CASINO FUNDS SUPPORT YOUTH PROGRAMS IN ROCKGLEN AND SHAUNAVON

Released on April 22, 1999

Municipal Affairs, Culture and Housing Minister Carol Teichrob

announced today that community groups in Rockglen and Shaunavon have

received $5,100 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,"

Teichrob 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 Rockglen Community Youth Initiative received $4,000 toward

establishing a youth drop-in centre. The youth centre will provide a

safe environment where youth in the community will develop social

skills and positive relationships with adults while participating in

sport clinics and art and theatre workshops.



The Shaunavon Community Action Team received $1,100 to establish a

child abuse prevention program called Circles which introduces

children to boundaries in relationships.



The 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.
