SCN Stimulates Saskatchewan’s Economy

• By shutting down SCN, Saskatchewan will lose, rather than save.

• When SCN invests in a Saskatchewan-made film or television program, that investment triggers significant out-of-province investments.

• For example, SCN’s investment of $327,300 in Landscape as Muse triggered $1,215,083 in investments and sales from outside Saskatchewan.

• SCN’s investment of $78,000 in A Few Good Men & Women triggered $475,000 in out-of-province investments.

• This is new money coming into the province and being spent here on Saskatchewan labour and with local businesses.

SCN Invests in Rural Saskatchewan

• Many SCN-supported programs are filmed in rural Saskatchewan, generating economic activity across the province.

• Many SCN-supported programs tell stories from rural Saskatchewan.

• SCN is broadcast on Bell ExpressVu (Channel 266) and Star Choice (Channel 352), both of which are available in rural areas without access to SaskTel Max.

• SCN allows Saskatchewan to have a voice on the Canadian and International cultural landscape by supporting award-winning programming.
