“Les told me that I should take the position and that was the beginning of him becoming a good friend and a mentor to me.”

It has been a meaningful adventure for Gorsalitz.

“I quickly learned a lot about fundraising at St. Thomas More College. It wasn’t too long into the job before I realized I had an inner calling to serve.”

Fundraising projects and roles come in different shapes and sizes. The volunteer commitment for Gorsalitz often includes board involvement.

“My joining the board of the Friendship Inn was a natural. As a boy, after watching a TV program about people starving in Africa, I boldly told my mother that when I grew up, I was going to fix some of those things. Years later, my association with St. Thomas More College led to teamwork with the Friendship Inn. I came on board and have stayed one way or another for the past 20 years.

“When Peter Zakreski was president of Friendship Inn, we embarked on a $1-million campaign, which we quickly raised to $2.5 million and completed within six months. It seemed like people just wanted to be asked.

Cremation does not limit your funeral choices.

Many people aren’t aware of all the choices they have for saying goodbye to loved ones.

Just because you’ve chosen cremation or burial, doesn’t limit your funeral options. You should create an event that meets your family’s emotional needs and allows for closure.

BLEED:

A number of things stood out.

I wasn’t sure I wanted to drive.

The first one was the safety features.

Ken Bone was one of those who We wore fire-retardant suits, and were talked me into it. He started racing when strapped into the car from all directions. he was 16 and is 58 now. He isn’t racing We wore a neck brace which would this season; instead he’s helping his son prevent a broken neck should things go Mitch get his career going. There are a horribly wrong.

faster you will get.”

He said the best part for him is the look on the faces of those who drove a car. There is a lot of smiling.

I told him readers would want to know my speed.

“You were probably doing somewhere around 80 to 90 kilometres an hour.”

I think he was being generous.

There is something beautiful about the sound of a race car. It is an amazing feeling when you step on the gas pedal and the engine cranks up a whole bunch of decibels.

It is hard to believe there can be 15 or more cars on the track at the same time.

Drivers, even the ones that finish at the back of the pack, are an amazing group of people. In every class of racing, the cars have the same horsepower. It comes down to setting up the car and driving it from there.

“Going down the straightaway they will all reach the same speed,” Bone said. “The difference is made up on how fast you enter the corner — how deep you can drive it in — and how fast you can get back on the throttle. When you come out of the corner and one car goes blowing by the other cars that’s because he has his car set up right and can get on the throttle faster than the other guys.”

I didn’t get on the throttle like those guys, but it sure was fun. Thank you to members of the Saskatoon Stock Car Racing Association for making it happen.

There are two race days remaining.

Sept. 22 is the Points Final Super Show and Sept. 23 is the Annual Ultimate Enduro. Start time on both days is 2 p.m.

Dancing in the Street Photographer finding niche in dance pictures Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express There’ll be laughing, singing and music playing Dancing in the Street.

T

hose popular lyrics could be part of the theme song for Tonya Wanner’s business.

Wanner, a photographer in the city for eight years, is finding a niche. She loves to take photos of, well, people dancing in the street and has added The YXE Dance Release to Tonya Wanner Photography.

“This sparked because it just killed me watching the dance photos that they would get every year — the posed, white background, washed out, not them dancing,” she said, referring to students of dance.

“I never wanted to purchase those. I wanted to start doing these dance photos of my daughters loving what they are doing — loving dance, having music being played and in clothes they love to wear, but just in different settings around the city.

“When I started doing this I thought, ‘Why am I am not offering this to other dancers, because I am sure if I feel this way there has to be other dance moms who feel this way?’”

She became more convinced it was a good idea when she did the photography at a hip hop dance competition last fall.

“I realized I really love to do these pictures way more than as a hobby or a side thing. It was in the spring when I started to get dancers out to see if it was something they want to do; something there is an interest in. Almost immediately dancers from all different dance studios from across the city were contacting me saying, ‘Yeah, I definitely want to do this.’

“I get them in their own element; they get to pick a place where they love to dance in the city and to wear what they want to wear. And everything is to music so it is very candid dance photography.”

She said there has been an added bonus.

Parents can watch. It’s a treat for parents who often only get to watch their daughters perform at competitions and year-end recitals.

This is freestyle.

“I’m finding that the parents are coming along now and they are sitting back and watching these sessions and they are like, ‘I’ve never seen my daughter dance like this before.’ They have never seen her open up and be so happy and dance the way she wants to dance and be in the element she wants to be in.”

The dancing can attract crowds as well.

“I get the dancers to give me their favourite music and songs and I pump their music on the streets. So wherever we are set up, wherever they are dancing, there’s music and it’s being played quite loudly. I’ve noticed it isCT091701 attracting a lot of attention. A lot of people Carol

would come around, ‘What’s this, what’s happening?’”

She said the dancers are often nervous, especially when a crowd gathers. Wanner reminds them that they can dance and it’s all about them. She tells them to close their eyes and just dance.

“They open up within seconds; they really do,” Wanner said.

“You can capture their expression in pictures because they’re just doing what they want to do. I think that’s the difference. You have old-style dance pictures; maybe they are composed great and they can hold a pose, especially for a professional, but it’s the expression on their faces that you don’t get.”

Wanner said she has photographed dancers as young as eight, all the way up to adult professionals.

“When I started this in the spring, I was expecting it to take about a year for dancers to kind of catch on and figure out what it is I’m doing. It definitely did not take a year; it was almost immediate. It’s been great.”

She said she is hoping to do more dance photography and maybe branch out into other areas.

“I’m hoping to have this as my main stream so I am hoping this is what I am

known for, ‘the Saskatoon dance photographer.’ I always said to myself, ‘I want to find my own niche and find out what makes me different than everybody else or why somebody would want to hire me over somebody else.’ And this just hit me almost overnight.

This is exactly what I want to be doing.”

“When I listened to stories of how people have to suffer the lack of dignity of not being able to use their bathrooms because they aren’t wheelchair accessible, my heart went out to them.

Karrnnel, a civil engineer and University of Saskatchewan alumnus, grew up playing in a family band with his sisters, Kimberly and Kanndece, and his father, Orest. He lived in Saskatchewan until moving to Toronto five years ago.

In December 2017, Karrnnel and Amy Matysio — an award winning actor born and raised in Regina — welcomed their first child, Jagger. Karrnnel continues to model occasionally after winning the Canadian Model and Talent Competition’s Male Model of the Year more than a decade ago.

Karrnnel’s Sept. 21 concert will start at 7:30 p.m. at the Broadway Theatre. Tickets are available online at broadwaytheatre.ca.

For more information about Karrnnel, go online to karrnnel.com. ***** Drum fans, this one’s for you: Grammy winner Terry Bozzio is coming to town.

Bozzio, who has spent the last 30 years performing solo drum music for sold-out audiences around the world, is currently on a tour of Canada and the U.S. Bozzio is known for his work with Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck, Korn, Mick Jagger, Robbie Robertson, Steve Vai, Quincy Jones and other high-profile groups and artists. In 2016, Rolling Stone published a list of the 100 greatest drummers of all time, putting Bozzio at No. 17.

Christie was born and raised in Saskatoon, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from the U of S in 1967, an honours degree in art in 1968 and a Bachelor of Education degree in 1970. Starting in 1969, he participated in a number of the famed Emma Lake artists’ workshops at the university’s Kenderdine campus at Emma Lake, Sask., later serving as a co-ordinator of some of the workshops in the 1980s.

Christie’s work has been presented at solo and group exhibitions nationally, and his work is part of private and public collections in Canada and other parts of the world. In 2003, he was elected to the Royal Academy of Art as a result of his prolific career and his contributions to his discipline. When Remai Modern opened in Saskatoon with much anticipation in 2017, one of Christie’s pieces was included in the museum’s inaugural exhibition, called Field Guide.

“It was a group show. I was very fortunate, I think, to be included,” said Christie.

Established in 1978, The Gallery/Art Placement, located on Third Avenue South in the historic Traveller’s Block Building, is the city’s longest-operating commercial art gallery. It was previously owned by Christie for 35 years.

Continuous Exploration is the second solo exhibition of Christie’s work since Nicholat took over the business five years ago. However, the latest exhibition is different from Christie’s previous show in 2015 because The Gallery/Art Placement is presenting it in the newly expanded space that the gallery moved into in 2016.

“With more room in the new space, this is the largest, most expansive exhibition of Robert Christie’s work that the gallery has ever presented,” said Nicholat.

Christie said many of the pieces included in his current show feature plywood of different thicknesses and acrylic. With the exception of a large piece that was created in 2016, all of the work is new.

Nicholat said the response has been “overwhelmingly positive” to Christie’s artwork.

“Robert obviously has a strong reputation and many supporters in the community given the length of his involvement. But even for those who might not be familiar with his work, the exhibition is a cohesive and visually powerful representation of his artistic vision, and people feel that impact when they walk into the space,” said Nicholat.

“The individual works are very strong and they really hit you when you see them.

Not in an aggressive way; it’s just that they have substance, a visual weight and presence that commands attention.”

Continuous Exploration will remain on display until Oct. 18. For more information about The Gallery/Art Placement, go online to artplacement.com.

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express n exhibition highlighting new work by a highly respected Saskatoon abstract artist is currently on display at a downtown gallery.

Continuous Exploration, which features paintings and painted constructions by Robert Christie, opened at The Gallery/Art Placement on Sept. 8. Christie, who studied art at the University of Saskatchewan under the tutelage of structurist Eli Bornstein and alongside sculptor Douglas Bentham, has been exploring abstract art in Saskatchewan for nearly 50 years.

“I come out of what’s called a formalist tradition,” said Christie, referring to a way of studying art that involves comparing and examining form and style. “The people I worked with as a student, my professors at the time, were quite traditional and I’ll say somewhat formalist.”

Christie, however, has been drawn to abstract art throughout his career. Still, he credits the repetition and formality in his art education and the quality of his instructors as paving the way for the unique and innovative work he produces today. Christie noted his friendship with one of Canada’s major abstract painters, William Perehudoff — who was born near Saskatoon in 1918 and died in 2013 — was a “big influence” on him, as Perehudoff worked “in this adventurous abstract way.”

Levi Nicholat, director and curator of The Gallery/Art Placement, described Christie’s recent works as a variety of paintings and painting constructions that could be loosely categorized as geometric abstraction. He said the works are both minimal and complex.

“They present clean, sharp edges and a modern, architectonic sensibility with reduced forms and monochromatic colour, combined with surfaces that are intensely worked, richly layered and luxuriously textured,” said Nicholat.

“Robert Christie’s career as an artist in Saskatoon has been long and distinguished, impacting the community and so many of the artists in it for decades. When I think about his art career, it’s always inseparable from the other roles and contributions he has made to Saskatoon’s art community — as an educator, gallerist, writer, curator and artist. Throughout these various roles, one of his most valuable contributions was that he always brought the perspective of the artist, which is quite rare,” he said.

“As an artist specifically, Robert has always demonstrated a level of dedication and commitment to his practice and his particular aesthetic principles and lines of inquiry that sets him apart. When you look at his production over the course of five decades, it’s obvious that he has a unique and powerful artistic vision that he has pursued with great conviction.”

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Chris Cuthbert is a class act

R

ob Vanstone of the Regina Leader-Post, on broadcaster Chris Cuthbert: “(His) presence at any event is a highlight. Whether he’s describing the golden goal or a junior A hockey game, he is the epitome of professionalism and class. When he visits Regina for a CFL telecast, he knows the name and affiliation of everyone in the local media.”

• It’s easy to be critical of TSN, but the job the network did in Humboldt last week was sensational. Cuthbert was a big part of it.

• Janice Hough, on Johnny Manziel wondering if the Montreal Alouettes have already lost faith in him: “If so, that would at least make Les Alouettes smarter than the Browns.”

• Jack Todd of the Montreal Gazette has a different take on it. “Wondering if the flu strain Manziel had is the same I’ve suffered a few times on a Monday: Hangoverius extremis.”

• I admit I’ve been hoping Antonio Pipkin has a bad game so we can see Johnny again.

• Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun, on teams that can win the Stanley Cup: Nashville, Winnipeg, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Boston, Toronto and Washington.

Steve wrote that before San Jose stole Erik Karlsson from Ottawa.

• Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli to the Edmonton Sun, on San Jose acquiring Karlsson: “I won’t lie, when he came to our division there was an expletive coming out of my mouth.” I wonder if it was the same expletive Oilers fans used when Chiarelli traded Taylor Hall to New Jersey.

• From the Twitter account @jockcartier: “The Sens are a Mardi Gras Night away from having me entirely convinced Eugene Melnyk is a secret Glieberman.”

• Bill Littlejohn, on Mychal Kendricks, who recently pleaded guilty to insider trading, signing with the

Seahawks: “So who’s his agent now, Gordon Gekko?”

• Torben Rolfsen, on Nike sales being up 31 per cent: “Of course they are.

People need to replace the shoes they burned.”

• Bette Midler, on the death of Amway founder Richard DeVos: “Eight people will carry his casket, but 16 more will have to carry them.”

• Congratulations to Donald Trump on reaching a milestone last week. He has made false or misleading claims 5,000 times since becoming president. Yes, there are people counting.

• Something I read somewhere online last week: “During the 1912 Olympics, a Japanese athlete abandoned the marathon but failed to notify officials.

They considered him missing until 1967, when they found out he was alive. His final time was listed as 54 years, eight months, six days and 8:32:20.3.” To put that into perspective it’s the length of time it takes Justin Smoak to go from first base to third base.

• Hough, on the mayor of a New Orleans suburb rescinding the city’s ban on Nike equipment and clothing after players on the Saints complained: “Good to know that even in times of prejudice there are priorities in Louisiana.”

• Author Jeff Pearlman lists former Rider Joey Walters as the 14th best player to play in the USFL. Pearlman’s top three are Sam Mills, Kelvin Bryant and Herschel Walker. Pearlman has a new book out on the USFL. It’s called Football for a Buck. I can’t wait to read it.

• I just finished reading Pearlman’s Boys Will Be Boys. It’s an inside look at the 1990’s Dallas Cowboys. To summarize it in two sentences: What a horrible group of people. The stories will shock you.

I DON’T WANT TO HAVE DINNER WITH HIS EX

Dear Lianne Thank you so much for introducing me to Rob. We are so happy and we both always say we need to pinch ourselves to make sure this is not just a beautiful dream. He is such an amazing man. As you know, his wife cheated on him and now has a new baby. She has moved on and so has he. I get along so well with his teenage children. We cook together and I often drop off and pick up his daughter from school. The kids have been through so much because

of what their mom did and I try and be as supportive as I can be. They now have this innocent little half sister. My issue is that Rob wants me to happily socialize with his ex and her new partner. There are family functions where he wants me to sit at the dinner table with her and her new family. She is not my friend and I will always be cordial but do I really have to socialize with her? – Paula Dear Paula, I am thrilled that you and Rob are so

happy. When relationships end, the couple can choose to maintain a mature, working relationship or be angry and enemies. Rob and his ex share two children. Eventually the children will likely have their own kids and the family will continue to grow. For the sake of the children it is always best to get along and show them that their parents have their best interest at heart.

His ex-wife actually gave you the best gift ever by setting Rob free. My thoughts are, if Rob is comfortable

with the family dynamics let him take the lead when it comes to socializing with them. Hold your head up high and attend the functions. You are doing this for Rob and the children. Time after time exes do have many things in common and can get along nicely. You were not a part of the demise of their marriage just the lucky recipient of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

Enjoy your relationship. You will see that everything will work out nicely and everyone will get along.

Pilon prepared for shot at pro hockey

Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express arrett Pilon is ready to venture toward new hockey horizons.

For the past three seasons, the 20-year-old Saskatoon product has been a standout in the WHL playing for both the Kamloops Blazers and Everett Silvertips.

In 207 career regular-season games split between both teams, the skilled right-winger piled up 69 goals and 123 assists.

Due to the fact he has signed a three-year NHL entry-level contract with the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals, Pilon has likely played his final game in the WHL. If Pilon doesn’t make the Capitals, odds are high that he will be assigned to the team’s AHL affiliate, the Pennsylvania-based Hershey Bears.

When it comes to cracking it in the professional ranks, Pilon already sees some similarities to when he first started out in the WHL. “It is just a new challenge that you are going to have to face,” said Pilon, who stands 5-foot-11 and weighs 190 pounds. “It is not going to come easy.

“It is a new thing. It is like when you came into the WHL you had to prove yourself. I think that is going to be a big thing.

“You haven’t really made anything until you are a seasoned NHL veteran.”

Capitals training camp is just underway.

The Saskatoon links won’t be far away as fellow Bridge City product Connor Hobbs is in that club’s system. Pilon said Hobbs’ presence will help ease the transition to camp with the Capitals.

“He makes you feel good,” said Pilon, who will be entering his third training camp with the Capitals. “He is a funny guy. When you go to camps and stuff, he makes you feel welcome.”

Looking back at his time in the WHL, Garrett Pilon is happy he finally got a long WHL playoff run in before his professional hockey days begin.

After spending two-and-a-half seasons with the Blazers, Pilon was dealt in a blockbuster trade to the Everett Silvertips on

G

T

Jan. 7. The Silvertips were loading up for a possible long post-season run, and the acquisition of the talented right-winger helped strengthen their forward unit.

He collected career highs in goals (34) and assists (46), appearing in 69 regularseason games split between the Blazers and Silvertips.

In the playoffs, Pilon helped the Silvertips advance to the WHL championship series for the second time in team history. The last appearance came when the club concluded its inaugural season in May 2004.

Everett ultimately fell in its second appearance in the league finals last May, dropping a best-of-seven series 4-2 to the Swift Current Broncos.

“I think that it has been a cool thing with just the whole run and everything,” said Pilon, who hadn’t been past the first round of the WHL post season until this year. “I’ve never experienced this personally.”

As Everett won the Western Conference title before falling to Swift Current in the league final, Pilon was the Silvertips leading scorer in the post-season recording 11 goals and 17 assists in 22 games.

The appearance in the league final helped bring Pilon back to Saskatchewan. Pilon’s family and friends were able to make it to the games in Swift Current including his father, Rich, who played defence for 14 seasons in the NHL with the New York Islanders, New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues.

“I think it was nice to get back to the Sask. roots and have my family come out just to be able to play in front of them,” said Pilon. “I think coming from Saskatchewan there are always deep roots with hockey and wanting to make it to the big leagues.”

Pilon believes he is ready for the challenge of professional hockey thanks to his experiences in the WHL. With the Blazers, Pilon skated under the direction of head coach Don Hay, who is the all-time leader in regular-season coaching victories in the WHL. Hay is now an assistant coach with the Portland Winterhawks.

“When I was a young guy, (Hay) was real supportive of me and just kind of helping

(Photo by Darren Steinke) show the way of how to play in the WHL and what kind of works and what doesn’t,” said Pilon. “He is a great person, and he is a great coach as well.”

Pilon has enjoyed the time he has spent playing for Silvertips head coach Dennis Williams.

“With Willy (Dennis Williams), he brought a fresh kind of face to Everett,” said Pilon, who was selected in the third round and 87th overall in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft by the Capitals. “They were always kind of known as a defensive sort of team, and he brought in sort of an offensive side to it in a way.

“It was exciting to come play and to be able to have that creativity but also to be able to be kept honest in a way with your defensive side as well. You can score three points, but if you are not playing good defensively it is not going to be good enough.”

Besides those coaches, Pilon said his father has been an invaluable resource in

Blades hire Humboldt player

he Saskatoon Blades have hired 18-year-old Xavier Labelle as a hockey operations assistant. Labelle is a surviving member of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash and is continuing his rehabilitation here.

Following the accident, Labelle spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital recovering from his injuries which included a fractured skull and concussion, internal bleeding, approximately 20 broken bones (including 13 in his spine), plus nerve damage affecting his legs and left arm.

Labelle, who spent the last two seasons with the Humboldt Broncos, is familiar with the Blades organization TA091704 Tammy having been on the

team’s 50-man list and attending training camp in 2014, 2015, and 2016.

“I just started thinking about the boy and what we could do for him, and how we could help him,” Blades general manager Colin Priestner said in a news release. “His parents were kind enough to let me come see him in the hospital just to show him our support and I told him we wanted to make him a Blade. At that time, we weren’t exactly certain in what capacity, but as the summer went on and he started to progress, we discussed the different opportunities, where his comfort level was, and it became quite clear he wanted to remain involved in the hockey operations.”

helping him in the sport.

“He has been there my whole hockey career,” said Pilon. “He has been taking me to rinks early in the morning. He has been getting me ice. He has been getting me skill sessions.

“He has been the biggest part of my hockey career, and it has been huge to have him by my side and be able to help develop me. I attribute all my success to the way he has pushed me throughout my life.”

If Pilon goes on to have a lengthy career in the NHL, he said it would be due to his development in the WHL ranks.

“They are trying to produce pro players,” said Pilon. “I think winning teams produce that as well.

“Individual success is huge, but if you win as a team that is a big thing.”

Labelle graduated from high school at Ecole Canadienne-Francaise in Saskatoon at the end of June, and joined the Blades hockey operations staff prior to training camp in August.

“Colin came to see me when I was still in the hospital and asked me if I would be interested in helping out the team for the upcoming season,” Labelle said in the release. “Of course I jumped at the opportunity. I thought it would be great to remain involved in the game. I never really thought about coaching but being here Labelle will also have a role in the around the staff and seeing what goes into Blades’ pre-game tribute to the Humboldt this side of a team, it’s definitely piqued Broncos prior to the home opener on Sept. my interest.”

Friends of the Bowl grew into large project

The Traffic and Chief Mistawasis bridges were completed on time and on budget.

New bridges to open on Oct. 2-3

T

wo special events are being planned for Oct. 2 to commemorate the completion of the City of Saskatoon’s largest ever infrastructure project.

In just days, the Bridging to Tomorrow project, which includes the Chief Mistawasis Bridge, McOrmond Drive and Central Avenue extensions, and the new Traffic Bridge will be completed on time and on budget.

“The city is grateful for the strong partnerships we have with the Government of Canada, the Government of Saskatchewan, and Graham Commuter Partners on this project,” Dan Willems, acting general manager of corporate performance, said in a news release. “All of this new infrastructure will shorten commute times, offer more transportation options for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, and help grow the economy, all of which improve our quality of life.”

Events will focus on the theme of community and bridging together citizens in celebration. At the Chief Mistawasis Bridge, a morning celebration will include a grand entry with local Indigenous leaders, residential school survivors, and city and government

officials. Citizens will be invited to walk around and explore the bridge for the entire morning.

Beginning at noon, a more informal event will be held on the deck of the new Traffic Bridge. The event will start with a bridge walk that will include citizens, local community leaders, school children, and walking, cycling and running groups.

It will begin on both ends of the bridge and meet in the middle in a celebration of community. Citizens are invited to bring their own lunch to the new Traffic Bridge or purchase their lunch from food truck vendors that will be set up on the deck.

The Traffic Bridge Party will include local cultural entertainment and history and information about the Bridging to Tomorrow project will be on display.

Chief Mistawasis Bridge, McOrmond Drive and Central Avenue extensions will open to vehicular traffic later in the day. The Traffic Bridge will open to vehicular traffic on Oct. 3.

(Continued from page 1) bono work for their various fundraising initiatives.

“A cornerstone of their efforts is the annual Fill the Plate year-end event where we ask donors to feed up to 1,000 people each day for a $5,000 donation. Africa may seem a bit far away, but like most things in life, you need to start at home first.”

There was a high degree of excitement, too, when the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon, under the leadership of Bishop Albert LeGatt, decided in 2007 to consider building a new cathedral.

“At first, I was nervous about the challenge. But I subscribed to the philosophy of what was I going to do for the greater good. For a year and a half, I went to church meetings throughout the diocese almost every night, right up until midnight, but it was important to engage the whole 76 parishes in our campaign.

“The engagement was so critical, especially from the volunteers and the donors. It was a time of great satisfaction for those who heard the message. In the end, we raised $24 million and gave the diocese a magnificent cathedral and a multitude of services and facilities.”

By 2010, Gorsalitz was ready to take the plunge with the company that carries his name.

One of DCG’s longest clients, the Friends of the Bowl Foundation, is a campaign that turned into a double-barrelled project.

The first phase was the renovation of the football stadium, a $20-million investment to help the City of Saskatoon substantially improve the park. Included in the remake were new turf, a clubhouse and seating. The changes gave the park a big-league appearance.

The Friends of the Bowl launched its first campaign in 2013 and even as the football facilities were taking shape, the foundation and donors saw growth opportunities for other sports, bringing the overall goal to $62 million. The vision expanded to become the Gordie Howe Sports Complex.

New features will include an international standard track and field complex, cross-country ski facilities, a multi-sports operations centre, outdoor multi-purpose turf, an indoor high-performance training centre, turf practice fields for softball and baseball, and a home for the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame.

Upgraded facilities to the project will include the international speed skating complex, upgrades to all of the baseball and softball diamonds and additional parking for all locations.

After the master plan is complete, the complex will be selfsustainable, with revenues covering all daily operations, estimated at $1.25 million. As well, the complex will create significant local, provincial and national economic spin-offs with its ability to attract national and international events that Saskatoon has not had the capacity to host in the past.

DCG builds relationships with donors who often support multiple projects. Throwing its support behind both the Gordie Howe Sports Complex and the new Merlis Belsher hockey rink at the University of Saskatchewan was the 1989 Jeux Canada Summer Games Foundation, making a $500,000 donation in both cases.

DCG has worked on other recreational facilities throughout Saskatchewan. In 2015, it led a $20-million campaign to enable the Saskatchewan Roughriders to build their own training facility and ticket offices within the new Mosaic Stadium.

Gorsalitz credits his parents for not only his belief system, but his love of sports and culture. His parents, Harold and Clara, came out of small-town Saskatchewan (Humboldt and Prelate) where Construction they learned the value of hard work andStarting volunteerism.Soon Harold played on the same junior hockey team, the Humboldt Indians, as Glenn Hall, who later became one of the NHL’s most fabled goalies.

Gorsalitz has lived in Saskatoon most of his life. He and his wife, Caroline, have been married for 35 years and are the parents of Katherine, a physician in North Battleford; Anne, an architect in Edmonton; and 17-year-old twins, Thomas and Elizabeth, who attend St. Joseph’s High School.

“Our company’s work and campaign success comes down to matching the interests of donors and the needs of the charities they wish to support. We have been inspired by their needs, and as a company, we hold dear to the principle that we must personally give as well,” said Gorsalitz.

322 Saguenay “We get to meet extraordinary people who Drive inspire us every day.

We are so fortunate to call many of our province’s philanthropists and volunteers our good friends. Together, we all get to see the fruits of our labour.”
