ABOUT THE SASKATCHEWAN GAMES COUNCIL

ABOUT THE SASKATCHEWAN GAMES COUNCIL

The Saskatchewan Games Council is a not-for-profit provincial organization, whose focus is to provide a quality multi-sport experience for our province's young, developing athletes. The Council is the permanent regulatory body for the Saskatchewan Games program, which sees participation from thousands of athletes, coaches, and officials at each event and takes place in communities across the province every two years, alternating between summer and winter.  

First established in 1972, the purpose of the Saskatchewan Games is to provide an opportunity for the province’s developing athletes, coaches and officials to participate in an exciting multi-sport event in preparation for a higher level of competition.

Countless Saskatchewan Games alumni have advanced to competition at the national level and beyond, with Olympians such as Catriona Le May Doan, Emily Clarke, Marsha Hudey, and Lisa Franks counting the Saskatchewan Games as a key step in their journey to the highest levels of sport. The Saskatchewan Games also leave behind valuable legacies that benefit each host community for years to come.

TANSI AND RAVI

Say hello to the official mascots of the Saskatchewan Games!

Tansi and Ravi are a sister and brother team of white-tailed deer. Tansi (pronounced Tawn-say) is a Cree language greeting meaning, "Hi, how are you?" Ravi (pronounced Ra-vee) means "delighted" in French. These two are so excited to welcome the entire province to Regina for the 2023 Saskatchewan Winter Games in celebration of the Games' 50th anniversary!

This pair of white-tailed deer was chosen as the official mascots of the 2005 Canada Summer Games held in Regina, Saskatchewan. At the conclusion of those Games, the mascots were gifted to the Saskatchewan Games Council, who adopted them as the program's official mascots -- ever since 2006, they've traveled to every corner of the province to celebrate our province's athletes, coaches, volunteers, and community spirit. They've been all over the place -- from Melfort, to Meadow Lake, to North Battleford, and now to their new home in Regina (including a stopover in Swift Current for the 2019 Western Canada Summer Games)!
