SASKATCHEWAN ENTREPRENEURSHIP COUNCIL ANNOUNCED

Released on October 23, 2008

Saskatchewan entrepreneurs will now have a channel to voice their recommendations to the government on how to attract and improve entrepreneurial activities in the province.

The Saskatchewan Entrepreneurship Council was announced today by Enterprise and Innovation Minister Lyle Stewart, as he designated October 23, Youth Entrepreneurship Day. The council will be one of several strategic issues councils operating under the new economic development agency Enterprise Saskatchewan.

The Minister also announced $10,000 in funding that will go toward partnerships with Junior Achievement of Saskatchewan, an organization that provides entrepreneurship and leadership training to youth, and a new youth education centre in Regina, donated by TCU Financial Group, and managed by the Arcas Group Inc., a Saskatchewan-based marketing consulting firm.

"Entrepreneurs are the people behind the growth of our economy, as they see business opportunities and decide to exploit them," Stewart said. "Their input into what goes into our economic policies will not only be relevant and timely, but also be a benefit to the province by better positioning people for self-employment, and enabling them to create additional jobs for others, leading to expanded economic growth."

The following are members of the Saskatchewan Entrepreneurship Council:

1. Dr. Jim Mason, Hill School of Business, University of Regina
2. Monica Kreuger, President, Global Infobrokers, Inc.
