SIGN for the Times
The Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours, commonly known as SIGN, is a not-for-profit agency in Yorkton, Saskatchewan Canada that provides 24 social and community programs and services ranging from daycare and before-and-after school programs to parenting and family support, from senior mobility to assistance for those living with HIV, from housing support to vocational employment, from walk-in counselling services to Indigenous cultural programs. Our podcasts explore those programs and include conversations with people who speak first-hand about the issues they have faced, but more importantly, how they have successfully overcome them.

The SIGN Family Support program provides guidance, assistance and advice to up to 75 families in east-central Saskatchewan. Included is a program started in the fall to assist students going back to school to ensure they have the supplies they need to make the best of their studies. That program is now year-round, because, after all, students do run out of pencils, pens, notebooks and other necessities.
