Seeing green

The Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society is improving the area around the mill in order to make it a green space in the heart of Yorkton. A pair of recent donations are helping make that possible. The Yorkton Business Improvement District donated $25,000 over five years to the improvement of the mill. Pictured are Gladys Krepakevich, Glenn Wiseman, Larry Pearen and Gene Krepakevich of the Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society, presented with a check from YBID, represented by Bruce Thurston, board member and Meagan Richards, chairperson. Canadian Tire’s donation of five Colorado Spruce trees – half of the trees to be planted this fall at the location – will provide more literal green. The trees were presented to Gladys Krepakevich, Larry Pearen, Glenn Wiseman and Gene Krepakevich by David Dungey, owner of Yorkton Canadian Tire, and are valued at $1,000.
