Former Carrot River and Melfort resident receives Saskatchewan Association of Recreation Professionals Honorary Life Award
Lyle Campbell is this year’s successful recipient of the 2021 Honorary Life Award.
Campbell was born and raised in Carrot River and after graduating post-secondary school in Saskatoon, he moved to Melfort. He was Melfort’s first-ever Community Leadership and Programs Coordinator.
Campbell mentioned that his time spent with SARP has been exactly what he wanted in life, having been so involved in sports and recreation since he was in high school, and that winning this award was just a cherry on top.
“For me, it’s certainly more than just a job. I’ve chosen it as my career path and I certainly still enjoy it. You certainly don’t go into an industry like this expecting to win all kinds of awards, but I am very certainly very grateful and very humbled by an award like this.”
