Spotlight Story: Moosomin
Gets Community Moving With Indoor Walking Track
|
|
Describe your walking track. Our walking track was opened in 2017 as part of our Nutrien Sportsplex Facility. This facility houses sports simulators, pickle ball, walking track, bowling, billiards, darts, shuffleboard and more! I am very proud that this facility was named the Overall Winner at the 2019 SUMA Community Awards in Saskatoon, and the walking track played a large role in that.
While our Parks and Recreation Department built the facility, around 85% of the cost was shouldered through fundraising and Corporate Sponsorship. Nutrien Mine made the largest donation with a $250,000 commitment. The entire building is maintained and managed by the Parks and Recreation Department.

Familiarize yourself with the safe sport resources.

Know that you have options for support.
• Sask Sport’s Dispute Resolution Officer, Nathan Cole, can assist organizations with best practices regarding how to handle a complaint in sport. Contact Nathan at (306)780-9350 or

Theatre Saskatchewan Script Scramble!
|
|
Have you ever wanted to learn how to produce a play? Have you ever wanted to try acting? Directing? The Theatre Saskatchewan Script Scramble is a crash course in putting on a show while giving participants an opportunity to work with theatre artists outside their community.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the Programming Toolkit is to provide leaders and volunteers with easy programming tips, tools and templates to plan programs or activities in the community. The number one reason why
small towns struggle to host activities for sport, culture and recreation is because there is no one to do the work and/or volunteers have limited time to plan!
Grab this toolkit and we’ll make it that much easier for you!
