Kamsack is set to receive at least 100 seats from Taylor Field in Regina in the Grey Cup Legacy Project.
Following the regular meeting of town council on April 25, Mayor Rod Gardner said that an application made by Kev Sumner, Kamsack’s recreation director, for seats from the stadium being replaced by a new facility, succeeded in acquiring 100 seats for Kamsack.
The seats will be used at the sporting venues in the community including the soccer field, baseball diamonds, skateboard park and may be used to replace the old theatre seats in the curling rink viewing area, Sumner said.
Gardner, who discussed the project with an acquaintance in Regina, said he may have been successful in acquiring another 50 such seats.
The seats will not be in Kamsack until after Taylor Field is dismantled next year.
