Rinks across the Province, including here in Humboldt, will benefit from a Community Rink Affordability Grant being offered by the Government of Saskatchewan.

The $1.7 million grant is entering its 5th year of the program.

In the 5 years the Province has organized this grant, a total over $6.4 million has been handed out.

The grant provides funding to Saskatchewan's community-owned indoor skating and Curling rinks.

Successful applicants receive a $2,500 dollar grant from the Province.

Humboldt's Elgar Petersen Arena is one of the many local rinks benefiting from the grant.
