Twin Rivers Curling Club makes strides in funding commitment
There were smiles all around at North Battleford City Hall on Monday night when Twin Rivers Curling Club representatives presented a hefty cheque for $100,000, part of the money the organization committed for its share to build the Northland Power Curling Centre.
The curling club credits the success of the 2017 Meridian Canadian Open-Grand Slam of Curling event, held in Jan. 2017 to help it raise the $100,000.
“We were very grateful to receive a cheque for $100,000 from the Twin Rivers Curling Club,” said Mayor Ryan Bater. “That is for the capital costs of the building of the Northland Power Curling Centre… We appreciate their commitment to that facility and to the enhancement of their organization.”
Twin Rivers Curling Club vice-president Doug Fehr said the money raised came from various sources, including advertising revenue, sponsorship ticket sales, and the 50-50 draw revenue.
