ONE STOP BUSINESS SERVICE CENTRE OPENS IN SOUTHEAST

Released on June 29, 1998

Economic and Co-operative Development Minister Janice MacKinnon today

helped officially open the Southeast Centre for Business Development

in Weyburn. Centre partners are the South East Regional Economic

Development Authority, the Sunrise Community Futures Development

Corporation and the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce.



The centre brings together local, regional, provincial and federal

organizations under one roof to provide a wide range of business

development services to south east businesses and co-operatives.



"Through this innovative partnership, these organizations will be able

to provide a better level of service to people in the south east,"

MacKinnon said. "This new centre will make a significant contribution

to creating jobs and promoting economic growth in this region."



The minister said the co-location is an important step for the South

East REDA. The South East REDA was incorporated in September of 1995

and is run by a volunteer board of directors. It serves an area that

contains 15 R.Ms. and numerous smaller centres.



Catherine Kerr, manager of the South East REDA, said the move will

save on administrative costs but more importantly provide a stronger

delivery of services.



"By moving into the same building with the other economic

agencies we will be better able to serve the needs of the area,"

Kerr said. "This will make things convenient for entrepreneurs

when they need more than one agency's support. It will truly be

a teamwork concept at the new location."



This is the fourth such co-location of economic development

agencies in Saskatchewan. The other three serve the Prince

Albert, Yorkton and Swift Current areas. MacKinnon said the

government encourages such co-locations as part of a commitment

to co-ordinated and streamlined services.



"These partnerships among eocnomic development agencies help

advance a common goal, that of developing a region's economy,"

MacKinnon said. "The winners from the combined effort here are

the people and the businesses of southeast Saskatchewan."



The South East REDA is part of a network of grassroots regional

authorities which encourage investment and job creation. The

government provides cost-shared start-up and operational funding

to each REDA.
