The City of Weyburn only has one off leash dog park and that park is now under the management of the Weyburn Kinsmen Club. To celebrate this change the Kinsmen Club is holding a BBQ.

"That's going to happen on September 9th," says Adrian Prybylski, Vice President of the Weyburn Kinsmen Club. "We'll be serving food from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and PetValu will be giving away some prizes and stuff."

The BBQ is free by donation and will be held at the dog park on 1st Avenue N.W.

"The funds will be going to the dog park itself," says Prybylski. "The proceeds will be staying in town and mostly going to the dog park."

To keep the dog park in good shape there is some maintenance that needs to be done so the funds will help with that.

"A part of taking over the park will actually be unveiling a new sign that basically says we are the managers of it," says Prybylski.

Dogs and owners are welcome to come and support the canine community.
