JUMPSTART KIDS PLAY HERE!

Contact: 306-782-3471 Jumpstart is more than just about getting kids between 4 and 18 active. It’s about giving kids in financial need the same chance to participate as their neighbours, their classmates and their friends.

Whether it’s the chance to try a new sport or to continue with a favourite one, no kid should be left out.

When families need a little financial boost to get kids involved in a sport or recreational program, they need to fill out an application.

This needs to be done before the fees are due, as the money goes right to the organization. Applications for assistance can be submitted from January 15 to November 1; for Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter activities. Go online to Canadian Tire Jumpstart or call our community partner Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area at 306-782-3471 for more information.

patrick park disc golf course

Contact: E mail: padg.yorkton@gmail.com Patrick Park Disc Golf Course was opened in June 2011, and the original nine basket course has proved a challenge for experienced disc golfers, and yet forgiving for beginners since the course does not have hazards where discs can be lost. In 2015, in cooperation with local disc golfers, and the support of the City, alternative tee placements were installed, effectively extending the course to an 18. For those wanting to try the game, discs can also be picked up at the City’s Parks Shop at 263 Myrtle Avenue during regular business hours. Anyone seeking additional information on the sport, wanting details of upcoming tournament events, or help in starting a plan for a new area course can email padg.yorkton@gmail.com.
