Dear Members,

April is Volunteer Month, and we’re excited to launch our “Nominate Your Mat Hero” campaign to recognize the incredible volunteers who
help make our judo community thrive.

Coaches, parents, referees, and behind-the-scenes volunteers all play a vital role in supporting our athletes and clubs. This campaign is a
simple way to say thank you and shine a spotlight on those who make a difference every day.

How it works:

Submit a quick nomination (takes less than 1 minute)
Tell us:
The person’s name
Their club
A short sentence about why they’re awesome
A photo (optional, but encouraged)

All nominees will be featured throughout the month on our social media channels, helping us celebrate the people who strengthen
our judo community.

Incentive:
Every nomination submitted also counts as an entry toward a club pizza party draw at Provincials!

We encourage all members to take a moment to recognize someone who has made a positive impact on their judo journey.

Thank you for helping us celebrate and grow our volunteer community.

Important Sask Winter Games Details 2026

The Board of Directors for Judo Saskatchewan would like to let the membership and general public know that the President and Treasurer resigned on Wednesday December 10,2025.

TV Taylor was very dedicated to Judo for the past 30+ years. He respectfully put his heart and soul into being the President. We truly did appreciate your time and commitment to the sport.

Michelle Wiens has been the Treasurer for Judo Saskatchewan since 2022. Michelle has spent countless hours making sure the bills were paid. We thank you for your service.

As these resignations have occurred and will without a doubt leave a void the remaining 7 members will be stepping up. According to our bylaws Jim Wiens the current Vice President should assume the role as President. At the time of this release it has not been confirmed if he is accepting the position.

We would like to let the membership and public know that Judo Saskatchewan has and will continue to be a safe, caring, supportive organization. Our number one priority is your kids, our athletes and the membership.

We are working hard to make Judo Saskatchewan a transparent, caring organization that every parent, coach, kid, athlete, grandparent is proud to say they are a part of.

Please give us the grace to work through this process. We hope to address all concerns in the near future under the guidance and support of Sask Sport. More information will become available once it has passed through all the respective channels. Thank you for your patience.
