2020 may have been a ho-hum year for a lot of people due to COVID-19, but the Yorkton Business Improvement District was kept busy.
Executive director Donna Brothwell says the pandemic did create challenges. “With COVID limiting the events and things that we could attend, we had to find another way and we did, with our YBID chats and our Facebook posting,” she said, adding one big highlight was the reverse Santa Clause Parade, which helped raise money and food donations for the Salvation Army.
YBID also released their year-end report for 2020, which included a lot of donations made to local organizations.

It’s getting quite the buzz, people are so excited, Outlaw Riders coach Anna Martin says. It’s something to do, people can even just stand in their front window and wave. The team is comprised of 10 riders aged 10 to 17 who train together to perform choreographed routines on horseback to music, sometimes in the dark. The riders and their horses will be dressed up with lights to walk through Barnhartvale neighbourhoods Dec. 19.
