JRMCC Sports & Recreation would like to thank the Government of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Parks & Recreation Association (SPRA) for once again providing the Community Rink Affordability Grant (CRAG) in the amount of $2,500.00, essential financial support that will be used to offset our rink operations!
Thank you so much, to all the parents, Kohkoms and mushoms (grandparents) and Chapan’s, for bringing all the children and youth, to attending another memorable family event, to ring in 2024! We had 600 plus in attendance to celebrate the new year ahead!
Thank you so much, to all the organizers, workers, and volunteers, for all your help to pull everything together.
The delicious meal was catered by Cravings Late Night, the Horse sleigh rides were provided by Rivers North Ranch, we also had hotdog & marshmallow roast, live entertainment & DJ by Northwinds, balloon bust, face painting, door prizes, games, bus transportation, photo booth, family skate, decorations, fireworks, and so much more.
This family event was made possible by the generous support and sponsorship from:
La Ronge Band Councillors Charlene Venne, Ann Ratt, Sam Roberts, Dean Roberts
LLRIB Administration
Child and Family Services (CFS)
Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Center (JRMCC)
Men of the North
Town of La Ronge
Northern Village of Air Ronge
Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN).
Thank you to LLRIB member Hallie Parada for the equipment. Hallie, who is sponsored in part by JRMCC Sports & Recreation and is currently a member of the Weyburn Richardson Pioneer Gold Wings U18AAA team, decided to give back by doing her own equipment donation drive for local youth. This is another great example of sports building good people!
Our Elder’s Dinner & Bingo (and Supper) was another success. We paid out almost $2000.00 using only $1.00 3-up booklets. Thank you to Health Services’s Indian Residential School Program for providing the great meals (moose stew, bannock, fried moose meat, moose nose, smoked dry meat, fried fish, fish eggs and an assortment of desserts) and supper entertainment!
