$240,000 FOR SASKATCHEWAN SCIENCE CENTRE

Released on January 17, 2001

The Saskatchewan Science Centre has received $240,000 from the Saskatchewan

Centenary Fund. This money will go to The Celebration of Saskatchewan Science

projects to be developed over the next four years.



"These initiatives will help current and future generations understand science

especially as it applies to the Saskatchewan environment," Municipal Affairs,

Culture and Housing Minister Jack Hillson said. "The new features will

complement existing attractions that the Science Centre offers to visitors."



The first of the four projects is the Saskatchewan Enviro Lab that will give

school and community groups the opportunity to explore environmental issues,

with equipment and resources not typically found in the classroom. The other

projects are a computer lab, a travelling lab for use at outreach programs and

community events throughout the province, and the Saskatchewan Wetlands

Interpretive Centre.



"The Saskatchewan Science Centre is excited about this funding from the

Saskatchewan Centenary Fund. It will enable us to expand and enhance our

programming in areas such as environmental studies and natural resources,"

Saskatchewan Science Centre Board Chair Joe van Koeverden said. "We appreciate

the financial support of the provincial government in helping us deliver high

quality science educational programming."



The Centenary Fund, announced in Saskatchewan's 2000-01 budget, was established

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

up to the Saskatchewan centennial celebrations in 2005, the Saskatchewan

Government is funding projects that will address specific infrastructure needs

related to heritage properties, parks, highways, environmental clean-up,

education, housing and municipal infrastructure.
