Sport Award nominations now open

The Saskatchewan Sport Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of the province’s amateur athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions on sport participation in 2020, only the volunteer and coach dedication categories will be awarded. A total of six volunteers and four coaches will be virtually recognized in this 2020 version of the awards.

All Sask Sport active members (Provincial Sport Organizations) and affiliate members (Districts) can nominate one volunteer and one coach for their outstanding achievements, dedication and contributions to Saskatchewan amateur sport.

Complete details about the 2020 Saskatchewan Sport Awards program, including nomination criteria, nomination forms and contact information, are available on the Sask Sport website.

The nomination deadline is midnight on Dec. 20, 2020.

During this time, everyone is encouraged to be aware of stress and its impact on their personal mental health, as well as the mental health of loved ones. The Government of Saskatchewan has many mental health supports available on their website including:
