Play it forward: City begins fundraising campaign for Leisure Centre
When started, the City of Prince Albert’s campaign to raise $20 million in donations for the new arenas and aquatic centre was already halfway to its goal, thanks to a $10 million from Lake Country Co-op earlier this fall.
At a launch held today inside the foyer of the Lake Country Leisure Centre, representatives from the City, Lake Country and the fundraising committee announced the theme of the campaign to raise the remaining $10 million, called Play it Forward.
“It’s very exciting and I’ve seen the results of a similar campaign where anyone can participate,” said Mayor Bill Powalinsky. “Anything that somebody wants to put on the table is a step.”
“Whether its large or small, I really encourage people to participate and feel really good about what we’re doing for the community.”
