With the COVID-19 pandemic cancelling most local fundraisers, one such event in Shaunavon is getting some help from local residents.

Shaunavon Town Councillor, Kyle Bennett, heard about Shaunavon Minor Hockey not being able to hold their annual bottle drive this spring and he stepped up to help.

"At our last council meeting, fellow Councillor Shawn Lingenfelter, let me know that Minor Hockey was unable to do their bottle drive this year, which is a big fundraiser for Minor Hockey, due to the COVID-19. And I said well, ya know, we've run our Perk Up Our Parks Bottle Drop Project. Why don't I push that over to Minor Hockey."

Shaunavon and area residents who have bottles and cans that they would like to drop off for Minor Hockey, can leave the bags at the drop off spot located at 223 second avenue west.

100% of the proceeds from all bottles and cans collected will be donated to Shaunavon Minor Hockey.
