The 2018 games inch closer and North Battleford's bid to host them are making the final rounds. 

Director of Leisure in North Battleford, Bill Samborski, says they are one of two finalists.

“It is with great excitement to inform you that the final selection is down to two communities, North Battleford and Lloydminster.”

The Saskatchewan Games Council selection committee will be in town Feb 10 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to tour the venues. They will also be touring the Athletes Village. 

Samborski says having polished facilities is just one part of the making this bid a reality.

"A big part of the committee’s final decision will be based on the community’s enthusiasm and support.”

North Battleford wants the Winter Games is the slogan. The city invites everyone to attend a pep rally at the CUplex Feb 10 at 9:45 a.m. and again at noon to 1:30 p.m.
