Welcome to Judo Saskatchewan

Every nomination will equal 1 entry into a draw. Every nomination earns an entry to win a pizza party. Winner will be announced at Provincials.

Dear Members,

April is Volunteer Month, and we’re excited to launch our “Nominate Your Mat Hero” campaign to recognize the incredible volunteers who
help make our judo community thrive.

Coaches, parents, referees, and behind-the-scenes volunteers all play a vital role in supporting our athletes and clubs. This campaign is a
simple way to say thank you and shine a spotlight on those who make a difference every day.

How it works:

Submit a quick nomination (takes less than 1 minute)
Tell us:
The person’s name
Their club
A short sentence about why they’re awesome
A photo (optional, but encouraged)

All nominees will be featured throughout the month on our social media channels, helping us celebrate the people who strengthen
our judo community.

Incentive:
Every nomination submitted also counts as an entry toward a club pizza party draw at Provincials!

We encourage all members to take a moment to recognize someone who has made a positive impact on their judo journey.

Thank you for helping us celebrate and grow our volunteer community.

The Participation and Development Committee is excited to announce a special training opportunity with Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard on Friday, May 29, 2026.

Catherine will be in Saskatchewan as the guest coach for the Girls Camp on Saturday; however, we want to ensure that athletes from across the province have the opportunity to train with her.

Event Details:

• Location: Thom Collegiate, 265 Argyle St N, Regina

• Doors Open: 6:30 PM

• Training Session: 7:00 – 9:00 PM

Autographs & Meet-and-Greet: Immediately following the session.

This session is open to all Judo Saskatchewan members aged 12 and up, orange belt and higher.

In the spirit of Jigoro Kano’s principle of mutual welfare and benefit, this session will be by donation, with all proceeds going to support the Thom Collegiate Trojan Judo Club. Currently, the only high school judo program in Saskatchewan.

I am honoured to share that I have been appointed President of Judo Saskatchewan.

This organization means a lot to me, and I am grateful for the trust the Board has placed in me. I am excited to work with our athletes, coaches, officials, voluntees, and board to continue growing Judo across our province.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to what we will accomplish together.

Sincerely,

Aidan Skaf
President
Judo Saskatchewan
