As part of a settlement agreement the City of North Battleford has reached with Minisapoy Café, the business located in the Battlefords Co-op Aquatic Centre will get the first chance to provide food and drinks for City events hosted at the CUplex, not including the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts or the Northland Power Curling Centre.
Monday, city council approved the signing of a letter of understanding to that effect.
The letter of understanding is part of a settlement agreement with the City over building deficiencies at the aquatic centre that go back to 2013. The settlement compensates the family-owned and operated café for revenue loss due to building deficiencies in the amount of $38,815, representing $35,815 by way of forgiveness of unpaid rental fees and $3,000 on execution of the agreement by the parties.
Minisapoy is the Plains Cree word meaning "juice or berry juice."
