Funding Opportunities

Creative Kids is a charitable program that funds Saskatchewan children who want to take music and dance lessons, learn to paint or act, speak a family language, explore different cultures, find out about their heritage, study dinosaur bones or a join a number of other creative pursuits in their community. We fund arts, heritage, multicultural and Aboriginal activities for families facing financial barriers. Creative Kids provides financial assistance for children to participate in the same art and cultural activities as their peers, regardless of a family's social and financial barriers. We commonly fund activities such as music lessons, dance classes, museum camps, and art lessons, and families may apply to Creative Kids for up to $750 per child, per year to participate in creative activities. We believe every child should have an opportunity to participate in creative activities, which are fundamental to the positive growth and development of children and youth; and that cultural programming is critical to a healthy, vibrant community. www.creativekidssask.ca Tel: (306) 780-9469 Tel (Toll free): 1-855-277-9469

Yorkton KidSport KidSport™ is a children's charity dedicated to assisting children of families facing financial obstacles to participate in community sport programs.

We see it as equipping kids for life, because participation in organized sport and recreation increases a child's chance for success in life. They discover and participate. They gain self-confidence.

PASSIVE PARKS

ACTIVE PARKS

The City of Yorkton has a number of passive parks throughout the community. These park spaces do not have any playground or sport equipment and are designed to enhance the community through the beauty of green space.

The City of Yorkton has a number of active parks located throughout the city. The parks contain facilities for use by the entire city and visitors alike. Check our web-site for locations and park amenities.

Ball Diamonds JAYCEE BEACH DIAMONDS - Four regulation size softball diamonds each with a shale infield are located between Jaycee Beach Park and Gladstone Avenue North.

Disc Golf Course Yorkton’s first disc golf course opened in the spring of 2011. Designed by Joe Hunt and Wayne Harvey, disc golf is similar to regular golf. Instead of using golf clubs and balls aiming for a hole, players use golf discs and aim for a target basket. This target basket has a pole extending up from the ground with chains and a basket where the disc lands. The object of the game is to complete each hole in the fewest number of throws. Each hole begins at a tee area and finishes at the basket. For more information and to rent golf discs, call 306-786-1780.

Active Transportation Yorkton chooses Active Transportation to create a safe, healthy and connected community where we live, work, learn, and play! The term “Active Transportation” refers to any form of travel that is self-propelled, for example: walking, cycling, in-line skating, using a wheelchair, or riding a skateboard. Active Transportation also includes: cross-country skiing, canoeing, and kayaking. Numerous benefits to engaging in Active Transportation include: Social • Reduced vehicle maintenance costs, such as fuel, maintenance and insurance costs • Reduced vehicle traffic on the road, resulting in safer streets for everyone • Reduced incidence of cardiac disease as a result of physical activity • Increased overall physical health, which results in fewer sick days taken by employees • Reduced stress and increased emotional health, resulting in higher productivity in the workplace Economic • Reduced traffic congestion and wear on roads and other transportation infrastructure, which reduces the costs associated with repair and maintenance • Reduced health care costs associated with treating cardiac diseases, the incidence of which goes down with increased physical activity • Increased property value and retail sales along trails and in pedestrian friendly areas • • • •

Environmental Reduced greenhouse gas emissions Reduced toxic run-off and water pollution Reduced noise and air pollution

Think about the trips you make daily to go to work or school, or for leisure. Which ones can you make without a vehicle? For trips of 5 km or less, it is actually more efficient to use your bicycle. Tune your bicycle and invest in the proper clothing and footwear to make active transportation more enjoyable, comfortable and safer. Invest in a backpack or bicycle panniers and use active transportation to run errands or go shopping. Schedule days during your work week that you will use active transportation to get to work. Choose leisure activities that you can access using active transportation.

Getting Around Actively Everyday

Incorporate active transportation into family activities. Instead of driving to a park for a family outing, why not bicycle or walk? 5

Pioneer Ways & Bygone Days The tour book Pioneer Ways & Bygone Days, based on information from the records of the City of Yorkton Archives, provides a close-up look of the old town centre of Yorkton. It was made possible by a grant from the Saskatchewan Council for Archives & Archivists. Yorkton has a strong corporate history since 1882, having been settled under the leadership of the York Farmers’ Colonization Company of Toronto. Once the railway came to the new Yorkton site in 1891, it prospered quickly. This prosperity is evident in the remaining commercial buildings and the stories of the commercial bygone days. Folks are welcome to take the tour or to buy the book for an “arm-chair” visit. Cost - $10.00 including GST. For sale at: City Hall, Western Development Museum, Tourism Yorkton, and Frameworks.

Ravine Ecological Preserve The Ravine Ecological Preserve consist of a 1.7 mile (2.8 km) hiking trail that works its way through grassland, aquatic and aspen parkland habitat. With the help of many dedicated community volunteers, the park’s mandate is to preserve the natural integrity of the site for passive recreational pursuits and ecological education. Along the trail you will want to experience the boardwalk, which crosses over the water. From the boardwalk you will see several species of waterfowl and shorebirds. The boardwalk is a great hit with the kids. Throughout the aspen forest, song birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles make their home. Plants such as; saskatoon, chokecherry, hazelnut, twining honeysuckle and wood rose all present themselves to the hiker along the trail. At the arboretum, found in the south west corner, you will find species of ornamental trees and shrubs hardy to the Yorkton area. Take one hour out of your day and stroll along the trail and boardwalk. The park’s diversity of plants and animals will delight you. Remember to take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints behind.
