Although there was a little uncertainty with the Saskatchewan Job Actions, the event came together wonderfully and brought together Athletic Directors from across the country. It is always reinvigorating to see the connections, networking and exchange of ideas. The com-mon theme was “I wish everyone could be here”. Thursday Night, our Banquet celebrated our Dave Rozdeba Award Winner, Tim Murdy and nished with an inspiring talk from Tyler Smith of the Humboldt Broncos. His message was reective and left everyone a bit more appreciative of the little things. The days were lled with Leadership Train-ing Courses, including the new Mental Health for Student Athletes, that was a great success and we are excited to start offering in our next webinar series. Addi-tionally, we had a variety of workshops, from Educational Athletics and Teaching Life Skills, to injury taping and creating
an environment against bullying. Check out our CIAAA Membership Portal for the workshop recordings if you were not able to join in per-son. Friday crowned a new Baggo Championship team, had an inspira-tional story from Ted Jaleta, and nished with our social. The passion our Athletic Directors bring to their job and the desire to continue to grow and improve was apparent throughout the event. What is often an isolated job, at this event, allows connection. Friday afternoon held the annual Discussion Forum, where hot topics are shared and then discussed to get some different perspectives and approaches. All of our discussion topics are recorded in the CIAAA Discussion Forum, so you can keep the conversation going. Need a login for the Discussion Forum? Email info@ciaaa.ca. Throughout the event, the message stayed consistent. “I want to come back” and “I want to have more ADs here”. Start planning for next year, check out options for PD funding through both districts/provinces/grants and see what is available.
