Sask. Winter Games committee pleased with preparations for games
The countdown to the Saskatchewan Winter Games in the Battlefords continues to get smaller and smaller, as they are now less than two weeks away, and the Winter Games committee said they are happy with how preparations have went.
Perhaps the most positive news is the committee has met and exceeded their fundraising goal of $700,000.
“The Battlefords business community has stepped up in an incredible way,” Winter Games co-chair Rob Rongve said on Tuesday morning. “We’ve exceeded that [goal] by quite a considerable sum, which is good because we’ve had to approve some overages as far as costs that have come up that the sport groups or venues weren’t aware of inititially.”
Overall, Rongve couldn’t be more happy with where everything is at in terms of preparation.
