In the fall of 2017, McLurg High School kindly let the Sask In Motion team, with Wilkie In Motion team leader Helen Urlacher, hold an all-day symposium for the students and staff of the high school. In turn, Sask In Motion donated $500 to McLurg High School with $250 each going to the High School Wrestling team and the Student Lead Council. Pictured here are, left to right, Brinlee Miller, Meagan Sutherland, Principal Greg Mamer, Wilkie In Motion Team Leader Helen Urlacher, teacher and wrestling coach Chris Kent, Korlie Huber, Jonathon Huber and Jordan Rohs. The school was pleased to hold the symposium and receive the donation. Let’s get physical! Photo submitted by Helen Urlacher

Although only logging just over 20,000 minutes of physical activity in the recent Go Out and Play Challenge, Wilkie and area really shone bright! Great work, everyone!

In the beginning of February, Marnie Sinclair, Community Mobilization Manager of Saskatchewan In Motion, came to Wilkie to meet with the Wilkie In Motion Committee. Along with Marnie came a new addition to the Saskatchewan In Motion Team in Regina, Julia Frigault. Julia joins the Saskatchewan In Motion team and comes from Ontario. We are glad to have her aboard!

Wilkie in Motion are reviewing surveys done at Norman Carter Elementary and McLurg High School and those filled out by residents. With the participation of McLurg High School and hosting the symposium in late fall and taking part in the Focus Groups, Saskatchewan In Motion donated $250 to the Student Lead Council and $250 to the Wrestling Club at the high school.

Spring is almost here. Soon the snow will be melting showing us all the signs of renewal all around us. This is the time that Wilkie In Motion can and will be implementing more programs and activities in the Wilkie community – an exciting time. We are still looking for active members in the community to join our committee. Please email Team Leader, Helen Urlacher at hellcat1976@outlook.com. Come join our team and help Wilkie and area be more active more often! Let’s get physical!
