“Should travel adjustments be required, departures from each District Team departure point may be delayed or rescheduled.”
Saskatchewan Games Council encouraged families of participants preparing for travel to or from the Games to keep an eye on local road conditions and weather advisories in their area, make sure personal safety is forefront when making travel decisions, watch for official updates from the council and to look out for confirmed travel plans from their District Team Chef de Mission.
“The Saskatchewan Games Council is actively working with the Host Organizing Committee and its transportation partners to assess road conditions and determine appropriate contingency plans. The safety of all athletes, coaches, officials, and volunteers remains top priority,” the council said in a statement.
