On Fri., June 28 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. the Yorkton Walmart Store is hosting a barbecue on behalf of the Lung Association of Saskatchewan. This is the fifth year that Walmart patrons have been invited to purchase a pop and hot dog for just $3.00, listen to a live band, and win some fabulous prizes. Lung Association employees will be on hand to demonstrate spirometry, a simple breathing test, and to answer your lung health questions. All proceeds from this fundraiser remain right here in Saskatchewan. Together we can advance respiratory health for the residents of our province because, "when you can't breathe, nothing else matters."
