Live TSN SPORTSCENTRE Broadcast Set for TODAY at Kinsmen Water Park

Kate Beirness and Darren Dutchyshen to host.

The Save Our Summer, Save Our Slides committee and the City of Prince Albert would like to remind the public that they are invited to the Kinsmen Water Park for an afternoon of swimming, activities, entertainment and a live TSN SPORTSCENTRE broadcast on Wednesday, August 20, 2014.

As part of the Top 10 winning community finalists in the Kraft Celebration Tour, the Kinsmen Water Park will be presented with $25,000 during the broadcast which will be hosted by Kate Beirness and Darren Dutchyshen of TSN.

“We’re all so excited to return to Saskatchewan and present Prince Albert with $25,000 towards improvements to Kinsmen Water Park. Local pools, rinks, fields – that’s where we really come together and as someone that grew up in Porcupine Plain I know just how important building better places to play in our communities is,” said Darren Dutchyshen, Anchor, SportsCentre. “I can’t wait to put Prince Albert on a national stage when we do our live broadcast on Wednesday and give Canadians across our country a chance to see what this community is all about.”

The schedule of events for Wednesday, August 20 at the Kinsmen Water Park is as follows:

*All Activities are FREE of charge*

1:00p.m. – 7:00p.m. – Swimming

2:00p.m. – 4:00p.m. – Community Entertainment, Activity Tents, and a Barbeque sponsored by Kraft

4:00p.m. – 5:00p.m. – Live TSN SPORTSCENTRE Broadcast

Everyone who attends is encouraged to wear a local sports jersey or apparel that supports the city or the province and to bring a Kraft, TSN, and Save our Slides signs that can be displayed in the background during the live broadcast as a thank-you to the tour sponsors.

The live broadcast is the final stage of the Kraft Celebration tour and the last chance for nominated communities to show Kraft that they warrant the $100,000 grand prize. The winner of the grand prize will be announced on August 25, 2014.
