COMING EVENTS

Please note that coming events are placed where space is available and that priority is given to local non- profit groups and organizations.

THE WINTER WONDERLAND BALL, planned for Dec. 31 by The Jobransa Foundation for Children, has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Further information is available by calling 306-693-0500. VOLTAGE INFORMATION We are hoping to once again pack out the Voltage venue with hundreds of youth who are having a blast and staying safe and sober instead of the many other negative party options that are out there on New Year’s Eve. We have an art room, spa, karaoke contest, two Virtual Reality gaming systems, video game tournaments and a mini movie theatre. Youth can take on their friends with Sumo Tricycle Joust, Gladiator Games on the inflatables, or they can try the, “Sword In The Stone” Escape Room. All new this year we have, “9 Square in the Air”, “Gaga Ball” and “Clash of Clans Live” where the entire main auditorium becomes an epic medieval battle including Catapults and Archery Tag. There are contests, competitions, and great prizes like a Nintendo Switch, a 50-inch Smart TV, a Canon Rebel SL1 Camera for the Voltage Photo Contest, or how about your very own lifesize suit of Medieval armour. Back by popular demand, Voltage is proud to present 8-time GMA Award winning band, “The Color”, live in concert. Youth also get to meet (and even hold) a live Peregrine Falcon named, “Ahsoka”. Advance tickets for Voltage- “The Quest”, are $20 and are available at Joe’s Place, Steady Goods, John’s Music and Hillcrest Church. For more details go to voltage-sk.com. A huge thanks to Conexus our title sponsor and all of our many other amazing supporters.
