Congratulations!!
Rocanville Recreation would like to congratulate Hailey Burke and Tristen Miller on
their successful participation in the Saskatchewan Summer Games
representing Rocanville on Team SouthEast!
“Golfing in the Summer Games was something that I will never forget. I cannot thank anyone else but my best friend
to push me to try out for the Games and I'm so glad I did. I met a lot of new people who play golf with the same mindset as I do; just going out and having fun. I loved meeting people in the athletes village and became closer with a few
people that I already knew. Our tournament was played using the Stableford scoring system, where we got points
based on if we got an eagle, birdie or par, and no points if we scored higher than seven. I could not have been happier
to end the games with a silver medal for our southeast junior girls golf team.”
Hallie Burke
"Running the 200m and Sprint Medley races in the Summer Games was a once in a lifetime experience. It showed me
a new level of competition that pushed me to persevere. I met lots of athletes who share the same passion as I. It was
fun watching so many talented young people
competing in their interest. Experiencing the Summer
Games with one of my best friends was the cherry on
top of such a memorable time!"

Rocanville Summer Program
The Kids of Rocanville were so lucky to have access to such a great program to keep them busy throughout the summer! Thank you to the Community Initiatives Fund, Saskatchewan Lotteries and Rocanville
Recreation Board for sponsoring the afterschool & Summer Program. The program was led and created
by Ivy Decorby. Ivy worked many hours, along with careful thought and consideration into making sure the program was not only fun but also
educational and included physical activity. Olivia Kelly was also employed at the program and added her own special touches, as well as her
musical background to the daily activities. The kids learned some food safety rules, cooking skills and customer service when they hosted two
business lunch fundraisers. They also realized that their hard work at these fundraisers enabled them to have an very fun summer program
and we want to thank all that supported these fundraisers buy purchasing or sponsoring! We had 100 orders for lunch and 92 orders for fruit
pizza! We had monetary and supply donations from PCS, Super Thrifty, The Thrift Store and many members of the community. There are way
too many names to list but we would like to send out a sincere thank you! The program also had tremendous support from the community
and the kids sure lit up with pride when they saw your enthusiasm and interest in them. Just as important as financial support, there were
many community members that volunteered time to take the kids on tours or host them for field trips.
T
Thank you so much! We also noticed these little people bring a lot of joy to the community members
when they are out and about doing these activities. We appreciate your support.
