Released on September 18, 1998
Municipal Government Minister Carol Teichrob today announced that 548community-based projects have received support from the Associated
Entities Fund (AEF) since the program began and she encouraged
community organizations to apply before the next application deadline
on Nov. 1, 1998.
"The AEF addresses community-identified needs that support programs
and services for vulnerable children, youth and families," Teichrob
said. "Since the program began, $2,937,427 has been distributed to
community organizations for these worthwhile projects."
The 548 projects involve a wide range of activities, such as:
a summer recreation program promoting healthy activities in
Shaunavon,
an outreach project for women in need and a summer fun project
for children with disabilities in Yorkton.
providing healthy snacks and meals to students in Rose Valley,
a summer reading program for inner city kids in Saskatoon,
a positive parenting program for teens in Meadow Lake,
substance abuse education and counseling in Green Lake, and
cross-cultural training and spiritual healing in communities near
La Ronge.
Requests for funding should be sent to one of the eleven Regional
Intersectoral Committees on Human Services. Eligible projects
which may qualify for funding include assistance for: nutrition
and hunger; sport, culture and recreation; crisis services;
health and well-being; educational and employment training; and
children with disabilities.
In addition to community organizations, the AEF distributes a
portion of casino profits to exhibition associations, and Metis
organizations. This year additional casino profits allowed the
AEF to support the valuable work of four hospital foundations
with a one-time $1.2 million investment to help acquire
specialized medical equipment.
Associated Entities Fund receives a portion of the profits from
Casino Regina, the Gold Eagle Casino in North Battleford, the
Northern Lights Casino in Prince Albert and the Painted Hand
Casino in Yorkton.
