The Town of Battleford has put the building formerly known as the Hillcrest Centre up for sale.
Located at 112 - 24th St. W., the seniors’ recreation centre closed at the end of March.
The Pensioners and Senior Citizens Branch No. 126 notified the Town earlier this year that it would be turning the building over to the town “due to the fact that the members are not able to take on any responsibilities as they are elderly."
Hillcrest Centre dates back to the time of the late Mayor Alex Dillabough, well known as an advocate for Battleford’s seniors.
The agreement that was signed with the Town at that time, circa 1976, stated that when the group was no longer able to operate the centre, the assets would be turned over to the Town.
The Town has advertised the building for sale on an “as is where is” basis, with a minimum reserved bid price of $150,000 plus GST.
They will be accepting proposals for purchase and have reserved the right to reject or accept any bid.
Details on the request for proposal can be obtained from Town Hall by phoning 306-937-6200. The deadline for proposals to be submitted is 2 p.m. Aug. 12.
