Quint Development Corporation

Quint Development Corporation exists to strengthen the economic and social well being of Saskatoon's five core neighbourhoods through a community based economic development approach.

Quint, meaning five in Latin, represents the communities of Caswell Hill, King George, Pleasant Hill, Riversdale and Westmount.

In 1995, community representatives from the five neighborhoods formed a CED organization through which we work to improve our lives, our neighborhoods and ourselves.

Community residents form at least three quarters of Quint's board of Directors, including appointed representatives from the five community associations. The board develops Quint's policies and directions.

Our Mission
To strengthen the economic and social well being of Saskatoon's five core neighbourhoods through a community based development approach.

Our Development Philosophy
We are guided by a holistic approach that integrates economic, social, ecological and cultural development with a goal to revitalize and reclaim communities. This approach concentrates on the development of community organizations that enable citizens to pool their resources and talents to create community ownership , jobs, training and income for community members.

Our Vision
We see citizens who are caring and self reliant in communities that are safe and stable, where all citizens can participate. We see a vital local economy that uses local resources, sustains jobs, business and community enterprises, with neighbourhoods that are prosperous, beautiful and environmentally sustainable. We see the community initiating and supporting cultural, recreational, educational and social-economic opportunities for us all.
