FUNDING FOR SK ABILITIES COUNCIL

Released on November 17, 2000

A Saskatoon community-based employment program is receiving $26,000 to help the

intellectually disabled find work.



Saskatoon's branch of the Saskatchewan Abilities Council will use the money to

hire an Employment Specialist to set up a six month employment program for five

long term clients. The program will focus on those who had no previous support

in trying to get a job.



"All people in Saskatchewan have the right to participate fully in their

communities," Social Services Minister Harry Van Mulligen said. "The Supported

Employment Transition Initiatives will give people with intellectual

disabilities a more independent lifestyle."



"One of the keys to our success in supported employment is the on-going support

that we give our clients and to the employer," Program Manager Joyce Phillips

said. "This initiative will ensure the people in the program will be employed

with appropriate supports in place."



Funding has been provided from the Supported Employment Transition Initiative

Fund by Social Services, Community Living Division. The Saskatchewan

Association of Rehabilitation Centres (SARC) administers the $300,000 annual

allocation.



There are ten partners committed to this project, including Human Resources

Development Canada (HRDC), Saskatchewan Social Services' Community Living

Division, Battlefords Health District-Mental Health, and the Canadian Mental

Health Association-North Battleford Branch.
