If you enjoy ball then you will want to head to the diamonds as they will be full of softball games all weekend, with 39 teams taking part in the Girls’ Prairie Softball League playoff weekend being held in Unity.

Divisions from U12, U14, U16 and U19 will all square off looking to capture the league title and as a final tune up before provincial play downs. The booth will be open and there will be plenty of room for fans in the stands or along the fences surrounding the diamonds. The location also includes a children’s park and is close to the swimming pool.

Congratulations to Brian Woytiuk, who was named 2018 Unity Citizen of the Year at the annual banquet held in conjunction with Unity Western Days. Brian has long been involved with Unity Western Days. He has also organized the Unity Fun Day of Golf in September, he was chair of the Unity Facilities Committee raising money for the new pool and ground floor hall and he volunteers with the Miners hockey club throughout the winter. There are probably dozens more entries on his resume, but he often contributes behind the scenes.

The weekly farmers market doesn’t just need shoppers, they need vendors. Last week’s event was a little down in numbers and they’d like to keep up the enthusiasm on both ends of the tables. The market runs every Thursday at the Adanac Hal on the museum grounds from 11 a.m.toÌý 4 p.m.

St. Peter’s School year-end mass and awards is Wednesday, June 27 beginning at 1 p.m.

Proficiency medals were awarded to Kyle Parker in Grade 10 with a 95.8 per cent average and Kabri Rutley from Grade 11 with 96.5 per cent. The Grade 12 proficiency medal is awarded at graduation. The leadership awards were presented to Emma Baker, junior girls, Adam Stifter, junior boys, Kennedy Mielke, senior girls and Adam Baker for senior boys.

Mr. Parker closed the program acknowledging the longtime commitments of Roxane Mamer and Pat Orobko to UCHS. Both are retiring in June.
