What is Dream Broker all about? . . . The Dream Broker connects inner-city youth and
their families with a sport, recreational or cultural activity. She can support participation
in various sport, culture or recreation activities by helping with registration costs,
transportation, equipment or just by being a cheerleader on the sidelines when a family
member is unable to attend.

COVID-Update: The Dream Broker is currently working only at St. Mary’s School in
North Battleford. The Dream Broker is always on the lookout for new kit ideas for
students to work on at school or at home. If you have any information please feel free to
share with Antje by emailing rwdscr.yc@sasktel.net

If you are interested or need any information please contact Antje 306-
480-9875 or on her FB page.
