In 2024, the Victoria Trail Agricultural Society (VTAS) resurfaced our facility in Waskatenau, which houses the VTAS Indoor Arena and VTAS Fitness Centre, to ensure its longevity for future generations.
Richardson Pioneer generously supported our resurfacing project by being a gold sponsor! This is one of many instances Richardson Pioneer has supported VTAS and our local community, and we are grateful for their contributions.
We reached out to the local team to learn more about Richardson Pioneer.
