Melfort recreation manager wins 2025 Rec Rumble
A northeast local has won the 2025 Saskatchewan Association of Recreation Professionals (SARP) Rec Rumble.
Melfort Recreation and Aquatics Manager, Shannon Marshall, has been crowned the winner and will soon receive her championship belt.
“It’s pretty cool, I was just excited to get nominated and definitely didn’t expect to win. We have some really awesome rec professionals across our province, and recreation is such a broad spectrum term… I’m proud of Melfort, we do a lot here that’s good for recreation and people enjoy it, so it’s something for everybody in the community to celebrate,” she told northeastNOW.
“I think recreation just means community connection, it makes people feel engaged and connected, and it gives them something in their community that they really enjoy that can be a bit of a break from everyday mundane things, that’s easy to participate in. We really try and reach all age demographics and make sure that there’s something in the community that everyone can participate in.”
