2021 SPRA Cecil Nobes Facility Award of Excellence
Watch the Award Video!
The Shellbrook Richardson Pioneer Recreation Centre was built in the 1970s by a group of community volunteers, and by the 2020s was beginning to show its age. The community united to raise nearly $2M to fund major upgrades, including a 100 KW solar voltaic array as a source of renewable energy. This remarkable project will ensure that the recreation centre continues to serve as an essential community gathering place for years to come. The SPRA Cecil Nobes Facility Award of Excellence is presented to a Saskatchewan municipality for construction of a new facility, or the retrofit or renovation project, where the unique or outstanding design contributes to the overall efficiency or accessibility of the facility operation.
Field of Dreams
The Field of Dreams is a fundraising effort that has been in place for approximately 20 years, organized and executed by local farmers and volunteers. This fundraising effort raises funds to help maintain the Richardson Pioneer Recreation Centre in Shellbrook, Saskatchewan. Approximately 150 acres of land owned by the Town of Shellbrook are seeded and harvested by passionate volunteers. The proceeds from this fundraiser are put into capital projects in our skating rink and curling rink facility. This fundraising project is incredibly important, as our facility is passionately loved and needed for Shellbrook and the surrounding area residents. Learn more about this project here.
The Field of Dreams fundraising effort has been handed over to the Parkland Pool Project beginning summer 2023 to assist the group with obtaining their goals of a new outdoor aquatic facility in Shellbrook.
