The 2012 "Garden of Hope" harvest has ended for the inmates from the Saskatoon Correctional Centre's Urban Camp, and approximately 20,000 pounds of produce was donated to the Saskatoon Food Bank and St. Mary's Community School.
"This year marks the third year of the partnership between the Saskatoon Correctional Centre's Urban Camp, the Food Bank and St. Mary's Community School," Minister responsible for Corrections and Policing Christine Tell said. "Through the ‘Garden of Hope', Urban Camp inmates learn how to grow their own food and feel a sense of community and accomplishment with a successful harvest."
"I want to commend everyone involved, particularly the inmates for their ability to use this garden as an opportunity to enhance their work skills, while providing food to those who really need it in the community of Saskatoon," Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. "I am really pleased with the successful outcomes of this program."
Urban Camp inmates and staff grow a wide variety of vegetables over the summer. Gardeners are supplied with seeds, gardening tools and construction material through donations from Early's Farm and Garden Centre, Floral Acres Greenhouses and Garden Centre, and Farm and Garden Centre in Saskatoon.
The Urban Camp program has been in existence for 31 years, and provides inmates who are nearing release with work experience geared to supporting the community.
The Urban Camp also presented ten bikes and helmets to St. Mary's Community School. Zellers donated slightly damaged bikes and the inmates repaired them. Many children will have the opportunity to enjoy these bikes through St. Mary's "Bikes for Kids" program.
