Across Canada, June is recognized as National Indigenous History Month.

During this month, Sask Sport will be recognizing the rich sport history and athletic opportunities of Indigenous Peoples across the province.

Follow Sask Sport social media every Wednesday in June — including National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21 — for articles, resources, and information to celebrate Indigenous History Month through the eyes of sport.

Sask Sport is committed to encouraging and supporting sport environments that are fun, safe, healthy, diverse and inclusive.

Each Friday in June — which is proclaimed annually as Gender and Sexual Diversity Pride Month in Saskatchewan — we will share resources, information and stories to celebrate Pride Month through the eyes of sport.

The Canadian Sport Centre Saskatchewan is saddened to learn of the sudden passing of national wrestling team member Natasha Fox (nee Kramble).

Fox was one of Saskatchewan’s top amateur wrestlers for nearly two decades, dating back to 2006 when she won her first of three consecutive high school provincial championships while competing for Saskatoon’s Walter Murray Collegiate. 

"When it seemed like my life was crumbling out from under me when I got hurt, sport was what brought me back."

Cultural change is not as difficult as we may believe, and we all have the power to shift and strengthen the culture of our sport environments. Cultural change begins with understanding the mechanics of culture in organizations and the relationship between organizational climate, structures or artifacts, trust and engagement.

These are the mechanics of cultural change and tools and recourse for sports leaders and administrators looking to change the culture of their sport.
