FIRST REGIONAL HUB PROGRAM ANNOUNCED IN ESTEVAN AND WEYBURN

Released on November 22, 2013

In ceremonies today in Estevan and Weyburn, the cities and the Province of Saskatchewan officially announced the South East Regional Community Mobilization Hub program that works within the Building Partnerships to Reduce Crime approach to crime reduction and community safety and wellness.

“We are pleased that Estevan and Weyburn are establishing their own regional Hub program,” Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell said.  “Improved wellness for individuals, families and the community as a whole will ultimately reduce crime and victimization.”

The Hub brings staff from the Estevan and Weyburn Police Services, RCMP, Sun Country Health Region, the Ministries of Social Services and Corrections and Policing, South East Cornerstone Public School Division and the Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division together to help find ways to immediately assist individuals and families in at-risk situations.  The Hub meets weekly, alternating between the two cities, covering the corridor and surrounding communities, with future plans to expand into the rural communities, including First Nations communities.

“The South East Community Mobilization Hub has proven successful in other locations, specifically Prince Albert, and I am confident it will positively affect change in our communities as well,” Weyburn Chief of Police and South East Regional Community Mobilization Steering Committee Co-Chair Marlo Pritchard said.  “I am optimistic we will, in the near future be expanding outward of the Weyburn/Estevan area to serve all of south east Saskatchewan.”

Similar programs are established in Yorkton, La Ronge, Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Nipawin and Prince Albert.  In the months ahead, several other Saskatchewan communities will be looking at their own Hub programs.  The expansion of the Hubs across Saskatchewan is a key component of the Government’s Child and Family Agenda.
