BATTLEFORD - It is sure to be a Happy Halloween for students at Battleford Central School.
On Wednesday, students at the school were accepting 16 boxes worth of Halloween treats courtesy of Karam Gill and Harwinder Batth, proprietors of Petro-Canada in Battleford and North Battleford.
The two are new to the area and have been looking at ways to give back to the community.
Former Councillor Gordon Yarde helped to connect them with the school and encouraged them both to get involved in community activities.
“I took over the business last year,” said Gill. “I came to Battleford and Gordon was the first person who got me introduced into community work… It feels good to give something back to the community especially when you are getting all the business out the community. So we’ll keep on doing it and I will try my best to be engaged in the community as much as I can.”
The donation is enough to provide treats to 400 students. They are also planning a similar gift to 50 school staff as well.
