Team Saskatchewan is officially set to compete at the 2025 Canada Summer Games, taking place August 9 – 25 in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. Team Sask recently unveiled its full athlete roster and introduced dual-sport standout Hayden Kot of Regina as the flag bearer for the Opening Ceremony.
Team Sask’s 2025 contingent is one of the largest and most diverse in its history, featuring 377 athletes, 85 coaches and 26 mission staff that will be representing 92 communities across Saskatchewan with athletes competing in 19 different sports.
This brings the full delegation to 488 members, all united under the green and white flag, ready to showcase their skill, passion, and pride on the national stage.
Chosen to lead Team Sask into the Opening Ceremonies is Hayden Kot, a multi-talented athlete competing in both female basketball and volleyball. Hailing from Regina, Kot embodies the spirit of versatility, commitment, and leadership that defines Team Sask.
During the announcement event, Lieutenant Governor Bernadette McIntyre shared warm greetings from King Charles III and expressed her support. “What a thrilling time awaits Team Sask at the upcoming 2025 Canada Summer Games! 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 introduced the team to an enthusiastic crowd of athletes, coaches, and representatives from Sask Sport, the Saskatchewan Games Council, and the Government of Saskatchewan.
“Every one of our teams has put in a tremendous amount of preparation to get ready for their moment on the national stage,” said Perreaux. “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.”
