PRINCE ALBERT YOUTH CENTRE RECEIVES $5,000 FROM SGI CANADA

Released on March 30, 1999

Deputy Premier and Crown Investments Corporation Minister Dwain

Lingenfelter today presented $5,000 on behalf of SGI CANADA to the

Prince Albert Youth Activity Centre.



The donation represents SGI CANADA's commitment to the drop-in centre,

which celebrates its one-year anniversary in May.



"SGI CANADA is pleased to be involved with this initiative,"

Lingenfelter said. "Providing our young people with an outlet for

their creative, mental and physical energy is important to their

future. We can see by its growing popularity that the centre is

heading in the right direction to meet the needs of Prince Albert

youth."



The youth centre opened in 1998 in downtown Prince Albert with help

from SGI CANADA and its employees. Staff in Prince Albert, their

spouses and family members, volunteered at the Margo Fournier Centre

last May to help with the renovations to accommodate the facility's

new use.



In addition to its financial commitment to providing $5,000 per year

for a three-year period, the corporation also donated gifts in kind to

the centre. Gifts included office equipment, furniture and computers.



"We are very thankful to SGI CANADA for their support in the

development of this initiative. We have just been overwhelmed by

the success of the centre," said Peggy Rubin, Youth Co-ordinator

for the City of Prince Albert. "The response level has been so

great that the hours of operation were recently extended from

five to seven days a week at the request of the youth

participants."



The facility offers a safe haven to young people between the ages

of 12 and 18, and provides them with opportunities and activities

free of charge. Computers are available to do homework, outreach

counseling is offered to those who want it and recreational

activities are offered on a daily basis. Activities are also

available for children under 12 two days per week.



The centre is staffed with Youth Outreach workers and operates in

conjunction with the Integrated Youth Committee and the Prince

Albert Youth Council, which was created to provide a voice for

young people. Attendance at the youth centre averages nearly 900

young people per month.
