The 2022 Saskatchewan Sport Awards are back and in-person on Jan. 26 in Saskatoon, but if you can't make it to the gala, you can still celebrate the best of the Saskatchewan amateur sport community by watching the event live on YouTube at 7:30 p.m.

The Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) is officially accepting applications for the 2023-24 Paralympic Sport Development Fund, in support of sport organizations across Canada offering quality Para sport initiatives. 

The Paralympic Sport Development Fund provides grants for local sport organizations, clubs and programs that help athletes along their development pathway, including for items like recruitment initiatives, coaching, equipment, competition and more.

Funds can be used to support the creation of a new program or the expansion of an existing successful initiative.

The Saskatchewan Winter Games are coming to Regina from Feb. 19-25, 2023 for the first time and they need volunteers to make the event a success.

The Games will require the assistance of approximately 1,000 volunteers throughout the week-long event. Every volunteer is important from helping at athlete's village to acting as a minor official at a sport competition to assisting with the setup and tear down of venues. All these efforts contribute to a successful Games experience for the over 1,500 young athletes.

There are roles for all ages, abilities and accessibilities, including opportunities for youth aged 13-17 to volunteer as well.

Calling all Saskatchewan athletes aged 14-25!

A Dorintosh couple walked away with a cool $1 million windfall after they matched all seven winning numbers to one of the MAXMILLIONS prizes drawn on the Nov. 25 LOTTO MAX draw. Shawn and Barb Heaver matched the winning numbers – 4, 15, 30, 32, 35, 37, and 45.

Shawn was in Battleford – at the Discovery Co-Op Battleford Square at 81 Battleford Crossing, to be precise – on Nov. 25 when he decided to pick up their ticket for the draw later that evening.

The Heavers discovered their win over a month later when Barb took their tickets to a nearby store and handed them to the cashier. Barb had no idea what was about to happen next.

“You won $10,000!” the very excited cashier told her. “No, wait... you won $1 million!”

Self-compassion can be a valuable internal resource for women athletes as they navigate the challenges of competitive sport. Self-compassion is related to greater goal progress and effective use of coping strategies, and it benefits the physiological response to stress.

In this blog, Sport Information Recourse Centre contributors from the University of Saskatchewan provide an overview of the benefits of cultivating self-compassion for women athletes and how our research is building on past knowledge.
