SSA Offices Closed - Monday May 23
Regina and Saskatoon SSA offices will be closed on Monday May 23 for the stat holiday.
Wishing everyone a restful long weekend!
Soccer Town in Saskatchewan Update
Coming out of covid, we are aware that many members are finding their return to soccer a challenge this season. The timing of our Soccer Town campaign in combination with the ongoing challenges of becoming fully operational after two years under COVID restrictions has unfortunately made participation in the 'Soccer Town in Sask' video campaign not feasible this year for many.
Out of respect for that, SSA and Living Sky Sports have agreed to cancel the 2022 Soccer Town in Sask video campaign.
We look forward to future opportunities to continue to support LSSE in their bid to acquire a new stadium in Saskatoon and bring professional soccer to Saskatchewan in the future.

Volunteer Support Requested
These events provide a promotional opportunity for Member Organizations; consider setting up a booth or tent during the weekend to promote your organization.
We would appreciate Member Organizations reaching out to anyone they believe would be interested in volunteering during the events to assist in the delivery of the weekend. This could be a great opportunity for those in high school to earn volunteer hours or university students who are interested in event planning and execution.

Educational Resource:
What is unconscious bias? Our brains group people based on things we know or assume about them, like age, gender, skin colour, income, ability or education. Our brains use these groupings to make judgements without us even knowing it. This is called unconscious bias.
