The 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games now has a Games manager.
An announcement Tuesday identified Nicole Clow as the new head of the local effort.
Clow has previously been involved in the Saskatchewan, Canada and the North American Indigenous Games in many different roles.
“Nicole’s experience as an athlete, a coach, a volunteer, administrator, mission staff, and Chef de Mission over the past decade made her a very attractive applicant for this position. Her knowledge and passion for all things Games will make her a very valuable asset going forward,” said Co-Chair Brian Smith in a press release.
While studying for her Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of Regina, Clow spent time as an intern for the Saskatchewan Games Council. That experience launched her career with Southeast Connection Sport, Culture and Recreation District. While in that role, she worked with athletes, coaches and administrators across the province.
In Tuesday’s release, Clow said, “I am passionate about all things Games. I am excited about learning new things behind the scenes as well as being able to utilize my previous experience to assist the Estevan Committee in their quest to make this a highly energized event.”
The hiring of a Games manager will come with regular office hours.
“When we hired Nicole, she had already committed to going to Prince George, B.C. for the Canada Winter Games. We support her attendance there, as we know that she will bring back vast amounts of knowledge from those Games that will benefit our Games here. Once she returns in March, we will schedule regular office hours, which will facilitate community contact in our road to the Games,” noted Smith.
