2014 SK Winter Games Workshop – Let’s Have a Successful Bid for 2014 Saskatchewan Winter Games

2014 Saskatchewan Winter Games Workshop – Thursday April 28
Those interested in participating in the organization of the games encouraged to attend.

The City of Prince Albert is in the process of making an application to host the 2014
Saskatchewan Winter Games. As part of that process, the Saskatchewan Games Consultant will
be hosting a workshop in Prince Albert on Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 7:00p.m. at the Alfred
Jenkins Fieldhouse.

The workshop will be led by Lorne Lasuita, the Provincial Games Consultant, who will review bid requirements and expectations of the successful community.

“We are in the early stages of the application procedure and we are looking for people who might
be interested in organizing the games to come out to the meeting,” said Jody Boulet, Recreation
Manager for the City of Prince Albert.

“This will be the first opportunity for community members to come out and learn more about the games. If we are successful in our application we will require approximately a dozen volunteers to take on some of the higher level responsibilities associated with organizing an event of this nature.
