The theme for the 2020 Communithon has been chosen. The theme, "THIS is the year...this is the year you perform, this is the year you volunteer, this is the year you give, THIS IS YOUR YEAR!" was submitted by Discover Weyburn's Marna McManus and Magic 103.5's Jessica Jack.

At this time, the Communithon committee is planning to host the 2020 Communithon on Friday, October 23rd at the Weyburn Royal Canadian Legion while remaining respectful of social distancing and COVID-19 restrictions. 

"We really felt that it spoke to a new year with Communithon, but a year that has been certainly challenging and different than anything we've seen before," said Communithon Chair, Wanda Miller. "A year and a half ago we really looked at how to take the Communithon and move it forward."

A change they are making in this year's planning process is to begin planning all year for the event, as opposed to closer to the date. This allows for more time for planning, and to fix any issues that may arise before the event.

The 11 Community Agencies for 2020 are Big Brothers Big Sisters Weyburn, Canadian Mental Health Association, Canadian Red Cross, Community Low Income Centre, CNIB Foundation, Envision Counselling and Support Centre, Inclusion Weyburn, Spinal Cord Injury Saskatchewan, Weyburn Care-a-Van, Weyburn Special Care Home Auxiliary, and Weyburn Youth Centre.

Communithon Chair, Wanda Miller urges those who plan to perform, volunteer, or participate to begin considering it now.
