Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - PrairiesCan
Rural communities are key to Canada's economic, cultural, and social fabric. The Government of Canada and the government of Saskatchewan recognize that rural economies face their own unique opportunities and challenges, and that we need to work together to support a competitive business environment that enables economic growth that benefits everyone.
Attracting new investors to rural communities requires the collaboration of all levels of government, community organizations, and the private sector. And that same collaboration is needed to support growth in communities when new investments are made.
Today, the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister for PrairiesCan, and Minister Jeremy Harrison, Saskatchewan Minister of Trade and Export Development, each announced investments of $225,000, for Saskatchewan Economic Development Alliance (SEDA) to support and enhance investment readiness in rural Saskatchewan with the launch of the Saskatchewan Investment Readiness Initiative (SIRI).
SEDA will work throughout Saskatchewan during the project. They will help the targeted regions and local businesses prepare for investment and growth by assessing, planning for and supporting opportunities at a local and regional level, paving a way for economic growth in rural Saskatchewan. This work will help promote Saskatchewan's economy to the benefit of all those who work and live in the province.
