Government Supports Yorkton CBOs with $867,000 for Those in Need

Released on April 10, 2015

The Government of Saskatchewan today announced a renewed funding commitment of $867,000 to help several Yorkton community based organizations (CBOs).  The Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours (SIGN) and Yorkton Women in Need will benefit from this support.

“We are proud to partner with these wonderful organizations,” Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit said on behalf of Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer and Justice Minister Gordon Wyant.  “Both SIGN and Yorkton Women in Need are great organizations that are helping to make life better for Saskatchewan people, and I want to thank them for their dedication to those in need in Yorkton.”

The Ministry of Social Services will provide SIGN with $181,000 in funding for their Diversion program.  The goal of this program is to provide in-home support and education to parents whose children are at risk of coming into the care of the Ministry of Social Services.  SIGN is also provided with funding for their Positive Parenting Programming (Triple P), family supports, operating a five-space group home, delivering a life skills program, and intensive in-home supports.  The Ministry of Social Services provides SIGN with annual funding of $2.2 million.

The Ministry of Justice continues to support victims of interpersonal violence and abuse in Yorkton with funding of $686,870.  In addition to supporting SIGN for sexual assault services, this funding also supports Yorkton Women in Need for transition house and family violence outreach services.

Across the province, the Ministry of Justice’s Interpersonal Violence and Abuse Program is providing more than $11 million toward interpersonal violence programming this fiscal year.

“We are able to help a lot of Yorkton residents who are struggling thanks to the generous support of this government,” SIGN Vice-Chair Randy Goulden said.  “We also want to thank the province for partnering with us to make a difference in the lives of countless Yorkton families.”
