Yorkton Lions donated $50,000.00 to help with the construction of the Community Clubhouse at Century Field. The clubhouse, which is now completed has change rooms for both the home and visiting teams, bathrooms for those playing and watching the games or other activities taking place on the field, the track or the soccer fields and has been well used for a number of events since opening.
