The Saskcan Community Centre is at the heart of Wilkie’s recreational and social life. With facilities that cater to a wide range of activities, the centre is a hub for both sports enthusiasts and community events. Whether you’re here for a hockey game, a curling match, or a special event, the Saskcan Community Centre is the place where memories are made.

Solar Power Upgrade Project

In December 2021, the Town of Wilkie proudly celebrated the completion of a significant solar power upgrade to the Saskcan Community Centre. This $353,000 project, funded through the combined efforts of federal, provincial, and local governments, marks a major step forward in sustainability for our community.

Construction began in August 2021, involving the installation of approximately 500 solar panels on the rooftop of the community centre. These panels now provide a substantial portion of the electricity required to power the centre, including its two rinks, which are used for hockey and curling, as well as the hall that hosts various community events.

This project not only reduces the operating costs of the facility but also minimizes its environmental impact, aligning with our commitment to sustainability. The Government of Canada contributed over $141,000, while the Government of Saskatchewan invested more than $117,000. The remaining funds were provided by the Town of Wilkie.

Community Impact

The Saskcan Community Centre is a key venue in Wilkie, offering a space for residents and visitors to gather, celebrate, and engage in recreational activities. The solar power upgrade is an example of how our community is working towards a more sustainable future while ensuring that the centre remains a vibrant and essential part of Wilkie life.

As stated by local and national leaders, this project not only supports our environmental goals but also enhances the quality of life for Wilkie residents. By reducing energy costs, the community centre can continue to operate efficiently and remain a place where positive, lasting memories are created.
