Opening early next month, Yorkton will have its first shop for used sports gear available to the public when the Yorkton Sports Bank opens its doors the public on Sept. 6, said urban youth sport co-ordinator, Amber Zaharia. It will be in the basement at City Hall.
The Yorkton Sports Bank is looking for youth-sized equipment for all winter sports, especially hockey skates and equipment and figure skates. The Sports Bank will have a booth set up at this year's City Wide Registration on Aug. 31 at the Gallagher Centre Flexihall, she added.
The hours for drop off at the Flexihall will be 6-9 p.m., she said.

She said the Sports Bank is a partnership between the City of Yorkton and Kids Sport.
She said that the City Wide registration will be a good opportunity to add to the stock which is currently available at the City Hall, however, it's not available to the public until September she said.
They are hoping to accept as many donations as possible to bring back to the store's location. They are looking for sports gear in usable conditions.
Zaharia said the Sports Bank will hopefully help to assist those interested in taking part in the Learn to Skate events that the City holds at Kinsmen Arena each year, Zaharia added.
