Grain Bin Course

May 2, 2020 - May 3, 2020

Battlefords Agricultural Society is excited to host the Grain Bin Rescue Course Technician 1 to be held on the Exhibition Grounds Agrivilla Building on May 2nd and 3rd, 2020.

The mission of the program is to provide education and training earning the course certification after 2 days. This is an extremely important program as we are primarily an Agricultural Community and we ecourage all fire figthers in the area to attend.

We will be inviting firefighters to take the course in the Battlefords and surrounding rural areas. As most are volunteer firefighters we are inviting you to sponsor a firefighter in the amount of $150 which covers the cost of one person.

Other sponsorships we are asking for is meal or food or general sponsors as they will be fed lunch each day. This is a cost to the Battlefords Agricultural Society and with community minded sponsors as yourselves we are hoping to cover the expense of providing the course.

All sponsorship will be greatly appreciated. As a sponsor you will be recognized during our Grain Bin Rescue Technician Course as well be listed as a sponsor on our website and facebook. A TAX RECEIPT will be issued. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to give Rhonda Erickson a call at 306.441.9364. We look forward to your sponsorship of this very important training.

You may call Jocelyn Ritchie at 306.445.2024 or Rhonda Erickson at 306.441.9364 with any questions
