Saskatchewan Children and Youth Participation in Sport, Recreation and Cultural Activities

This report presents the re-analysis of data from the 2005 Aboriginal Youth Participation in Sport, Culture and Recreation Study.  The data was re-analyzed to more accurately represent Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal children and youth residing in Saskatchewan.  Results on various aspects of children and youth participation in sport, recreation and cultural activities are presented, including comparisons by Aboriginal status, gender and region.  Click here for the TPCS (2008) SK Children and Youth Participation in Sport Recreation and Cultural Activities.

The following document is the culmination of a four month project by Gene Makowsky who was contracted by the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport to review the current state of minor football in the province.  The focus of the project is to examine the increasing enthusiasm for this sport in communities across the province.  The report also provides information on the components of running a successful football program while highlighting barriers that prevent participation and providing recommendations on how to overcome those barriers.  Increased participation in existing and new minor football programs is anticipated as a result of Mr. Makowsky's involvement with the project.  Click here for Mr. Makowsky's report on minor league football in Saskatchewan.

Through the Building Communities Program, the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport provided more than $90 million to support cultural and recreational infrastructure needs throughout the province, supporting the government's commitment to make life better for Saskatchewan families and build a better future for young people.

The program is now complete and there will be no further intakes.
