Members of the Young Fellows Club presented a donation of $10,000 to the Weyburn Therapeutic Animal Park on Wednesday evening.
From left to right are, from the park board, treasurer Carley Istace, secretary Angie Braat and vice-president Melanie Ror, and from the Young Fellows Club, Ross Weiss, newly-elected president Rob Stephanson, Kurtis Schwindt, Chad Ror and Ray Jarvis.
The funds will go towards their major project for this year to put up new fencing at the park, located across the road from the Tatagwa View long-term care centre.
The park board received confirmation that they will be allowed to open in Phase 4 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan.
On their Facebook page, the board stated, “Although we are still unsure of the specifics of what this will entail, we are extremely excited to be able to open at all this season!”
The park cannot run without volunteers and they are always looking for more people to join their team! They are in need of volunteers for park clean up (booking one ASAP), daily chores (very flexible schedule, requires about one hour commitment either morning or evening) and odd jobs around the park (lawn maintenance, tree removal, handyman jobs, etc.)
Message the park through their Facebook page (at “Weyburn Therapeutic Animal Park Inc.”) if you are interested in joining their team or helping them get some of the odd jobs done.
