The homes are a joint project between the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan, and the River Bank Development Corporation (RBDC).
RBDC executive director Brian Howell said the project would not have come together without the support of the two levels of government, which jointly provided $440,000 under the Canada-Saskatchewan investment in affordable housing agreement.
“I want to express our appreciation to the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan for their support on this project which will improve our communities and the lives of our families,” Howell said in a release.
