The Kinsmen Club of Yorkton surprised a local town with a donation to help them with a massive upcoming project.
The club donated $50,000 to the Town of Canora to replace their current swimming pool.
Aaron Herriges, the director of leisure services with the Town of Canora, said the donation was completely unexpected.
鈥淚 found out a little bit about the support that the Kinsman get from the people of Canora,鈥 he said. 鈥淚 guess we are a huge supporter, and the $50,000 donation from the Kinsmen is just a great example of their commitment to giving back to the communities for supporting them.鈥
Herriges said that the money would be put towards the estimated $2 million swimming pool replacement project.
鈥淲e are going to replace the existing poo with a new park on the existing site,鈥 he said. 鈥淲e have in the place is a lap pool, which is a four-lane 82-foot long junior Olympic length. It鈥檚 also joined with a leisure pool with a zero-entry entrance. It has splash and sprays features, it鈥檚 got a waterslide complex which houses two large waterslides, ones 53 feet long, and one is a 130-foot slide.鈥
鈥淚t鈥檚 got a little bit of something for everybody. The accessibility part of it is really great for people with mobility issues. We are finally going to have something that people have an easier time getting into, and we will have lots of kids and families,鈥 Herriges continued. 鈥淲e are going to have some green space, and we are also attaching it to a new pool service building as well.鈥
