Pool committee vies for prize
The new Davidson Swimming Pool committee has a chance to win $50,000 towards the construction of the new pool if they can garner enough votes from community members.
It was announced at the Roughriders game this past Saturday that an application to fund health and wellness initiatives in their community from Swimming Pool committee members Laura Williams and Brenna Siroski has made it into the top eight and they now have the opportunity to take home one of three prizes from Richardson Pioneer Rider Nation Community Celebration. The top three finalists would be announced at the Riders’ Sept. 14 home game and be mentioned during the half-time show.
In order to make it into the top three, people have to vote for the Swimming Pool bid online at www.101greycupfestival.ca and they can cast their vote daily. The winning community would receive $50,000 and the two runner-ups will get $25,000 each.
The three winning communities will also be awarded $10,000 each to host a Grey Cup Festival party that Richardson would be bringing to the communities.
“Its up to the fans to determine who the top three (are) and eventually (who) the grand prize winner will be,” said contest volunteer committee chair Craig Fiske.
New Davidson Swimming Pool committee member Jesse Foster said they are really excited over this announcement and happy to show people how to vote if anyone has any questions. She said Davidson would be profiled on CBC, CTV, Harvard Broadcasting and in The Leader Post as part of the contest.
“However the rest is up to us,” said Foster. “The community with the most votes wins.”
The Pool committee invites everyone to visit the Grey Cup Festival website and vote for their community of choice.
