Another excellent article from SaskToday.ca that explains the role SSEP has in shaping economic development and opportunities in Southeast Saskatchewan.
Here’s an excerpt:
One of the representatives of the Southeast Sask. Economic Partnership (SSEP), which is working with the RMs of Estevan and Coalfields, as well as the Town of Bienfait to bring new economic opportunities to the region, spoke at the latest Estevan Chamber of Commerce Coffee Talk on April 3.
The conversation with Tim Keating, managing director of the SSEP, was focused on their initiatives and rural regional economic development. Keating, who was born and raised in the Estevan area, started with a brief overview of the organization.
The SSEP is a partnership of the two southeastern RMs and Bienfait. Each member offers diverse investment opportunities to start, grow or expand a business. As a region, the southeast offers the strength of combined knowledge, land, transportation logistics, low business costs, a skilled workforce, and abundant natural resources, according to SSEP’s website.
“Through the coal transition and the focus on economic development, the group was formed to represent rural southeastern Saskatchewan’s needs, concerns, its priorities, initiatives and work with the city and work in partnership to grow the region,” Keating said.
