I wanted to inform everyone that the wonderful little village of Shields placed 2nd in the Go Out and Play challenge this year and won $5000 towards the sport court project!
What a wonderful accomplishment for our community and a big congratulations to everyone who put in the time and energy to make this possible!
I highly encourage everyone to get out and continue walking. Social distancing doesn’t mean you can’t leave your house and get some well needed fresh air. The mental and physical health of ourselves needs to be kept.
Thank you all for the support with this challenge and I look forward to the building of the court soon to come!

Sport Court Committee Chair
Update: February 28th
Go Out and Play begins March 1-10th. Create your profile on the website – https://challenge.saskatchewan
If you would like daily reminders please contact me and I will do it!
We also still need people to recruit others to join in. The only way we win is by getting other to help our village out.
Walking group 730-830 pm nightly to meet at the cove cafe.
Good luck to us all!

*************
Saskatchewan Blue Cross and Saskatchewan in motion have challenged communities across the province to go out and play for a chance to win $10,000. Shields has accepted the challenge, and we’re going to win!
The community that moves most during the 10-day Saskatchewan Blue Cross Go Out & Play Challenge wins the $10,000 grand prize or $5,000 second place. We’ll use the grand prize money for the final fundraising needed for the sport court!
