Due to changes in the recycling program Loraas is no longer accepting plastic film products. Plastic film includes: plastic grocery bags, ziploc bags, saran wrap, plastic garbage bags, bread bags or bubble wrap. There is one exception: all shredded paper must be in a plastic bag and tied. No glass is accepted in recycle bins outside the city of Saskatoon.
Again in 2017 and early 2018 Kenaston Lions and Superdraft have contributed to recreation and culture in our community. Another regular season draft was completed and we just wrapped up entries for the NHL Playoff Draft. The funds from the drafts and the Farmland Initiative continue to be used to enhance and maintain our facilities for all to use.
Thank you to the community members who volunteered answering phones during the recent draft. Your efforts are important to make this project manageable. Volunteers are the foundation of community! Thank you to the local folks who entered the draft. We wish you all good luck.
Superdraft continues to support Saskatchewan hospital funds, Wish Foundation, Diabetes, CNIB, Guide Dogs and other local initiatives. Contact a local Lion if you are interested in membership
