Sask Winter Games torch relay lights up North Battleford
The 2018 Saskatchewan Winter Games officially began Sunday evening as the torch relay lit up the streets of North Battleford.
Torch bearers Bill Samborski, Siobhan Gormley and Jill Martin-Ament, all former games alumni, proudly took turns carrying the flame from City Hall to the Civic Centre for the games opening ceremony.
North Battleford resident Samborski said he feels privileged to help carry the flame.
“There are so many people who could have done that,” he said. “I am happy to oblige… and to be part of that in what I call my hometown now of North Battleford.”
