June proclaimed Recreation and Parks Month in N.B.
The month of June is Recreation and Parks Month in the City of North Battleford.
The proclamation was brought forward at Monday’s city council meeting and passed with a unanimous vote. Mayor Ryan Bater said it’s a province-wide initiative, and not something that just North Battleford is doing.
“It’s simply to recognize the important quality of life and economic benefits of having parks and recreation facilities in the community,” Bater said. “We’re very proud of the facilities we have, the services that are available and as a city we service the region in providing that recreation infrastructure and services.”
The list is long when it comes to recreation facilities around the area, and includes the Battlefords CO-OP Aquatic Centre, NationsWEST Field House, Northland Power Curling Rink, and the Dekker Centre.
