SCN Matters delivered an additional 1,216 petition signatures to Premier Brad Wall today, urging the Sask Party government to restore funding to SCN.

These are in addition to the 2,451 signatures submitted in mid May (from 80 Saskatchewan cities and towns), bringing the total to 3,667 signatures submitted to date.

The Petition reads:  “We, the undersigned, appeal to you and the Government of Saskatchewan to demonstrate your commitment to the people of Saskatchewan, to Saskatchewan culture and to the economy of Saskatchewan, by renewing the Government’s support for public broadcaster SCN – Saskatchewan Communications Network.”

These signatories and the SCN Matters membership (including over 4,650 Facebook members) are urging the Brad Wall government to reverse its ill-informed decision closing SCN and to halt the privatization process which is likewise insular, haphazard and riddled with irregularities.
