PRAIRIE WEST COLLEGE RECEIVES MONEY

Released on October 23, 2000

The government is investing $800,000 in Saskatchewan's eight Regional

Colleges. Prairie West Regional College will receive a portion of the money to

enhance technology used for on-line training and services.



"Strengthening our public institutions is one of the best ways we can celebrate

Saskatchewan's centenary," Post-Secondary Education and Skills Training

Minister Glenn Hagel said. "This funding will help the Regional Colleges,

including Prairie West, to bring a wide variety of training opportunities to

people in rural and northern Saskatchewan. This makes learning more accessible

and affordable."



The Regional Colleges plan to use the funding to offer services including

increased access to on-line training and services for students in their home

communities and enhanced access to learning resources via technology.



"Some of the key recommendations in this year's report of the Regional Colleges

Review Committee focussed on using technology to increase access to training

and to enhance learning," Prairie West Regional College CEO Bruce Probert

said. "This funding will help us to meet this goal."



The money is from the Centenary Capital Fund, announced in this year's budget

to leave a legacy of Saskatchewan's Centennial for future generations. Leading

up to the centennial celebrations in 2005, the Saskatchewan Government is

funding projects that support key infrastructure needs in the post-secondary

education and skills training sector.
