Yorkton’s tourism director wants residents to get out and enjoy their own city on foot along with tourists.
Randy Goulden has planned several tours that showcase some of the city’s best amenities.
Randy’s Summer Tours of Yorkton kicks off July 10 at 7 p.m. from the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre with an historical walk around downtown led by Kathy Morrell.
“Tread through downtown streets and learn about Yorkton’s most important citizens: the Patrick boys and the Bronfman family,” stated a press release. “Learn about the tunnels and the buildings considered heritage properties. Look, listen and marvel at the city’s captivating history.”
On July 14, it is St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church that will be on display, with a special lecture about the dome painting of the heavenly coronation of the Virgin Mary starting at 2 p.m.
The other tours include Relaxation in Sonja’s Healing and Meditation Garden (July 20, 12 p.m.), Ravine Ecological Preserve Nature Walk (July 27, 10 a.m.), and Promise and Potential: Yorkton in the early 1900s (August 10, 5 p.m.).
