Wakaw mayor declares ‘Vey Day’ to honour its hockey Olympian
When the Canadian Olympic Men’s Hockey Team was announced on Jan. 11, only one player hailing from the province of Saskatchewan was included.
That of course is Wakaw’s own Linden Vey, and his small town of 1,000 people are making sure he knows how proud they are.
On Feb. 14, Wakaw will be dressed in red not because of Valentine’s Day, but for ‘Vey Day in Wakaw.’
Wakaw Mayor Steven Skoworodko declared Vey Day and encouraged his town to wear red or a custom made Vey Canada jersey that day, one sleep before Team Canada’s first Olympic game against Switzerland.
