The Government of Saskatchewan is giving a boost to 15 municipal projects with a half-million-dollar investment.
The $500,000 will support projects including a land use plan in the RM of Paddockwood, creating a regional emergency plan in the Lanigan area, and creating shared policy manuals for municipal officials in communities around west-central Saskatchewan.
The funding will be invested through the government’s Targeted Sector Support initiative, which provides cost-shared grants to municipal projects that boost “good governance, capacity building and regional co-operation.”
The committee that reviews the projects includes representatives from the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) and the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), as well as New North and the Ministry of Government Relations.
“By investing in projects that foster good governance and encourage inter-community collaboration, the Targeted Sector Support Initiative is helping to strengthen Saskatchewan’s hometowns and improve the lives of our residents,” SUMA president Randy Goulden said in a statement.
The $500,000 in funding announced Friday represents the fourth round of funding through the Targeted Sector Support initiative, the ministry noted.
“All Saskatchewan municipalities are encouraged to apply for TSS funding in the next intake for applications,” the ministry added, “which is expected to open in early March.”
