NORQUAY REGION GROUP HELPS CREATE JOBS

Released on August 12, 1999

Businesses in the region around Norquay have created 39 jobs and

maintained another 15 jobs, thanks to the work of the Assiniboine

Plains Rural Development Corporation.



Minister of Education Clay Serby was in Norquay today to honour the

corporation for its job creation record through the province's Small

Business Loans Association (SBLA) program.



"Small businesses have a big impact in rural communities and the

Assiniboine Plains Rural Development Corporation illustrates what can

be accomplished when the government and communities work in

partnership," Serby said, speaking on behalf of Economic and Co-operative Development Minister Janice MacKinnon.



During 1998, small businesses supported by the SBLA program created

more than 360 jobs and maintained 565 more, mostly in rural

communities. This brought the total number of jobs created and

maintained since the program began to almost 13,600.



Under the program, the government provides funding to local SBLA

organizations. In turn, SBLAs provide loans to businesses that have

trouble getting money from the bank.
