The Social Programs and Services department worked with community partners to raise awareness on screen time and how it affects our connections to each other. This was implemented through a public viewing of the documentary Screenagers, and the development of the Disconnect to Connect Boxes which were distributed throughout the community.

The Social Programs and Services department hosted several workshops including Karen Mercier’s Fund Development for Non-Profits, Morris Green’s Building Resilience in Youth, the Saskatchewan Schizophrenia Society on Mental Health, and Bill Harder’s Compassion Fatigue Workshop. These events help to enhance the knowledge and skills of non-profits and raise awareness of social issues in our community.

In 2018, the City of Lloydminster launched a new marketing strategy to promote the Neighbourhood Block Party Program. As a result, the number of Block Party bookings tripled from the previous year. Block parties are a great way to enhance your community connections and a sense of belonging.

FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES

SASKATCHEWAN LOTTERIES COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM

A large portion of the Social Programs

and Services Department’s funding

comes from the Family and Community

Support Services (FCSS). As part of an

agreement with the Province of Alberta,

the City of Lloydminster receives

$465,585, which it matches with a

minimum contribution of $116,396 for a

total of $581,981 spent on preventative

social programs and services. This 80/20

partnership is calculated based on the

Alberta population of Lloydminster, but

FCSS programs operate freely on both

sides of the border. Of this, $419,000

goes back into the community in the

form of grants.

The Saskatchewan Lotteries Community

Grant Program is a partnership among

Sask. Sport Inc., Sask. Culture Inc., and

the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation

Association Inc. The grant program

assists in the development of sport,

culture and recreation programs by

providing funds to non-profit community

organizations operated by volunteers.

The City of Lloydminster receives

funds which are then distributed to

local non-profit volunteer community

groups to provide programs. Total grant

funding for 2018/2019 was $67,222.

Funds received are calculated based on

Lloydminster’s Saskatchewan population,

but go towards programs that operate

on either side of the border.
