History
On January 2, 1979 Moose Jaw city council (Mayor Herb E. Taylor) appointed a committee to plan the 1980 celebrations in Moose Jaw for the 75th anniversary of Saskatchewan as a province. The committee consisted of Jan Sorochan, S.H. (Hub) Gutheridge and A.E. Peacock. Members added to the committee were Mrs. Nan Buchbach, Peggy Pequin, Mary Carty, Cliff Christensen, John McConville, Jerry Kaiser, Deane Hoover, Hugh Colwell, Joseph Karner, Leonard Biden, Penny Tonita, Russ McKnight, and Linda Boudreau. In October 1979 Louis H. (Scoop) Lewry was appointed chairman. The provincial government was extending grants to the city to be distributed among organizations for the celebration of the anniversary. The committee called for representations from organizations for the allocation of the grant money. 41 applications were received. 32 grant requests were approved by the committee and funds were distributed. Before the committee disbanded in 1981, any funds remaining were donated to the Moose Jaw United Way.
