Earlier this year it was announced the emergency shelter operation of The Lighthouse Serving the Battlefords would have to close for lack of funding, however Metis Nation – Saskatchewan stepped in to keep the facility doors open for the time being. Now, the organization is seeking long-term financial stability in order to meet their mandate. The release issued Tuesday stated Liberty Athletics is creating a fundraiser event to honour the work being done at The Lighthouse. Liberty Athletics is a youth sport and recreation facility in North Battleford. The gym space is located at 771-109th Street and is offering programming at the gym, and the option of private rentals for family groups or other cohorts, as well as a long list of online opportunities as well as camps and clinics around the province.
