Effective January third, the Town of Shaunavon has hired a new Director of Wellness and Leisure.

Dana Dale will be filling that position.

Dana is a native of the southwest, and her family farms in the Claydon area. She graduated from the Frontier High School and says when the Wellness and Leisure position opened up in Shaunavon, she knew she had to apply. "When I was in High School I always was really involved in sports as much as I could be. And then I went on and did University in Vancouver and I took Kinesiology just so I could stay kinda connected to sports in some way. So then when I saw this job come up I was pretty excited about it."

Chief Administrative Officer with the Town of Shaunavon, Tara Fritz, says they are very happy to have Dana join their team.

For the time being, the Recreation Office will remain at the Town Office. You can contact Dana there at 306-297-2605 or e mail her at recreation.shaunavon@sasktel.net
