Rotary Club of Saskatoon at Louis Riel Days.
The club was involved with CFQC's Louis Riel Day celebration throughout the 1970's and 80's; the day long celebration featured a multi stage relay race in which teams had to compete in running , horseback riding and canoe paddling disciplines. Portable stages, showcasing local talent, provided free entertainment for the large crowds that attended the event.
Two refreshment tents were operated as a fundraiser by Rotarians and their wives on the river bank in
The profits generated were not large ($1,500-$2,000) relative to the 'man hours' expended, however, the fellowship and camaraderie that club members experienced, made the endeavour well worth the effort.
