Lakeland District Board of Directors |
|
Thank You!
The Lakeland District for Sport, Culture and Recreation is a volunteer based non-profit organization. The Board of Directors are responsible for developing the Mission, Vision and Values of the organization. They set the policies and procedures that govern the organization and develop the strategic plan that guides the Lakeland District in what we do.
Our Board members also play a significant role in providing guidance to the LDSCR staff by contributing to our culture, strategic focus, effectiveness, and financial sustainability, as well as serving as ambassadors and advocates for sport, culture and recreation.
Volunteers are one of our most valuable assets and we would like to thank the LDSCR Board of Directors for their continued involvement, dedication and support.

October 2023 Update
Barry Brezden
Greetings Lakeland Residents! Now that “Back to School” is in full swing, many events and activities for all ages are taking place, including at the Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association. Feel free to check us out through the ssfa.ca website, on our Facebook page, or simply by looking for our weekly ads in the Rural Roots newspaper courtesy of the Prince Albert Daily Herald.
We are currently having or have had many exciting events that were enjoyed by both hosts and participants alike. Our goal is to continue with “fun” events throughout the coming months, anything from soup to nuts with anything in between. We are looking for anyone eighteen years of age or older to become members, participants or maybe even a member at large of the executive committee.
Our association is also reminding all card holders to look online for the many business sponsors we have, they are all offering a huge amount of savings or discounts. Even if you do not wish to participate in any planned activities, you can benefit from membership just by “stopping in” to take advantage of many savings.
Once again, please feel free to check us out via our website or our Facebook page. As I said before, you will be surprised at what you see. The bottom line is you cannot possibly lose!
