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.

Episode 4
Candice Nelson, the SIGN Positive Impact social worker, talks about the lunch program she and staff of the Kamsack Family Resource Centre initiated in spring when school lunch programs in Kamsack SK -- and the schools -- shut down because of Covid-19. It had strong support from the Kamsack community, without which the program would not have been possible. Although schools are back in operation, the lunch program continues this fall to assist those in need.
