On behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, I would like to congratulate all Saskatchewan athletes participating in the 2023 Canada Winter Games in Prince Edward Island.

For over fifty years, the Canada Games have been enriching the lives of competitors and their families by providing opportunities for individuals to celebrate their accomplishments and achieve personal excellence through sport. As a skilled athlete, you have dedicated yourself to years of disciplined training, hard work and sacrifice. Together with your friends and family, I applaud you on reaching this impressive level of competition.

The 2023 edition of the Canada Games brings together more than 3,600 athletes from all provinces and territories to compete in 20 different sports. 

Be sure to take advantage of the warm hospitality and embrace the transformative experience this competition will provide. A special thank you to all the event coaches, staff, parents, and volunteers who have made this inter-provincial and territorial sporting event possible.

Again, best of luck to our Saskatchewan athletes, #GoTeamSask.

Together, all involved are the foundation of amateur sport in Saskatchewan.

Thank you to the host committee for their tireless efforts to make these Games a reality for the more than 3,600 athletes participating in 20 different sports. Without your dedication, the 29th edition of the Games would not have been possible.
