Public support needed for 2018 Sask. Winter Games bid
North Battleford is one of the two finalists up for hosting the 2018 Saskatchewan Winter Games and the city hopes public support can help their cause.
The selection committee will tour North Battleford and competing city Lloydminister before making their decision.
Director of leisure Bill Samborski said community enthusiasm will be the deciding factor.
“If they have time to be in certain areas at key times, even just holding up posters saying ‘We want the Games,’ or just kind of having that visible presence…There’s no way the selection committee can come here and then say there wasn’t any sign of community support.”
