Six communities will receive a $25,000 grant as the winners of the Richardson Pioneer Rider Nation Community Celebration contest. The Richardson Pioneer Community Celebration is bringing Grey Cup Festival excitement throughout Saskatchewan as the CFL championship heads to Regina in November this year.

In addition to the $25,000 donation from Richardson Pioneer to support local sport, culture, and recreation projects, the winning communities will host a one-day party featuring the Grey Cup trophy, the 620 CKRM Rider Cheer Team, Gainer the Gopher, and Rider alumni.

“We are proud to support the communities where our customers and employees live and work,” said Neil Banbury, Assistant Vice-President at Richardson Pioneer. “I want to congratulate all the winners, and thank all the applicants, for their commitment to their communities. The Community Celebration contest showcases the best aspects of Saskatchewan communities and Richardson Pioneer is proud to support initiatives that make the six winning communities even stronger.”

Over 60 Saskatchewan communities entered the Richardson Pioneer Rider Nation Celebration Contest and finalists were determined by a selection committee.

Congratulations to the winners – Richardson Pioneer is proud to support your community projects!

The Birch Hills Project will assist in constructing a new golf clubhouse, allowing for the community to then host larger tournaments, serve healthy meals, and provide a local venue suitable to promote the sport of golf, group fundraisers, and local events.
