HELP FOR PRINCE ALBERT COMMUNITY GROUPS

Released on February 6, 2003

Three Prince Albert community groups today received grants of more than $43,000 from the Community Initiatives Fund (CIF).

The Riverside Community School Association received $23,718 for their Aboriginal Parenting Program. The Montreal Lake Cree Nation Urban Office received $15,000 for its Urban Youth Fund project. The Prince Albert Métis Womens Association Inc. received $5,000 for their Youth Transportation Services program.

"These organizations are what make Saskatchewan thrive as a community, and they help us to grow stronger everyday," Industry and Resources Minister Eldon Lautermilch said on behalf of Culture, Youth and Recreation Minister Joanne Crofford. "As a result of the Community Initiatives Fund and the organization's commitment to helping people, Saskatchewan will prosper."

The Aboriginal Parenting Program will target new parents and young families, and will teach them parenting skills that are helpful in creating a positive home environment. The Urban Youth Fund project will promote cultural awareness and education and employment training in order to teach at-risk youth how to cope with the challenges of living in an urban environment. The Youth Transportation Services program will use its CIF grant to provide local Métis youth with transportation so they may participate in recreational activities.

"This program is a tremendous asset to our community," Riverside Community School Co-ordinator Delphine Melchert said. "The CIF grant has provided us with the opportunity to strengthen our community, which is something we deeply appreciate."

Established by the provincial government in 1997 to deliver a portion of casino profits back to communities, the CIF has provided more than 1,900 community groups with a total of almost $12 million. Formerly known as the Associated Entities Fund, the CIF is administered by Culture, Youth and Recreation.
