Nestled in the heart of Saskatchewan, Viscount is a tiny village with a big heart. Our community, sustained by potash mining and farming, is known for its strong commitment to each other and especially to our children. Here in Viscount, it truly does take a community to raise our children and keep our programs running. One of the most cherished aspects of our community is our minor sports programs, which play a crucial role in shaping the lives of our young residents.
A Hub of Activity: The Heartbeat of Viscount
Our baseball diamonds and small-town rink are more than just sports facilities; they are the heartbeat of our village. These spaces are where our children learn the values of hard work, perseverance, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Families spend countless hours at these venues, cheering on their young athletes and building memories that will last a lifetime.
However, to continue providing these invaluable experiences for our children, we need to address the current state of our sports equipment and facilities. The quality of our equipment and the condition of our facilities are not just amenities but essential components that ensure our children’s safety, enjoyment, and development.
The Need for Upgrades
Our baseball diamonds and hockey rink have served us well over the years, but they are in need of significant upgrades. From worn-out baseball gloves and bats to outdated hockey gear and an aging rink, the current state of our equipment and facilities can no longer meet the demands of our enthusiastic young athletes.
- Baseball Diamonds: Our fields are where the magic happens every summer, but they need proper maintenance and modern equipment. Upgrading the diamonds, and safer, more durable equipment can enhance the playing experience and ensure our children’s safety.
- Hockey Rink: Hockey is a way of life in Viscount during the winter months. However, our rink is in need of renovations. Investing in upgraded boards, improved lighting, and bottle fill stations, we can make the rink a top-tier facility that enhances the experience for players and spectators alike.
- Equipment: Providing our young athletes with high-quality, safe equipment is a priority. Outfitting our baseball and hockey teams with the latest gear will give them the confidence to perform at their best and protect them from potential injuries.
A Community Effort
In Viscount, we understand that it takes a village to raise a child. Our community has always rallied together to support our children’s endeavours, and this time is no different. We are calling on everyone—families, local businesses, and supporters from near and far—to come together and help us achieve our goal of improving our sports programs.
