The province is providing approximately $664,300 in funding to community-based organizations and other agencies that help new immigrants get a start in Regina. This funding is part of $2.59 million in support the government is currently providing to immigrant service providers across the province.
"The employees and volunteers behind Regina's immigrant-serving organizations make a valuable contribution, not only to the newcomers they assist, but to this community and our province as a whole," Advanced Education, Employment and Labour Minister Rob Norris said. "This funding will help to support the vital services these agencies provide."
Approximately $318,600 in funding will be provided for the 2008-09 fiscal year to support English language training and labour market integration services at Regina Open Door Society, Beth Jacob Synagogue, Regina Immigrant Women Centre and the Regina Public School Division.
The Regina Open Door Society will also receive approximately $121,950 in funding this fiscal year under the Saskatchewan Nominee Assistance Program and the Enhanced Assessment and Referrals Program. In addition, the Beth Jacob Synagogue, Regina Immigrant Women Centre, L'Assembleé communautaire fransaskoise and the Regina Branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress will receive approximately $140,430 in funding for 2008-09 to deliver settlement services through the Community Capacity Building Fund.
Remaining funding covers support for smaller projects, core funding to Regina Open Door Society, grants to Regina Immigrant Women Centre and Uganda Canadian Association of Saskatchewan, and the seven per cent lift to community-based organizations announced by the government in September 2008.
The government has set an aggressive immigration target of 2,800 nominations for the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program during the 2008-09 fiscal year. Including nominees, spouses and families, this represents more than 7,500 newcomers to our province.
