Thank You Saskatoon & surrounding area
We are still seeking accommodations for one family (two adults and one child) from Paul Wilkinson Place.
Thank you to everyone for the overwhelming response of both donated items and financial contributions. Tenants are expressing their appreciation and are amazed at the generosity from the community.
Donations to date have been able to cover immediate needs of the families. It is greatly appreciated.
In the spirit of community involvement, the River Heights Affinity Credit Union will be hosting a fundraiser BBQ on Thursday, June 17th in front of their branch at 7 Assiniboine Drive. Please come out for hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks if you wish to support the Quint Fire Fund.Our Core Communities Shine Update
Due to recent cuts to our funding, Quint has had to make a number of difficult decisions, including the fate of the Our Core Communities Shine celebration. Consequently, we have decided that Quint is unable to follow through with this community celebration as originally planned.
However, we are planning to host a smaller community celebration in conjunction with our Annual General Meeting and to celebrate Quint's 15 years in the core communities of Saskatoon. This fall celebration will still include local performers, the presentation of the Local Hero Awards, a community meal and a small children's carnival.
Please stay tuned for event details and we hope to see you all there!
Sincerely,
Quint Board and Staff
Province Cuts Funding to Quint
"This came as a complete shock to us; there was no consultation prior to this decision, we were informed by a Social Services representative at 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon," says Len Usiskin, Quint's manager.
Sask Walk For Health
We regret to announce that SaskWalk for Health 2010 has been cancelled due to lack of registrations. We underestimated the difficulty people would have participating for such a long duration.
Quint Adds to Its Affordable Rental Stock
In keeping with our goals of leveraging capital into community ownership and creating more affordable housing, Quint has purchased an additional 18 suite apartment building. The building is located in Riversdale and is currently undergoing a complete renovation. As part of our training and employment objectives, we have hired local residents and contractors to complete the renovation work. We expect the building to be completed and fully occupied by November 2009. Stay tuned for an official announcement of this new affordable housing initiative in the upcoming months.
