The North East REDA
is one of the more than 25 REDA's in the Province of
Saskatchewan. The North
East REDA was started in November of 1993 and incorporated in 1995.
The North East REDA area covers North Eastern
Saskatchewan and includes
Melfort, Tisdale, Nipawin, Arborfield,
Carrot
River,
Choiceland, Cumberland House, Naicam and Zenon
Park.
As with other REDA's, it has a mandate to foster
economic development within the region. However, it is unlike other
REDA's in its operating structure. North East REDA is unique in
that it does not have a fully staffed central office with all the accompanying overhead costs, as is the
case with other REDA's. This
organization has service agreement with six local economic
development departments (3 full-time & 3 part-time) to pursue
development in the region. This contractual agreement, and the
resulting operational savings, allow North East REDA to undertake more
initiatives than would otherwise be the case.
The edge of the North East region is about 1.5 hour
drive from Saskatoon
(the province's largest city) via Highway #41 and about a 2.5 hour drive
from Regina (the province's
capital) via Highway #6.
