Service Maps
Service mapping is both an equipping practice and an empowering tool for a coordinative body like Prairie Skies Integration Network and the organizations and people we exist to empower. The process helps:
- identify existing settlement service assets (services specific to newcomers)
- identify existing mainstream service assets (services require during integration)
- identify any gaps in service provision
- improve awareness of and connections to service providers in the region
There is a great deal of information available about local services in various formats and from various sources. However, it’s often available in text-based lists, with several limitations. It can also be difficult to find this info, for those who don’t know where to start looking.
To avoid “reinventing the wheel”, and in acknowledgement of the expertise of our partners, Prairie Skies has partnered with 211 Saskatchewan in our service mapping pursuit.
Our long-term goal is to provide a standardized and reliable information hub to support Community Service Providers in serving their clientele of newcomers. We look forward to enhancing our service mapping in the future, with Sask 211’s support. But for now, we would like to present you with resources specific to two service areas. These are not exhaustive collections of the information you are looking for, but a general start. By navigating 211 Saskatchewan’s website with your specific geography and topic in mind will yield much more focused results for you. 211 Saskatchewan’s comprehensive service mapping tool, offering both list & map format, is found here.
