SASKATCHEWAN — After two weeks of online voting and days of counting, BASF announced that Saskatchewan’s winner of the Growing Home with BASF program is Line 19 Childcare Centre.
Line 19 Childcare Centre, based out of Elbow, will receive a $25,000 donation to be used towards the construction of the facility, which will serve families from Elbow, Loreburn, Stongfield, Hawarden, Mistusinne and surrounding rural areas.
“We are incredibly excited to be selected as the BASF Growing Home Grant recipient for 2026. The voting process was not only fun, but it also brought meaningful awareness to our project, with our community rallying behind us. This support means so much to our team. The $25,000 prize will help accelerate the construction of our new 48-space licensed childcare centre. Our centre will be a modern facility designed to provide safe, reliable, and affordable care for families in our region. We are forever grateful to BASF for investing in communities like ours,” said the centre’s board.
The other finalists in Saskatchewan were the Villa Marie Assisted Living Board in Macklin and the Town of Pense Beautification Committee. The Villa Marie placed second, winning $10,000, and the Town of Pense will receive $5,000.
Growing Home with BASF is one of BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada’s cornerstone giving programs designed to strengthen the communities that are the heartbeat of Canadian agriculture. Each year, BASF invites its grower and retail customers to nominate organizations that are making a meaningful impact in their communities for a chance to bring home a portion of the $160,000 prize fund.
In 2026, an outstanding 572 nominations were received. From those submissions, 12 finalists were selected across the four participating provinces and advanced to the public voting phase, giving Canadians the opportunity to help choose the winners.
