New Dates Announced for Sask Winter Games in Regina

REGINA, SK – The Saskatchewan Games Council and the Regina Host Organizing Committee are pleased to announce that the Saskatchewan Winter Games originally scheduled for February 20-26, 2022 will now be held in 2023! A decision not to proceed with the February 2022 Games was made under the advice of the Saskatchewan Health Authority due to COVID-19 and rising cases of the Omicron variant. Our decision was made to prioritize the health and safety of participants, and all involved.

After consultation with Provincial Sport Organizations (PSO) and the Districts for Sport, Culture and Recreation, the Games will be held February 19-25, 2023. The Games will feature competition for young athletes in 17 winter sports. All sports that were originally included on the 2022 sport calendar have committed to participate in 2023.

2023 will be the 25th Saskatchewan Games. We will celebrate 50 years of providing exciting and memorable experiences for hundreds of young athletes from every corner of our province. The Games will bring fans and spectators to Regina from across the province for this weeklong event creating an estimated economic impact of over $3M.

  • To identify Saskatchewan participants with the potential to advance to higher levels of competition.(Provincial Team, National Competitions, Canada Games, Western Canada Summer Games, North American Indigenous Games).
  • To enhance community development through a sport legacy of upgraded equipment, facilities, experienced officials, cultural understanding and appreciation, and a core group of volunteers.
  • To motivate participants to achieve a higher level of sport skill and physical well being.
  • To promote athlete, coach and official development programs within all Districts in the province.
  • To provide a provincial showcase which increases public awareness and support for amateur sport in Saskatchewan.
