The contributions will benefit the five local community rinks & arenas selected by the makers of MARS® and will be used for the purpose of assisting and/or completing hockey related improvements or renovations at each location. 

"Loreburn is a small community with a population of 100 people, located in Central Saskatchewan. There are 3 towns that use the rink there, along Highway 19.This community loves the winter months at the rink and it has actually proven to be the “hub of entertainment” for those who visit. It’s the place where young and old come together to watch a great game of hockey and to catch up with old friends.This centre has recently undergone some improvements in the form of the addition of two new dressing rooms for its arena. This is only the beginning as the floors in these new rooms still need completion. As well, painting and the addition of stick racks and door closures would complete the renovated dressing room area.
This is a small but special community that comes together every time they are asked. Not only do they rally around big projects but also when benches need to be built or when ice care-taking needs arise. The community has proven over and over again how important this centre is to them."

Our friends in Loreburn were a huge part of the Elbow Community Park Build Day, and now we need to give back! So grab some Mars Bars, ENJOY and support our local rink!! Go Loreburn Go!!!
