"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!!!

National Action Campaign...

The Let Them Be Kids National Action Campaign is based on belief that regular people can change their world for the better and that the people closest to the challenges are the best resource to improve those challenges. 

So if our belief is true, why is it that so often things don’t change for the better? Simply put… a lack of hope. It is a lack of the belief that tomorrow can be better than yesterday and a lack of that hope turning into tangible action. 

We have set out to do something about that "lack of hope"! We believe that with the proper amount of hope, knowledge, tools and support, regular people can change their world ,and the world around them for the better.

We know that hope is created when we hear or see someone else do something that we thought was implausible, improbable or seemingly impossible. However, hearing or seeing someone else do something awesome only creates a “spark” of hope which is often extinguished in the first few moments or days of seeing or hearing. The grind of life can and often does snuff out the embers of hope. Those embers must be kindled in some way. We believe that kindling can come through information and education. When we learn how those people did that seemingly improbable thing, then we have a chance to do it as well. Regrettably, this is still not enough to take that spark of hope and create tangible action. The final step to taking that spark of hope and translating it into meaningful improvement is support. When we are supported with guidance, advice or just a listening ear, the spark of hope that was kindled with knowledge turns into a raging fire! It is that raging fire of equipped and supported hope that changes things for the better. 

The most beautiful thing about this cycle is that it self-perpetuates and impacts exponentially. As this cycle of hope is completed someone else hears of the implausible or improbable thing that has been done and if those hearers are equipped with knowledge and supported in their endeavor they too will do the seemingly impossible! Our plan is to take our Hope Strategy and deploy it across Canada to help make the world a better place.
