Check out this great article from SaskToday.ca that outlines how SSEP is facilitating the MCTAP to help bring business and jobs to Southeast Saskatchewan.
Here’s an excerpt:
ESTEVAN — The Municipal Coal Transition Assistance Program (MCTAP), an initiative developed by the province of Saskatchewan to aid communities in transitioning from coal-based industries to alternative economic opportunities, is calling for southeast businesses to apply for financial help.
Facilitated by the Southeast Sask Economic Partnership Inc. (SSEP) in conjunction with the City of Estevan, the program has provided beneficial financial support to several companies and organizations within the RM of Estevan, Town of Bienfait, RM of Coalfields and the City of Estevan.
Introduced in 2021, the program has been instrumental in fostering growth and innovation in the southeast region. Tim Keating, managing director of the SSEP, said in an interview with the Mercury and SaskToday that so far, the MCTAP has helped create about 60 jobs in the region. There is also the possibility for 10 more jobs through approved projects currently in the works, and there is still funding for more.
