The $1.33M rent reduction comes from what the club owed during seasons impacted by the pandemic.
As massive wildfires forced thousands of people to flee Northern Saskatchewan in the summer of 2015, a Hall Lake man was out deliberately setting blazes.
The provincial government announced Friday that Donald Halkett, 22, pleaded guilty in La Ronge Provincial Court to a criminal charge of mischief, as well as a Wildfire Act charge of failing to comply with a fire ban.
He admitted to flicking lit matches into the bush as he walked along a trail near Hall Lake on July 4, 2015.
Halkett’s actions forced crews to respond to blazes started at four different locations, according to a news release from the province.
Halkett got a six month conditional sentence on the mischief charge, with conditions including a curfew, not to consume or possess alcohol, 100 hours of community service and a $100 surcharge.
He was also fined $250 for starting a fire during a fire ban and ordered to pay $41,392.83 to cover firefighting costs.
Hall Lake is about 100 kilometres west of La Ronge.
