YTC lends name to mill green space
Yorkton Tribal Council made a major donation Jan. 25 to support the Yorkton brick flour mill project. The donation of $100,000 will mean the green space surrounding the mill will be known as the Yorkton Tribal Council Gardens.
Chief Isabel O'Soup and many employees and volunteers of the YTC have invested their own time and labour over the past several years to rehabilitate the grounds surrounding the mill building.
