2018 MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY Financial Assistance Provided by: Message from the Chair It is my distinct privilege to serve the Recreation Professionals of Saskatchewan on your Board of Directors and specifically as your Chairperson. Our membership may be diverse pertaining to the actual work that we perform within the field that we serve, however, it is important to recognize what continues to unite us and drive us in the field of recreation. It is our common vision of education for recreation professionals, combined with our values of lifelong learning, integrity, leadership and professional conduct as we serve our institutions and communities towards the ultimate achievement of wellbeing for all individuals, the community, and all natural and built environments. These uniting visions and values bring us together, and I encourage you to connect with and utilize, the immense pool of experience and knowledge listed in this Directory (namely our members), as you perform your work. I also challenge all members to ask yourselves, “How can I personally contribute in a meaningful way to our field and our association?” The true legacy each of us shall leave behind, no matter what the field, shall include what, and how, we were able to “give”; professionally and personally. Our time is now; let’s make the most of it. Shelley Thoen-Chaykoski S.A.R.P. Chairperson Message from the Executive Director I truly enjoy working with the Recreation Professionals in this Association and love to hear their passion for the Industry. I am very excited for the designation of Recreation Professionals Week in Saskatchewan, during June is Recreation & Parks Month! Having a week that acknowledges and thanks the Professionals that makes the Recreation Industry tick is well deserved. I hope you enjoy this year’s Member Directory. I encourage you to reach out and connect with other S.A.R.P. Members as we have a vast knowl- edge base in this Association. Thank you to all of our Professional Mem- bers who volunteered to participate in our Mentorship Program, there is a lot of experience that our Students and young Professionals can turn to and learn from.
