GOVERNMENTS OF CANADA AND SASKATCHEWAN HELP PEOPLE IN PRINCE ALBERT WHO FACE BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT

Released on August 31, 2011

People who face barriers to employment will get work experience through government support for two employment projects. The announcement was made by Mr. Randy Hoback, Member of Parliament for Prince Albert, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, and by the Honourable Darryl Hickie, Minister of Municipal Affairs for Saskatchewan, on behalf of the Honourable Rob Norris, Minister of Advanced Education, Employment and Immigration for Saskatchewan.

"In today's environment, it is more important than ever that all Canadians have the skills they need to participate and succeed in the job market," Mr. Hoback said. "By supporting these projects, our government is helping young people and Canadians with disabilities maximize their potential."

The Prince Albert and District Community Service Centre's Creating Self-Sufficiency project will receive more than $46,000 in federal funding from the Enhanced Employment Assistance Services component of the Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities. The organization will also receive close to $28,000 in Skills Link funding for its Community Service Centre project.

"Saskatchewan continues to be a place of great opportunity for our citizens," Minister Hickie said. "Through our Career and Employment Services branch, the Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to contribute $163,000 to these projects, which are helping more people to seize those opportunities and to realize the ‘Saskatchewan Advantage'."

The Opportunities Fund contribution will enable the ‘Creating Self-Sufficiency' project to help 24 people with disabilities find jobs or go back to school. Through the Skills Link project funding, the organization will help 15 young people overcome the hurdles that prevent them from getting jobs or pursuing their education.
