BRENDA DOWLING

Brenda Dowling still fondly remembers having goosebumps each time she walked out with her District team at the Saskatchewan Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Her love for tennis and bowling led her to compete in five Saskatchewan Games events in 1972, 1974, 1984, 1988 and 1992. Brenda’s competition experience inspired her to become a Games tennis venue umpire in 2000, nine-time Mission Staff Member, Host Committee Co-chair of Athlete Services in 2010 and Saskatchewan Games Council Board of Directors member for several years in the 2000’s. She champions the Games as a positive, friendly, and safe environment for the development of sport and describes its legacy as “multi-faceted” – emphasizing the opportunities it offers to create lifelong friendships and confidence for everyone involved.
