Anderson Pump House Ltd. has made a $5,000 donation to Action Battlefords, a chamber-led initiative to improve public safety and improve the image of North Battleford,
Anderson Pump House says it has made the donation to promote North Battleford as a good place to live and to move to.
Vice-president Ron Forman moved to the city from the Vancouver area a few years ago.
“It’s a fantastic place to live, despite what a statistic might say about the crime level here,” said Forman. “I believe this is a great community to live in and to raise my family in, and nothing would drag us away from here.”
The latest infusion of funds is slated to go towards Action Battlefords’ summer youth initiatives, and towards hiring a co-ordinator who will help stage events aimed at youth. In the works is a youth event that would include participation from a band from Saskatoon as well as the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
