POWERFUL PARTNERSHIPS Communities Working Together What creates a living community? People, of course, but people need good jobs, homes, schools, hospitals, roads and entertainment. Having all those depends on having a good economy that creates business and employment opportunities and attracts people and investment. The Cornerstone REDA Board of Directors and staff work diligently to promote economic development and well being within southeast Saskatchewan. The focus of the REDA is to provide the following services: coordination, organizational development and planning, education and training, information, research and development, promotion and marketing, and local initiative and project management assistance. Southeast Saskatchewan is indeed fortunate to have abundant natural resources (coal, oil, gas), along with a strong agricultural base, lots of space, clean air and water. In addition to our beautiful land with all of its resources, we have our people -- friendly, intelligent, enterprising. "There is a passion for small-town living in Saskatchewan. A town is about the interconnectedness of people - the people who work in the community, live in and around the community and have a personal investment in it. You know your neighbours and you gather with them at the hockey arena, curling rink, baseball diamond," says Cornerstone REDA Chairperson, Vernna Wiggins. "Over the past decade, more and more communities have joined together in regional economic development authorities to work towards a higher quality of life. There is a common desire for communities to better themselves by thinking beyond their borders." A win for any community in the region is a win for all.
