North Battleford Housing Authority has named the grand prize winners of the 2015 Yard Pride Contest.
NBHA organizes a yard pride contest every year to celebrate and encourage excellence in yard care, according to Operations Manager Cheryl Cook-Taylor.
“Many NBHA tenants have extremely well cared for yards and we like to acknowledge the extra time and effort they put into caring for their yards,” she said.
Monthly winners are selected throughout June, July and August and from those winners, grand prize winners are then selected. In total, winners share in more than $700 in prizes.
This year’s grand prize winners were Arlene Ahenakew, Janet Cook, Brandie Holliday, Jacqueline Russell and Troy Bugler and Jessy Pooyak.
“Yard care in North Battleford during the summer of 2015 was outstanding,” said Cook-Taylor. “In fact, it was a real challenge selecting our winners as so many of our tenants really excelled this year,” she said.
NBHA exists to ensure, on behalf of Saskatchewan Housing Corporation, that adequate, affordable, and well-maintained housing is accessible to all residents of North Battleford, according to a press release.
NBHA manages 519 rental units for families and senior citizens in North Battleford.
