Team Sask Announces Full Contingent and Opening Ceremonies Flag Bearer Ahead of the 2025 Canada Summer Games
REGINA, SK (July 28, 2025): Team Sask has announced the full contingent of athletes that will proudly represent the province at the 2025 Canada Summer Games in St. John’s, NL, and has named dual-sport athlete Hayden Kot (Basketball - F, Volleyball - F) of Regina as the flag bearer who will lead Saskatchewan into the Opening Ceremony on August 9, 2025. The Games will run until August 25, 2025.
With 377 athletes, 19 sports, 85 members of the coaching staff, and 26 mission staff representing a total of 92 communities across the province, Team Saskatchewan’s full contingent of 488 is ready to compete against the best in the country.
With strong medal contenders in many disciplines and numerous provincial and national champions in their respective sports found among the team’s ranks, Team Sask will aim to improve upon its medal count of 32 at the 2022 Canada Summer Games in Niagara, ON. Approximately 4,500 of Canada’s top amateur athletes from all 13 provinces and territories will compete at the national multi-sport event, which first launched in 1967.
During Monday’s provincial media conference at the Regina Performing Arts Centre, Lieutenant Governor Bernadette McIntyre brought greetings from King Charles III and stated: “What a thrilling time awaits Team Sask at the upcoming 2025 Canada Summer Games in Newfoundland and Labrador! You will be competing against Canada’s elite athletes. I hope you enjoy the challenge and do your very best.”
Team Sask Chef de Mission Greg Perreaux formally announced Team Sask's full contingent to media and addressed the crowd of over 120 athletes, coaches, and representatives from the Government of Saskatchewan, Sask Sport, and the Saskatchewan Games Council. “Every one of our teams has put in a tremendous amount of preparation to get ready for their moment on the national stage,” Perreaux said. “These Games will be an opportunity to build lifelong memories, meet new friends from across the province and country, and enjoy the incredible experience that only the Canada Games can offer.”
“It is my pleasure to congratulate all members of Team Saskatchewan who were selected to represent our province at the 2025 Canada Summer Games in St. John's, Newfoundland,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Alana Ross said. “Your hard work and dedication has given you the opportunity to showcase your abilities in the country's marquee event for amateur sport, an achievement that you should be very proud of. I hope the memories and experiences of the 2025 Canada Summer Games will last a lifetime.”
Athletes who compete at the Canada Games represent the country’s next generation of national, international, Olympic, and Paralympic champions. Team Sask alumni Catriona Le May Doan, Mark McMorris, Emily Clark, Rylan Wiens, Shelby Newkirk, and Carissa Norsten, among many others, can all count their previous Canada Games experiences as a stepping stone to the highest levels of sport.
