Willow Bunch Recreation & Wellness Program

June 2026

The Willow Bunch Recreation & Wellness Program has now been serving the community for a full year. The Recreation Director position has been funded for two years through Sask Parks and Recreation Association, Jean Louis Legare Regional Park, the Willow Bunch Rec Board, the RM of Willow Bunch #42, and the Town of Willow Bunch. We’re fortunate to have this support and even more fortunate that Nicole Cochrane, with her enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and friendly personality, has taken on the role. Returning to her roots in Willow Bunch, Nicole brings years of experience working with children and in schools, helping to create, plan, organize, and run programs for all ages tailored to the needs of our community.

This past year brought its share of challenges, but also plenty of learning opportunities, meaningful moments, and lasting connections.

Programs offered over the past year include:

• Yoga
• Youth Programming
• Senior Programming
• Cornhole
• Meals on Wheels
• Creative Workshops: Mabel & Martha’s & Adult Sushi Class
• Junior Chef Program
• Cribbage Nights

Thanks to the generous contributions from the Community Initiatives Fund (CIF) and the Saskatchewan Parks & Recreation Association (SPRA), these programs have been possible, and we’re incredibly grateful for their support.

A big thank-you to everyone for the encouragement, participation, and community spirit. It takes teamwork to keep building opportunities, connections, and wellness for ourselves and our community. Here’s to another fantastic year ahead!
