Community Events
The community hosts a number of community events throughout the year for fundraising and entertainment purposes.
Poker Rally: Annually, the community holds the largest Poker Rally in Northern Saskatchewan, with cash and prizes exceeding $50,000.00. This major event is held to help fund the mortgage and operation of the Indoor Arena, which was constructed in 1999. This event attracts hundreds of visitors from Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta, including Robyn Regher of the Calgary Flames, in hopes of winning the Grand Prize of $20,000.00, and at $50.00/hand, players can win some great prizes. There are several scenic and historic sites along the snowmobile trail that visitors can enjoy; Nistowiak Falls, Historic Anglican Church, Trapper's cabin and trails that have been the travel routes for many aboriginal families for hundreds of years. Also with the hospitality of the hosts/hostesses; neck bones, wild meat, and hot dogs are available along the trail check points for visitors to enjoy, and it's free. This event takes place at the latter part of January, and next Rally will be advertised in this page.
