Yorkton This Week

The WA WA Shrine Circus was in town on May 29, performing two shows to full houses at Farrell Agencies Arena. Proceeds from the circus go to support the WA WA Shriners and their charity work.

The Yorkton Bulldogs dropped a pair of road games over the weekend. On Saturday they lost 11-5 in Moose Jaw. On Sunday they came up short in a 9-4 loss at Regina. This weekend, they are on the road in Prince Albert to take on the Predators.

The Colony is one of those games I had wanted to get my hands on for a while, for a few reasons actually, and it has lived up to my expectations in each. To start with the game designer, Jeph Stahl is a Canadian.

It was a completely crazy week for people doing stupid things.

From May 28 until June 1, youth from Yorkton's Christ the Teacher Catholic School Division attended the 40th AMPO at Duck Mountain Provincial Park. Students got to experience canoeing, archery, firestarting and a host of outdoor skills.

In the past this space has been dedicated to how we get more people out attending events and doing things in the city. It remains a challenge without a lot of clear answers of how to achieve it.
