The MD of Greenview council has approved a $2,000 sponsorship to the Peace Area Motor Sports Association.
The sponsorship comes in support of a racing event PAMSA will host at the Hythe Motor Speedway from August 30th to September 1st of this year.
According to the MD, the sponsorship was an easy choice as the event serves as a significant tourism driver for the region, attracting racers and crew members from all over Canada, including around 50 participants and their families from the MD itself.
The track is described as “one of the premier motorsport ovals in Western Canada,” featuring a 3/8-mile high banked track complete with a grandstand, concession, media tower, and a small dirt track for lawn mower and kids races.
The $2,000 funding boost comes from the MD’s 2024 Community Services Donations and Sponsorships budget.
