Saskatchewan Games

The games began in 1972 when Roy Romanow, then Minister in charge of the Saskatchewan Youth Agency, announced the beginning of the games. The first summer games were held in 1972 in Moose Jaw, and the first winter games were held two years later in North Battleford.[1]

The 2020 Saskatchewan Summer Games had been scheduled to be held in Lloydminster. They were postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but on December 21, 2020 it was announced that the games had been cancelled in full due to continued health and safety concerns. Lloydminster will receive the right of first refusal to host the 2024 Games.[2][3]

Citing that they typically bid for national and international events, and to encourage the Games to be held in smaller cities, Regina and Saskatoon are ineligible to bid for any Saskatchewan Games. An exception was made for 2022, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on smaller cities and a desire to hold them in an area with more hospitality and sports infrastructure. It will mark the first time that one of the province's two largest cities will host the Saskatchewan Games.[4]
