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.

A new project of the Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours (SIGN) encourages and enables youth to become more involved in the community, and helps promote their well-being. Youth Resilience grew out of the realization that there is a need to provide more proactive and preventive ways to increase mental well-being, decrease substance use and reduce negative behaviour among youth. To do that, the project will work with youth ages 12 to 18 to build resilience and involve young people in activities and decision-making in Yorkton.
