Many people may not be aware, but the North Battleford Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in the library building has had some financial troubles of late. Cutbacks from the provincial and municipal governments have taken a toll, but fortunately the local Elks Club has come to the rescue with a substantial donation.
In the photo, members of the North Battleford Elks are seen presenting a $1,000 donation to keep the North Battleford Sports Hall of Fame and Museum open, with Exalted Ruler Cliff Garret shown presenting the cheque to Don Hilsendeger, museum curator.
The donation allows the museum to keep the doors open for another few months. More money will be needed, however, and any and all donations are appreciated.
