IMMIGRANTS HELPED TO MAKE MOOSE JAW THEIR NEW HOME

Released on August 5, 1999

Refugees and immigrants living in Moose Jaw and getting help from the Moose Jaw

Multicultual Council to establish homes, educate their children and find jobs

will benefit from a provincial government grant.



Glenn Hagel, MLA for Moose Jaw North, presented a $15,000 grant to the council

on behalf of Municipal Affairs, Culture and Housing Minister Carol Teichrob.



The council will use the money to help people find accommodation, bank, shop

for clothing, provide translation services and language classes, help with

accessing health services and find jobs.



"The provincial government is committed to enhancing the quality of life and

strengthening Saskatchewan communities in many ways," Hagel said. "Support of

groups such as the Moose Jaw Multicultural Council is one way to help new

people to our province feel welcome."



Last year the Moose Jaw Multicultural Council assisted people from Sudan,

India, Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Somalia, a total of 53 new clients. This

year the agency expects to support more immigrants and refugees; up to 50

Kosovar refugees arriving to settle in the Moose Jaw area.
