Prairie Central AGM
The Prairie Central District Annual General Meeting was held in the Heritage Room of the Watrous Civic Centre on Wednesday, May 29th. Prior to the meeting some of the participants met at the beautiful Green Acres Greenhouse for a CiB workshop followed by a volunteer presentation by our Community Consultant, Aileen Martin. Then it was supper and the AGM. Community success stories were presented by Sandra Epp and Chris Moffatt from Manitou Beach, Angie Reddekopp from Martensville and Carol Schultz from Strasbourg. The District welcomes Cora Fischer as a new Board of Director and thanks to Terry Leibel, director since 2014 . It was a fun afternoon, great supper and wonderful to have all those in attendance.

Schools - Take the Lead!®
Prairie Central District in partnership with the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association are looking for schools that are interested in: Take the Lead!®

Take the Lead!® is a program focused on fostering leadership skills in youth aged 11-14. Our youth know how to play best! Utilizing Take the Lead!® resources and training, youth can practice leading active play opportunities, providing more physical activity opportunities for their peers. Because of Take the Lead!® training, we are confident that these same youth will later draw upon these skills as they reinvest in our communities.
Program Outcomes:
  • Youth leaders (ages 11 – 14) demonstrate leadership qualities and self-confidence
  • Children are physically active for a minimum of 30 minutes per day in the school environment, to help achieve the goal of 60-90 minutes of physical activity per day
  • There are safe active play areas for children
  • Increased time dedicated to active, fun play during school recess, noon hour and the after school time period
  • Strengthened capacity of schools and communities to support physical activity for children
Contact Bonnie Wohlberg, Community Consultant at bonnie.pcdscr@sasktel.net to start the conversation on how we can work together to get this program in your school. Click here for more information.
