ISC ASSISTS WITH RESTORATION AND RELOCATION OF HISTORIC LANDMARK

Released on July 25, 2005

Information Services Corporation (ISC) of Saskatchewan has provided the Sukanen Ship and Pioneer Village Museum with $2,000 to help with the restoration and relocation of the Diefenbaker Homestead.

The Homestead was moved from its Wascana Park location to the Sukanen Museum in November 2004.

"The Diefenbaker Homestead is a significant and historic landmark for the province of Saskatchewan," ISC President and CEO Mark MacLeod said. "We are pleased to have been able to ensure that this important site continues to be available for Saskatchewan people to learn from and enjoy."

The homestead was originally located near Borden, Saskatchewan. It was built by a young John Diefenbaker and his father in 1906. It was the boyhood home of the future prime minster for a number of his young years. As well it was it was a place that Diefenbaker worked to restore in his later years.

MacLeod said that the homestead is also significant in Saskatchewan's history, because in many ways it represents the determination and tenacity of Saskatchewan's early settlers.

"Saskatchewan's settlers faced many challenges unimaginable to most of us today. It is because of their determination that we have such a great province today," he said, adding that ISC decided to assist with $2,000 in funding to help with the relocation and restoration of the homestead because of the corporation's historic connection to the birth of the province.

"ISC shares a proud history that predates the birth of the province, stretching back to the 1870's through surveying and granting of land for the first homesteads, and then through the transfer of titles during the early settlement and the onset of agriculture in our nation's heartland," MacLeod said.

As one of the corporation's Centennial initiatives, MacLeod also presented the Sukanen Ship and Pioneer Village Museum with a framed copy of the homestead's original land grant.

ISC is the provincial crown corporation responsible for the administration of provincial land titles, surveys, mapping and geographic information services as well as the personal property registry.
