LARRY SAUER

Looking back on his multi-games experience, Larry Sauer says he was extremely pleased to take on the role of Games Manager for the 2008 Saskatchewan Summer Games in Lloydminster. In 2010, he joined the Saskatchewan Games Council as a Board Member and moved on to be Chairman for the last three years of his time on the Board. Larry says he values his experience as Games manager because it gave him a great sense of pride in his community as well as in the volunteers who contributed to making the event a great success. He believes the Games provide a legacy through new or upgraded facilities which continue to be enjoyed by athletes, coaches, and fans in host communities. Additionally, he says its legacy is carried on through past volunteers who were inspired to take on leadership roles to further the development of youth in their communities. After the Games, Larry continued to volunteer as a coach, and worked as an organizer to promote sport in his community. He was also on the organizing committee for the 2020 Saskatchewan Games - to be held in Lloydminster - but were canceled due to pandemic restrictions.
