$2 MILLION EARMARKED FOR RECREATIONAL AND CULTURAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE NORTH

Released on December 14, 2006

Residents of Northern Saskatchewan will soon be enjoying enhanced recreational and cultural facilities, thanks to a $2 million investment from the provincial government through the Building Communities Program.

"We believe that all our citizens, including those who live in the North, should benefit from having access to cultural and recreational activities," Community Resources Minister Buckley Belanger told participants attending the Northern Municipal Roundtable in Prince Albert. "These activities are key contributors to the quality of life that we celebrate in Saskatchewan. The Building Communities Program supports the government's commitment to make life better for all Saskatchewan families and build a better future for our young people."

The Building Communities Program has established separate criteria that recognize the unique needs of communities in the North. For example, these projects may qualify for funding if they are less than $1 million in total cost. As well, the total cost of the project may be covered. In the rest of the province, up to 25 per cent of the cost will be covered for those projects that qualify.

The Building Communities Program will provide $100 million over three years-up to $20 million in the first year (2006-2007) and $40 million for each of years two (2007-2008) and three (2008-2009). On Wednesday, the first of four projects to receive funding were announced, Lloydminster's Common Wealth Centre, Swift Current's Centennial Civic Centre, Wanuskewin Heritage Park and Yorkton's Gallagher Centre.

Complete information on the Building Communities Program, including information on the $2 million earmarked for the North, can be found on the Department of Culture, Youth and Recreation's website at www.cyr.gov.sk.ca.
