COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of people around the world, with over 50,000 confirmed cases in Canada alone. As the situation evolves, it continues to bring change to everyone’s daily life.

Canadian Sport Centre Saskatchewan (CSCS) understands these changes have been challenging for athletes, not only when it comes to training and competing, but also in day-to-day activities, including work, school and interaction with family and friends. CSCS staff and services are here to help and support you.

If you have questions or concerns about services you are eligible for during this time, please contact High Performance Manager Michelle Dezell .

Additionally, updates about the situation from the Canadian Sport Medicine Advisory Committee, including mental health, training and nutrition tips and general information, are posted weekly on our website .

Wellness Wednesdays

We want to know how you’re doing and give you the opportunity to virtually connect with your fellow Canadian Sport Centre Saskatchewan athletes in a safe and caring space, where you can network, support, learn and adapt together.

So we’ve created Wellness Wednesdays.

These sessions will take place bi-weekly with different presenters and cover a variety of topics, but they will all focus on helping athletes.

Resources for mental health

Maintaining mental health and wellness throughout unknown, stressful times is crucial. The National Game Plan website has multiple resources available for everyone, whether you are a Game Plan athlete or not.
