Saugeen First Nation businesses have made a number of donations to the new baseball diamonds and pow wow projects in the community.
Over the past number of weeks, The Highway donated $6,500, Riverside Remedies donated $6,000, Thomas John from Bud Barn 2.0 donated $5,000.
Saugeen First Nation Independent Business Association Coordinator Brittany Roote says upgrades include a new grandstand, new dugout covers, pitching bullpen areas and walking paths.
The baseball diamonds and pow wow grounds at Saugeen are located near the James Mason Recreation Centre.
Back in March, the campaign launch announcement stated, “these improvements reflect important needs identified by the community and represent a significant investment in the spaces where members gather, celebrate and engage in recreational activities. These shared spaces not only serve as venues for cultural and athletic events but also as central points that strengthen community connection, promote well-being and foster a sense of pride and belonging.
The fundraising campaign continues to help finance the work. For more information about how to make a donation, you can contact Roote at brittany.roote@saugeen.org.
