A massive THANK YOU to everyone who joined us this past weekend for the 2026 Optimist Hill Gala! ✨
To our amazing guests, sponsors, donors, and our incredible volunteers who gave their time to make the evening such a smooth success—your support blew us away. A huge shoutout also goes to our Optimist Club and the dedicated Optimist Hill Board of Directors for their continued leadership, vision, and tireless commitment to our community.
Many people don't realize that Optimist Hill is operated by a registered non-profit! As a Designated Municipal Project with zero annual government operating funding, we rely entirely on community champions like you. The funds raised at the gala go directly toward keeping the hill running, employing over 50 local full- and part-time staff each season, and ensuring winter sports stay accessible and affordable for the 11,000+ youth, families, and community groups who visit us every year.
We couldn’t keep the lifts spinning without all of you. Thank you for showing up for Saskatoon and helping us gear up for an unforgettable 2026/2027 season! 🏂❄️
