After winning 17 medals during the first half of the Canada Winter Games in P.E.I, Team Sask added three medals in the second half to bring the overall total to 20 medals. Team Sask finished sixth overall among the 13 provinces and territories.

Four-time Canada Games participant in both the Winter and Summer editions, Krystle Shewchuk, was named Team Sask's flag bearer for the closing ceremonies. She captured a bronze medal in P.E.I in the female Para Nordic sit-ski five-kilometre interval start.

Sask Sport is deeply saddened by the loss of founding member, Don Clark.



Don helped found Sask Sport in 1972 and served on the board from 1977 to 1979 as the first Vice President of Programs. During his time on the board, he worked with universities to develop assistance programs for athletes, and furthered volunteer recognition through the fall conference and awards program.
