The Saskatchewan Tourism Awards of Excellence Gala has become a yearly showcase of achievement, bringing together representatives from every corner of the province and from a diverse range of businesses and attractions to celebrate the accomplishments of their colleagues in the industry. Originally scheduled to take place on April 2 in Regina, the 31st annual event was cancelled, along with the HOST Saskatchewan Conference, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the cancellation of both industry gatherings, the announcement of the 12 Saskatchewan Tourism Awards of Excellence recipients and three Tourism Builders was postponed. Through the use of technology and adoption of a new virtual format, members of Saskatchewan’s tourism industry are now able to gather from afar to honour those outstanding businesses and people who have gone above and beyond to deliver superior service and experiences. Join the celebration as the Saskatchewan Tourism Awards of Excellence shine a spotlight on the commitment and hard work of veteran operators, as well as the innovative spirit of young entrepreneurs, and broaden understanding of efforts that yield success and, ultimately, position Saskatchewan as a more inviting and competitive destination.

    BUILDING SOCIAL CAPITAL THROUGH SPORT, CULTURE AND RECREATION: AN EXPERIMENT IN COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE IN SASKATCHEWAN USING THE PROCEEDS OF STATE-DIRECTED GAMBLING A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Special Case Doctor of Philosophy Interdisciplinary University of Regina by Lynn Eileen Gidluck Regina, Saskatchewan July 2015 © 2015: L.E. Gidluck UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Lynn Eileen Gidluck, candidate for the degree of Special Case Doctor of Philosophy Interdisciplinary, has presented a thesis titled, Building Social Capital Through Sport, Culture and Recreation: An Experiment in Collaborative Governance in Saskatchewan Using The Proceeds of State-Directed Gambling, in an oral examination held on June 19, 2015. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: *Dr. Luc Theriault, University of New Brunswick Co-Supervisor: Dr. Gregory Marchildon, Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School Co-Supervisor: Dr. Raymond Blake, Department of History Committee Member: Dr. Rozzet Jurdi, Department of Sociology & Social Studies Committee Member: Dr. Larena Hoeber, Faculty of Kinesiology & Health Studies Committee Member: *Dr. Colin S. Campbell, One-Time Graduate Committee Member Chair of Defense: Dr. Laurie Clune, Faculty of Nursing *via SKYPE ABSTRACT When states make the decision to increase government revenue from gambling, they have to mediate between a range of options for operating, regulating and controlling an industry viewed by many people to produce more public harm than benefits. Very little research has been conducted that explores the interface between the generation of revenue from state-directed gambling and efforts that governments make to use this revenue source for a social purpose.

  • Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.
