Released on May 27, 2016
The Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan, along with Blue Oak Holdings Inc. (Blue Oak), today celebrated the official opening of 12 new affordable rental units for low- to moderate-income individuals and families in Carlyle.
Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, on behalf of Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), and Member of the Legislative Assembly for Cannington Dan D'Autremont on behalf of Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC) Donna Harpauer, made the announcement today.
“The peace of mind that comes with having a secure and stable home is invaluable,” said Goodale. “This is why our Government is glad to be involved in the creation of these 12 new units which will provide Canadians in Carlyle with affordable and quality housing while supporting the local economy.”
“This project is an exciting housing option for the community of Carlyle,” D'Autremont said. “Not only is it meeting a real need for housing, it is providing low-to moderate-income renters with an opportunity to live in an affordable home as they pursue other opportunities that exist in this province. We are proud to work with our partners to keep Saskatchewan strong by continuing to increase housing supply, to improve housing affordability and to support individuals and families in greatest housing need.”
“We are committed to helping Saskatchewan grow and thrive,” Blue Oak Holdings Inc. CEO Jason Zhao said. “We believe in providing affordable and comfortable accommodations to our residents in rural hubs across the province. We really appreciate the programs that the Government of Saskatchewan has available to help make this possible. This project would not have been possible without the wonderful support we have received from the province and the Town of Carlyle. We look forward to continuing to work together with our governments and communities to provide even more housing to our residents across Saskatchewan.”
