Social activities like cards, shuffleboard, billiards and entertainment will start again and will be announced to members around restrictions due to the pandemic.

The New Horizons Centre has an AED Defibrillator on the premises and an Electrostatic Cleaner for Sanitizing.

Activities vary and are supported through grants from Sask Lotteries, and include out of town bus trips to spas, RCMP museum in Regina, tickets for the train excursion from Cudworth to Wakaw, local school plays, Barn Theatre, MAP memberships and entertainment at the Centre.

The Affinity Credit Union Grant has been instrumental in providing funds for improvements, including recent purchases of chairs for the Centre, a commercial dishwasher and this year, a commercial stove.

MARTENSVILLE FREE PANTRY

The Martensville Free Pantry is a community-based organization aimed at helping those challenged with food security. Starting as a simple donation drop-off point in 2016, The goal for the Pantry is to help place food, hygiene, and other items for people to access as anonymously as possible. From a single shelf in the Civic Centre hallway, the Free Pantry now has a dedicated space at the Civic Centre where donations can be dropped off, organized, and accessed by clients. The Free Pantry works with residents, businesses, schools, sports teams and other community organizations around food drives and has a dedicated group of volunteers that have provided an important service to the community.

To donate, volunteer or learn more about supporting the Free Pantry you can visit them at Room #2 at the Civic Centre or visit them on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ martensvillefreepantry/.
