We are excited to announce that the Grand Coteau’s Canada Day fundraiser brunch raised $1,157.90 toward the taxidermy of the cougar specimen!! THANK YOU to everyone who came by to enjoy some pancakes and to support our Natural History Museum.

The Grand Coteau will be fundraising and accepting donations to help with the costs of taxidermy and mounting. See them for details at 440 Centre Street, Shauanvon.

Special thanks to all of the AMAZING volunteers, Jason and Corinne from the Town of Shaunavon, and the GCHCC staff for all of your help at the fundraiser brunch - it was so much fun to work with you all!! And of course, much appreciation to Rocky Mountain Equipment, who’s generous sponsorship helped to cover the costs of this event!
