Our Biggest Event of the Year

The 39th Annual SADD Saskatchewan Provincial Conference brings together student delegates, chapter advisors, and community partners from across the province for two days of inspiration, leadership development, and provincial governance.

The conference includes keynote and guest speakers, interactive sessions, chapter sharing, the annual awards luncheon, the Annual General Meeting, and elections for SADD Saskatchewan's provincial board.

We hope all chapters can send more than one delegate. If you're the only delegate available from your chapter — please come anyway and join our special group for delegations of one.
