On Thursday, the Battlefords Agency of Tribal Chiefs Community Development Corporation (BATC CDC) announced a $125,000 donation to next February’s Saskatchewan Winter Games, the largest contribution to date.
“I would like to congratulate the mayor on the bid of the Winter Games,” Saulteaux First Nation Chief Kenny Moccasin said at the announcement. “I’d like to also thank the Winter Games committee…I know we hosted the First Nation Winter Games a few years back and it was a big job, big task.”
Winter Games co-chair Rob Rongve also announced at the cheque presentation that the BATC CDC will receive the naming rights for the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the biathlon and cross-country skiing events.
The opening ceremonies will take place in North Battleford on Feb. 18 at 7 p.m., while the closing ceremonies will take place on Feb. 24 at 4 p.m.
