Recently, Saputo deepened its commitment to the Prairie provinces with the launch of not one, but two community projects designed to bring people together through sports, play, and the great outdoors. 

In Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the buzz around cricket just got louder! Thanks to a $25,000 contribution from Saputo’s Legacy Program, Forest Park now boasts two brand-new cricket batting cages, bringing the total setup to five and answering a rising demand for more cricket infrastructure in the city. The new cages offer players, from amateur juniors to adult league participants, a focused space to practice, sharpen their skills, and fuel the local – and growing – cricket scene!

Over in Minnedosa, Manitoba, near Saputo’s Brandon plant, another $25,000 investment from the Legacy Program helped bring the Squirrel Hills Trail Park to life. This multi-use, all-seasons recreation hub features a scenic trailhead, an expanded network of trails for walkers, runners, and bikers, as well as the new Saputo Nature Playground. Built to spark imagination and movement, the playground invites children to climb, explore, and immerse themselves in nature.

Both projects reflect Saputo’s ongoing effort to invest in lasting projects that support healthy, active lifestyles and strengthen connections within the communities it calls home.
