Battleford town councilor Judy Pruden announced during the Nov. 6 council meeting plans for a public skating event to take place at Battleford Arena on Sunday, Dec. 10.

The event, marketed as a free skate day, is one of many events that have taken place in town to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. At least 300 communities have confirmed participation in what will be a nation-wide event.

Pruden said she hopes the Battleford event will attract 300 people from town and the surrounding area.

Former NHLer Blair Atcheynum is scheduled for the event, and possibly former NHLer Gregg Sheppard. Some North Stars will be in attendance too.

Registration begins at 4 p.m. with the event lasting from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The event promises activities and refreshments.
