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.
