Events - Colonsay

The Colonsay Swimming Pool committee would like to thank everyone for supporting the fantastic Midnight Swim!

45 swimmers and their families joined in the fun evening and so many more came out to enjoy the BBQ!

The 50/50 Rubber Duck draw winner was Waylon Walter, a very excited young man to hear about his winnings.

Raffle prize donations were from Woodbridge Vet, two baskets-one for cats and one for dogs, thank you very much for these great raffle prizes!

These were won by Liv Palm (dog basket) and Lorraine Johnston-MacKay (cat basket)

Two more raffle prizes donated by Drystone Naturals, the camping buckets and beach toys went to Waylon Walter and Warren Cooper.

A huge heartfelt thank you to the town staff for all the support, especially Nick, Becca, Makaila and Liv!

🐉✨ QR Riddle Hunt 2026 — A Dragon Rider’s Thanks

From high above Colonsay, my dragon and I watched brave adventurers roam the town, solve riddles, charm creatures, and discover the many wonderful places hidden in our community. The dragons, gargoyles, trolls, and leaf creatures all reported the same thing: it was a joy to see how much fun everyone had finding the QR signs and exploring each destination.

We proudly congratulate our champions:
1st Place — Sydney & Ryland Wall
2nd Place — Waylan Walters
3rd Place — Lorraine Johnston MacKay

And to everyone who joined the quest — thank you for bringing the magic to life.

Colonsay Communities in Bloom also extends heartfelt thanks to the Pool Committee and all who made the Midnight Swim such a success, and for welcoming our prize ceremony into the evening’s festivities.

We’re already whispering with the creatures about next year… a few new destinations, a few trickier riddles, and plenty more magic to discover.

Until then, the creatures will quietly await your return. 🐉✨

This was Natasha Englot's third season with the Valkyries (2019, 2025, 2026) and Shantel's second (2025, 2026) but Shantel previously played for the Regina Riot after her high school career. 

The Saskatoon Valkyries beat the Edmonton Arctic Pride 40-7 in the 2026 WWCFL final. 

Our community is proud to celebrate sisters Natasha Englot and Shantel Sabiston. They helped the Saskatoon Valkyries defeat Edmonton Arctic Pride 40-7 in the WWCFL final. This was the team's 6th straight and 11th all time Championship win.

How Colonsay shows up for each other!
Congratulations & Thank You!

A Good Thing That Happened This Summer!

This summer brought an unexpected challenge when heavy rains and roof leaks forced the Colonsay Reunion to move from the Sports Centre to the Community Hall. Thanks to good timing, the Hall was available — but the change meant the Recreation Board missed out on the rental revenue they normally rely on.

What happened next showed the best of Colonsay.

Even with the last‑minute venue change, the Reunion was a success. Funds raised covered all the event and hall costs, and — in an act of generosity that meant a great deal — organizer Janci Templeman donated $2,125.00 to the Colonsay Recreation Board.

At the same time, the Slo Pitch Tournament was in full swing, bringing together many of the same families and friends who later joined the Reunion. The Rec Board benefited not only from a strong tournament turnout, but also from Janci’s donation, which replaced the revenue they would have earned from renting the Sports Centre.

Despite the setbacks, the day became a reminder of how Colonsay shows up for each other. Two community events, happening at once, ended up supporting one another — and keeping our recreation programs strong for everyone.
