Warman, Saskatchewan — On behalf of the Honourable Carol
Skelton, Minister of Minister of National Revenue and Western Economic Diversification
(WD), Maurice Vellacott, Member of Parliament for Saskatoon—Wanuskewin,
today announced that the Town of Warman will open its new community park, funded
through the Government of Canada’s Canada Celebrates Saskatchewan
Centennial initiative.
The $69,620 WD contribution has provided the park with benches, lighting, new
sod, landscaping and an irrigation system.
“Canada’s New Government is proud to contribute almost $70,000
to the Town of Warman to build and furnish this new park,” said Vellacott.
“This is an excellent initiative to commemorate Saskatchewan’s centennial
year. Warman families will be able to use this park today and for generations
to come.”
Canada Celebrates Saskatchewan was a community-based, grassroots initiative
designed to commemorate Saskatchewan’s 100th birthday. A province-wide
initiative, it enabled communities to undertake capital projects to improve
or upgrade civic facilities and create a permanent legacy of the province’s
centennial for future generations.
The Town of Warman will be holding the grand opening of the park on Sunday,
September 10th at 1:00 p.m.
