The grand opening of the Oksana & Quinn Dutchyshen Memorial Splash Park took place Monday night in the campground area of the Gilbert Plains Country Club and it was very well attended.
James Manchur, the deputy reeve of the Gilbert Plains Municipality, the Dutchyshen family — who unveiled the sign — and Brad Michaleski, MLA for Dauphin, were all present at the event.
Board Member Kimberley Perih said that everyone on the board is extremely proud of what they accomplished.
"In the speech from the Deputy Reeve... he had mentioned that... [it was] pretty amazing that four people came together and raised over half-a-million dollars for the community for something like this," Perih said.
She also said that it was a great feeling to hear those words and to see all the kids having such a great time playing together at the splash park.
A video of the grand opening is available on Facebook.
