Membership Assistance Program

The Membership Assistance Program (MAP) Grant is funding provided through Sask Sport and the Sask Lotteries Trust Fund to support community-level sport development across Saskatchewan. Each year, Sask Sailing receives an allocation of MAP funds and distributes them to eligible member clubs to help grow participation, improve local programming, and strengthen grassroots sailing initiatives. MAP funding is intended to support broad-based, entry-level development. it must be used in accordance with Sask Sport’s accountability and reporting requirements.

Sanctioned Events

A “sanctioned event” is an activity officially approved by Sask Sailing to ensure it meets the standards for safety, governance, and insurance coverage. Once an event has been sanctioned it also covers an event for insurance purposes. Sanctioning provides formal recognition that events (e.g. regattas, training camps, clinics, or work bee’s) are being delivered in accordance with provincial policies and sailing best practices. This designation helps protect organisers, participants, our association, and ensures events are run consistently and responsibly.

 

Safe Sport

Safe Sport refers to a set of policies, practices, and programs designed to ensure the safety, well-being, and inclusion of everyone involved in sport—especially athletes, but also coaches, officials, volunteers, and administrators. The goal is to create a positive, inclusive, and respectful environment free from abuse, harassment, discrimination, and other forms of maltreatment.

 

Sask Sailing Awards

Sask Sailing’s awards program celebrates the sailors, coaches, volunteers, and clubs whose dedication and achievements elevate our sport. Each year, we recognise outstanding performance, leadership, and contributions that strengthen sailing both within Saskatchewan and beyond, highlighting the individuals and communities that make our province’s sailing culture great.
