Weyburn Rotary Club donating to local organizations

Weyburn area groups receive charitable gaming grants

The Gladmar Recreation Board will receive $913.98, and the Midale M.O.R.E. 2000 organization will get $401.92. The Pangman Catholic Women’s League will receive $298.50, and the Radville Community Grown Childcare Inc. will get $835. “Charitable gaming grants enhance the fundraising efforts of many volunteer organizations by supporting worthwhile community initiatives in the areas of health care, education and recreation,” Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Jim Reiter said. “We appreciate the efforts of volunteers in their communities and are pleased to provide them with this additional funding.” The charitable gaming grant program supports groups and organizations that conduct charitable gaming including licensed bingos, raffles, break-open tickets, Texas Hold em poker and Monte Carlo events.

Some tidbits of history

When the golf course was established in 1919, there was no such thing as Highway 39, and the only access was by going south on Highway 35 and then on a dirt road over to the golf course. The Soo Line Highway, later known as Highway 39, was built in 1929 from Weyburn to Halbrite. As this was the year the stock market crashed, in October, and the Great Depression began, the request for funding for a bridge across the Souris for the golf course to have an access road wasn’t met with enthusiasm, as you might imagine, and a bridge wasn’t put in until three years later, 1932. The RM provided a large culvert, and the access road was able to open.
