Albert Childcare Co-op playground fundraiser
The Albert Childcare Co-operative is looking to replace an ageing playground on the site of Albert Park beside the Albert Community Centre. While the playground is used by the Childcare Centre, the playground is open for everyone! The proposed playground would expand the space significantly and provide younger children with the “just right” challenge needed to continue to develop their social, gross, and sensory motor developmental needs. The expansion of the playground will fill a need in the community for accessible/safe play space for younger children.
Thank you for considering to contribute to a new playground in Nutana and Varsity View!

Building Saskatoon’s Sporting Future
Saskatoon is an active, competitive, sporting city. But more people want to play than there are facilities to accommodate them.
The Master Plan for the Gordie Howe Sports Complex will expand our city’s capacity and address real need in our community.
Maximizing the use of new and upgraded facilities, the Master Plan will increase access to safe, reliable facilities for multiple winter and summer sporting activities in Saskatoon and area, allowing many more people to participate.
The Master Plan includes indoor and outdoor training and playing facilities to accommodate development programs for multiple sports, enable year-round training, reduce game cancellations due to poor weather and help athletes of all ages and abilities excel here at home.
Over 175,000 people will benefit every year.
The Gordie Howe Sports Complex aims to become the premier sports park in Western Canada, and a magnet for more national and international events.
Be a part of Saskatoon’s sporting future — Join the team building a better place to play!

Recycle for VVCA
Do you like to collect pop cans and bottles for recycling? Do you like to donate to worthy causes?
Now you can do both! Drop off your recyclable containers at any Saskatoon SARCAN location and either tell them to put your refund toward “VVCA” or use the Drop & Go system with the group account “VVCA“. Your refund will be directed to VVCA and then used for community projects in our neighbourhood.
With Drop & Go there is no waiting in line. Just punch your account into the terminal, tag your bags with the sticky labels generated and then drop your bags off at the counter. Easy.
Drop & Go is a new service that SARCAN is offering at our larger depots in cities and towns across Saskatchewan. When the line gets long, Drop & Go is an easy way to drop off your containers without having to wait.

Join us on Sunday, September 10, 2017 from 1pm-4pm for the 3rd Annual Gold Walk in Saskatoon!!

We will walk a short walk through downtown Saskatoon, spreading awareness and fundraising for Childhood Cancer Canada!!
Cancer is the leading cause of disease related death for Canadian children, yet it receives only 3% of funding from the Canadian government. Change starts with awareness.
Start collecting your gold gear!! We will walk along 19th St, over the Broadway bridge and back to the Amphitheatre. We will wear our Gold clothing and hold Gold signs, spreading awareness of Childhood Cancer!! We will be raising money for Childhood Cancer Research through Childhood Cancer Canada. All proceeds from our event go directly to Childhood Cancer Research in Canada.

Big Plans Update
Albert Recreation Unit – 13th Street and Clarence Avenue
Big Plans for a Little Park
Changes are scheduled to begin this fall as the City of Saskatoon will be replacing four of the play structures. Funding for this part of the park rehab is courtesy of a federal Canada 150 grant. This will improve the park on both the north and south sides of the fenceline with the removal of the extremely well-used wooden play structures.
Fundraising continues towards further redevelopment of the park. Through various grants, fundraising events, and donations from residents we have raised well over $100,000. Thank you to all those who have helped support our neighbourhood project. To donate please visit https://nutana.ca/about-our-fundraising-for-the-albert-rec-unit/ .
The scope of further improvements, primarily on the south side of the fence, will be dictated by the total funds raised by early 2018. These further improvements include many features including more equipment, green landscaping and contouring, new play features, a riding/running loop, a tiny toboggan hill and a 3 on 3 basketball court. The current timeline is to complete all phases of construction before 2018 splash pool season. Thank you to Jim Siemens (Oxbow Architecture) and Chris Popplewell (Strata Developments) for their professional assistance.

Amazing Race – Lighthouse Edition
Event Date: September 22, 2017
Time: 1:00pm
Start at the Lighthouse, Rain or Shine
The Lighthouse Supported Living is an emergency shelter, supported living, and affordable housing provider in downtown Saskatoon.
The goal is to have a fun adventure race on foot with teams of two competing to raise big funds, beat the competition, and have a unique team building event. Mini-challenges around downtown Saskatoon will test your problem-solving skills with an after-party to celebrate!
We hope to raise $25,000 through sponsorship and team fundraising, with a goal of $500 raised per team.
Money raised will go towards our pilot Foot Care Program that aims to detect health issues before they become serious diseases, as well as providing homes and meals for those who have experienced or are at-risk of homelessness in Saskatoon.
Entry fee to race is $100 per team of two ($50 per person). Prizes will be awarded to the team who finishes first, as well as the team who raises the most funds for The Lighthouse.
