CASINO FUNDS PROVIDE SUPPORT IN TURTLEFORD

Released on December 22, 1998

Violet Stanger, MLA for Lloydminster today announced, on behalf of

Municipal Affairs, Culture and Housing Minister Carol Teichrob, that

Midwest Food Resource Project Inc. of Turtleford received $25,000 from

casino profits through the Associated Entities Fund.



"The province established the Associated Entities Fund to distribute a

portion of casino profits for the benefit of Saskatchewan people,"

Stanger said. "Since the beginning of 1997 more than $3 million in

casino profits have been distributed throughout Saskatchewan for

programs that support children, youth and families."



The Kanaweyimik Child & Family Services, the Battleford Boys & Girls

Club and the Third Avenue United Church have formed the Midwest Food

Resource Project Inc. They are working together to support the

development of community kitchens. The kitchens will encourage the

development of personal skills for families in areas of nutrition,

budgeting and food handling.



Associated Entities Fund receives a portion of the profits from Casino

Regina, the Gold Eagle Casino, North Battleford, the Northern Lights

Casino, Prince Albert and the Painted Hand Casino, Yorkton.
