Celebrating Volunteer Spirit at 2026 Saskatchewan Winter Games

Hundreds of volunteers stepped up to support more than 1,500 young athletes who competed in the 2026 Saskatchewan Winter Games, which were held in Flying Dust First Nation and the City of Meadow Lake from February 15–21.

These volunteers played many important roles, including helping with logistics, competitions, ceremonies, and hospitality. Their hard work ensured a positive experience for athletes, families, and spectators. Their dedication reflected both the spirit of the Games and the spirit of Saskatchewan.

As the official Volunteer Sponsor of the 2026 Saskatchewan Winter Games, SaskEnergy played an important role in supporting the people who helped make the event possible. In addition to assisting with the volunteer drive and providing behind the scenes help to keep events running smoothly, SaskEnergy also provided lanyards to all the volunteers and athletes.

“The volunteers are truly the heartbeat of the Saskatchewan Winter Games,” says Allix Schweitzer, SaskEnergy’s Supervisor of Community Engagement. “Their energy, generosity, and commitment are what make moments like these possible for athletes from every corner of the province. SaskEnergy is incredibly proud to support the people who give so much of themselves to their communities.”

SaskEnergy has supported the Saskatchewan Winter Games for more than 20 years.

This year also marked the 25th anniversary of SaskEnergy’s Champion of Volunteers program. Since it began, the program has provided more than $2.4 million to non profit and charitable groups across the province. The program continues to celebrate volunteers — including the many who helped make the 2026 Games a success.
