CASINO FUNDS SUPPORT FIVE SASKATOON PROJECTS

Released on May 19, 1998

Economic and Co-operative Development Minister Janice MacKinnon, on

behalf of Municipal Government Minister Carol Teichrob, announced that

five Saskatoon organizations have received more than $38,000 of casino

profits through the Associated Entities Fund.



Grants have been made to the Saskatoon YWCA, the Saskatoon Family

Service Bureau, the Leif Erickson Tenant Association, the Saskatoon

Association for Community Living and the John Howard Society.



"The province established the Associated Entities Fund to distribute a

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

MacKinnon said. "Since the beginning of 1997 more than $1 million in

casino profits have been distributed throughout Saskatchewan for

programs that support children, youth and families."



The YWCA received $10,000 to help provide prevention and intervention

services to children who witness or have experienced violence in their

homes or among their peers.



The Family Service Bureau received $3,500 for a six week

multi-disciplinary performing arts project during which young people

will create, develop and produce a one hour performance piece.



The $2,910 grant to the Leif Erickson Tenant Association will be

used to hold three youth programs designed to give support in the

areas of physical, emotional and mental health. A resume and job

search workshop for youth and adults is also being planned.



An Aboriginal Respite Program co-ordinated by the Association for

Community Living will provide services for Aboriginal families of

children with disabilities. The $8,600 grant will fund a portion

of this one-year pilot project.



The John Howard Society will use its $13,090 grant to support

Tagbusters'. This is an anti-graffiti project. Young people

aged 12 to 17 years who the courts have ordered to perform

community service will be involved in cleaning and painting over

graffiti in Saskatoon.



The 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.
