Released on September 14, 2011
The 2011 harvest has ended for the offenders from the Saskatoon Correctional Centre's Urban Camp, and the bounty is all being donated to the Saskatoon Food Bank and St. Mary's Community School.
"At the same time offenders are learning work skills that will help them reduce their chances for re-offending when they're released, community members with limited resources also benefit," Corrections, Public Safety and Policing Minister D.F. (Yogi) Huyghebaert said.
This year marks the second year of a partnership between the Saskatoon Correctional Centre, the Food Bank and St. Mary's. The harvest from this season alone will see more than 3,200 hamper bags of produce provided to these organizations.
"This donation makes a difference to the clients who use our services, and we are pleased to be a partner in this important community initiative," Saskatoon Food Bank CEO Paul Merriman said.
"Our school lunch program is aimed to provide nutritious food to help our students perform better in school, and this donation helps us honour that commitment," St Mary's Community School Principal Tony Bairos said.
Urban camp offenders and staff maintain and grow a wide variety of vegetables over the summer for harvest in the fall. Gardeners are supplied with seeds, gardening tools and construction material through donations from Early's Farm and Garden Centre, Floral Acres and Hamm Construction.
The Urban Camp program has been in existence for 29 years, and provides offenders who are nearing release with work experience geared to supporting the community.
