The next step to develop housing on Cameron Way in Yorkton has been taken. Mayor Mitch Hippsley states that there is a need for low to moderate cost housing in the city. If fully approved, 27 condos will be constructed. Meantime, the first Civic Recognition Award was handed out at Yorkton city council. Jason Boyda took the award in the adult category, as he was recognized for his work as a teacher, and as a coach for basketball and football.
“In the city of Yorkton there are so many outstanding citizens that give back to the community, and I’ve just been fortunate to be one who has been recognized. It means a lot to me, I feel very honored and privileged to receive the award.” Best known for football and basketball, Boyda will coach wherever he can and said it’s part of his goal to give back wherever he’s able. “[Sport] has given so much to my family and myself. It’s my small part of giving back, that’s what we’ve preached to our football players, to our basketball players, to our athletes. Once your playing career is done, give back to the community that has given so much to you, and pay it forward.”
