Committee has to raise half a million dollars to meet budget goal
Business owners in the Battlefords area can expect a visit from the Saskatchewan Winter Games Committee as it has to raise just over half a million dollars to hit their total budgeted goal of roughly $1.8 million.
The 2018 Saskatchewan Winter Games, hosted by the Battlefords and area, are less than a year away. Representatives from the board informed North Battleford City Council about their budget and broke it down.
Derek Sieben is the administration and finance chair. He spoke to council about the level of confidence he has his team will reach their goal of raising $527,641.
“I know we are up for the task,” Sieben said. “We have a great committee and they really hit the ground running. Businesses can expects visits and the goal is to paint the town in the posters we provide saying you’ve supported the games. It is going to be a very exciting year.”
