Our Impact

For over 25 years, Quint, a key member of the Saskatoon’s core communities, has devotedly developed strategies to address local issues like poverty, homelessness, and limited economic opportunities.

Build Up Saskatoon is a tangible extension of Quint’s mandate to reduce employment barriers and aid in Community Economic Development. After years working with some of the most vulnerable and marginalized communities, Quint observed a lack of opportunities for individuals with a criminal justice history. The Build Up program was conceived not only to help reintegrate, stabilize and support those exiting the justice system, but also as a tangible means to contribute meaningfully to Community Safety and Wellbeing initiatives.
