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.

Yorkton Tribal Council supports project
Socially-distanced Brick Mill volunteers, including Yorkton Tribal Council Chief Isabel O'Soup and others from YTC, got together on August 19 to rake the grounds at the brick mill in preparation for grass seeding, and to look after the flowers and trees already planted. Chief O'Soup made a presentation of $2,000 to the Brick Mill Society to support the preservation and development of the mill site. Accepting the contribution was Board Chair Vern Brown.
