It is where our kids learn to skate or curl, learn important skills and life lessons such as teamwork and sportsmanship. Perhaps most importantly, they create lifelong friendships and cherished memories.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7319747\" data-originallang=\"en\">After a fire burned down the rink in Pense 30 years ago, people rallied and built its replacement in just 15 months. Recently, the arena needed upgrades. People may remember that Pense was up for the Kraft Hockeyville contest. They did not win, but that did not stop them. This small town was able to raise more than $500,000. This past weekend, I was honoured to attend the grand reopening.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7319748\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is exactly the kind of story that makes me proud to represent Pense and other communities across rural Saskatchewan.</p>",

C'est l\u00e0 que les enfants peuvent apprendre \u00e0 patiner ou \u00e0 jouer au curling, acqu\u00e9rir des le\u00e7ons de vie ainsi que des aptitudes importantes comme l'esprit d'\u00e9quipe et l'esprit sportif, mais surtout, d\u00e9velopper des amiti\u00e9s durables et vivre des exp\u00e9riences m\u00e9morables.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7319747\" data-originallang=\"en\">Apr\u00e8s l'incendie qui a d\u00e9truit l'ar\u00e9na de Pense, il y a 30 ans, les gens ont uni leurs efforts pour le reconstruire en seulement 15 mois. L'ar\u00e9na a d\u00fb \u00eatre r\u00e9nov\u00e9 r\u00e9cemment. Les gens se rappelleront peut-\u00eatre que la ville de Pense a particip\u00e9 au concours Kraft Hockeyville. Elle ne l'a pas remport\u00e9, mais cela n'a pas emp\u00each\u00e9 cette petite municipalit\u00e9 de recueillir plus de 500 000 $. Le week-end dernier, j'ai eu l'honneur d'assister \u00e0 la grande r\u00e9ouverture.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7319748\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 exactement le genre d'histoire qui me rend fier de repr\u00e9senter Pense et d'autres collectivit\u00e9s rurales de la Saskatchewan.</p>"
