The weeklong event will include competitions in Archery, Athletics, Baseball, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Canoe Kayak, Golf, Soccer, Softball, Special Olympics - Bocce, Swimming, Tennis, Triathlon and Volleyball.

"Congratulations to all the athletes, coaches, officials and support staff who are taking part in the 2024 Saskatchewan Summer Games in Lloydminster," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. "Thank you to all the amazing volunteers for your hard work in getting ready for what will surely be an amazing event. The Saskatchewan Games recognizes our young athletes for their hard work and dedication and helps prepare them for higher levels of competition. They promote healthy, active lifestyles and build pride throughout our province and communities."
Athletes from across Saskatchewan have been gearing up this spring to qualify for the Games, with tryouts taking place until the end of June. Final team selections will be announced to the media and published on saskgames.ca in the first week of July.
"This is a major milestone in our road to the Games: only one month to go until our entire province gathers for the first Saskatchewan Summer Games to take place since 2016," Saskatchewan Games Council Executive Director Greg Perreaux said. "The Saskatchewan Games Council sends sincere gratitude to the many partners, volunteers, and community champions who have put so much energy into the planning of these Games. It takes a village to deliver the Saskatchewan Games, and we can't wait to work together to deliver this once-in-a-lifetime experience to our province's young athletes."
The volunteer-led Host Organizing Committee is wrapping up its final preparations to welcome thousands of visitors to Lloydminster next month. In addition to its organizing committee, the Games will require upwards of 1,000 local volunteers to support all aspects of the event, including ticket and merchandise sales, sport photography, results processing, mascot handling, assistance with sport competitions, set-up and tear-down of venues, greeting athletes and much more.
Volunteer roles are available for all ages, abilities and accessibility needs. The volunteer drive is currently underway, and interested residents can learn more and register to volunteer at saskgames.ca/volunteer.
The Saskatchewan Games are made possible through the collaboration and contributions of many different partners, including the Saskatchewan Games Council and its funding partners, the volunteer Host Organizing Committee, the provincial Districts for Sport, Culture and Recreation, the Provincial Sport Organizations, Sask Sport Inc., Sask Lotteries and more.
