Building Blocks

Building sport comes in many different forms – from organizing friends on the playground to starting clubs and teams in communities or schools. Builders also develop individual athletes. Over the course of time their ability to connect with individuals creates a legacy and culture of success in their programs.

These builders also need support, whether it’s the mentorship they received as athletes or programs that offer opportunities that allow them to improve.

Building Blocks celebrates the builders of sport in Saskatchewan and the legacies and lineage of some historic programs.

Some builders establish great programs and others build upon them to take them to even greater levels of success. Strong mentors help build people of character. Those cornerstones in sport provide a foundation, and as the people they influence assume the mantle, they inspire future generations in turn.

Building Blocks celebrates some of the people who laid the foundations for sport and programs in the province, but also some people who are moving sport forward today and carving out their own sporting legacies.
