Innovation Credit Union has stepped up to support the games with a $10,000 contribution and presented the cheque to the games at the local branch. On hand to make the presentation to games co-chairs Rob Rongve and David Schell and Friends of the Games co-chairs Keri and Brett Payne was Innovation Credit Union Chief Retail Officer Rosalie Payne and Regional Vice President Chad Gartner.

Chief Executive Office, Dan Johnson noted, “Innovation Credit Union is thrilled to be a Gold sponsor of the 2018 Saskatchewan Winter Games. The communities Innovation serves are the cornerstones of our organization. That’s why we strive to contribute in any way we can to local events, charities, sporting, and cultural organizations. North Battleford is known for its excellent winter facilities and strong volunteer base that is sure to make this year’s Saskatchewan Games one of the best yet. Thank you to all of the other sponsors able to contribute to sporting excellence in this province and a warm congratulations to all participating athletes.”

“It’s so great to see that local businesses are continuing to step up. This is a huge event for the area and its great companies like Innovation Credit Union that continue to support initiatives in the area that help to make this such a wonderful community to live and work in,” Rongve stated.

This isn’t the first time the Credit Union has invested in sport and recreation in the area. In 2010 Innovation Credit Union committed $1.5 million towards the construction of the CUplex which will house multiple sport competitions throughout the week of the games. The CUplex is known as an outstanding facility throughout the province and will be an active place for the duration of the Games. “With weightlifting, male and female curling, judo, gymnastics, badminton and synchronized swimming all happening at the facilities at the CUplex it will be a very busy and very exciting place to be!” stated Schell.

The 2018 Saskatchewan Winter Games will take place in the Battlefords from Feb. 18 to 24, 2018 and will feature 17 different sports.
