RESIDENTS OF GRAYSON READY TO PLAY BALL

Released on June 30, 2005

It's "batter up!" in the village of Grayson as residents kick off the Canada Day long weekend by celebrating the official opening of their revitalized ball diamond. Diamond improvements were funded in 2004 through the province's Centenary Fund.

"It's fitting that in our Centennial year we are celebrating a ball diamond in Grayson. Whether meeting at the curling rink to sweep a few rocks or gathering at the diamond for a rousing game of ball, the spirit of our province is exemplified in small-town Saskatchewan," Government Relations Minister Len Taylor said. "We are committed to preserving that community spirit and our $4,000 investment in Grayson's ball diamond is one way of doing that."

Diamond improvements were cost-shared by the province and the village. The provincial grant helped fund the construction of fencing, a backstop and two new dugouts.

"Along with the Centenary Fund grant, the money for this project was raised by numerous volunteers and community groups," Grayson Mayor Neil Ottenbreit said. "From fundraising to construction work, these volunteers made the revitalization of our ball diamond a reality. The Village of Grayson appreciates their dedication to improving the quality of life in our community through this centenary project."

The Centenary Fund was established to help accelerate important projects leading up to Saskatchewan's 100th birthday. Between 2001 and 2004, over $17 million was provided for 40 municipal infrastructure projects and 35 northern infrastructure projects; 37 municipalities also received funding for para-transit vehicles.

Centenary projects funded were of a provincial or regional nature and focused on developing municipal infrastructure to leave a legacy of Saskatchewan's centennial for future generations.
