Released on September 6, 2002
A comprehensive directory of the goods and services of businesses in more
than 62 communities in the Saskatchewan Northern Administration District
(NAD) is now available on the Internet.
"The Northern Business Directory was first published in 1998. We have now
updated the information in the directory and made it easier to use, not
only for people who want to access northern businesses but for the
businesses themselves," Northern Affairs Minister Buckley Belanger
said. "The directory is invaluable to anybody looking to do business in
the Northern Administration District. Northern enterprise continues to
grow, as does ability to use and access the information on the Internet."
The Northern Business Directory is hosted on line at career.kcdc.ca by the
Keewatin Career Development Corporation (KCDC). The directory can also be
accessed through the Northern Affairs Web site at northern.gov.sk.ca. The
business information available to directory users includes services
offered, business contact information, years in business, and location of
business as well as other information. The directory information is
compiled and updated by Saskatchewan Northern Affairs.
"I'm very pleased with the changes that we have made to the on-line
Business Directory," KCDC webmaster Bryan Orthner said. "It is now much
easier to find and print information from the directory. We have made it
simple for businesses to inform us of changes to their information so that
the information in the directory will remain accurate and up to date. We
have also added an e-mail notification service, so that users of the
directory can be automatically informed of updates."
The Northern Business Directory includes information on more than 700
businesses in the NAD. Businesses are listed alphabetically, as well as by
product and by location.
