Wilkie needs support for Kraft Heinz Project Play competition
For the second time in less than a year, a recreation facility in Wilkie will attempt to garner the national spotlight.
A group of local residents are hoping to garner enough nominations to be selected to win the TSN Kraft Heinz Project Play competition and a chance to win $250,000 in recreational facility upgrades. In March, the community was one of the top 10 communities in the Kraft Hockeyville competition and won $25,000 for arena upgrades at the SaskCan Community Centre.
“We’ve chosen the community swimming pool to be the benefactor because it needs upgrading,” Helen Urlacher of the bid committee said. “It’s a great facility as is but we know it can be better.”
The Wilkie swimming pool was built in 1949 at a price tag of $5,000.
