PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S ANNUAL REPORT
The Sport Medicine and Science Council of Saskatchewan had a productive and successful year in 2015. The highlights are listed below. We implemented the third and final year of our current three year (2013-2015) strategic plan in 2015. The overall general goal and objective for the three year plan was to increase service provision to our clients. This goal was accomplished thanks in part to the communication and promotion of our services to our clients by Council staff members, Scott Jule and Travis Laycock and the Canadian Sport Centre‟s Targeted Enhanced Sport Science and Medicine Services Initiative (see below and statistics on page 32 for further details). We received 909 requests for our sport science and sport medicine services which resulted in 2608 contact hours (see statistics for further details). These services were provided by a combination of our staff and approved consultants. Staff consisted of Heather Hynes, Nutrition Consultant (Saskatoon) who was on maternity leave for most of 2015. Alison Friesen, Nutritionist Consultant (Saskatoon) was contracted to replace her. Lisa Hoffart, Mental Performance Consultant. She was also on maternity leave in 2015. Her replacements were Rob McCaffrey (Regina) and Kyle McDonald (Regina) who were contracted to share her regular duties and Dr. Jody Burnett who was contracted to manage the Canadian Sport Centre - GAME Plan Athlete Career Transition Program. Consultants consisted of approximately 65 approved sport science consultants and 110 sport medicine consultants (number includes event coverage personnel). From a financial perspective the Council had what would be called a successful year. Total revenue was at $848,392.00 above our 2014 total of $788,850.00. Total expenditures were over $752,000.00 which was an increase when compared with 2014 ($728,962).The increase in both revenues and expenses was mainly due to an increase in funding from the Canadian Sport Centre Saskatchewan(CSCS) to provide “enhanced services” to targeted provincial sport governing bodies. The CSCS funding also contributed to the Council realizing a substantial budget surplus in excess of $97,000. This significant surplus was mainly due to the following factors; (1) approximately $34,250 in sport science and sport medicine consulting fee savings due to the approximately $84,000.00 in enhanced funding received from the Canadian Sport Centre Saskatchewan to provide services to targeted provincial sport governing bodies. This funding was utilized first when providing services to the provincial sport governing bodies which resulted in cost savings to us; (2) approximately $34,000 in staff salary cost savings realized due to the maternity leaves of Heather Hynes and Lisa Hoffart; (3) an approximately $25,000 (3% of total revenue) cushion is always allocated into the budget in case of unforeseen expenditures. The financial situation for 2016 and beyond will be far more daunting. The Council‟s staff will be returning from maternity leaves in 2016. The current fees paid to our consultants will be reviewed in 2016 with the distinct possibility of them being increased and finally the hours of “free service” being provided to our clients will be increased in 2016 as well.

We continued to offer our sport medicine and science high performance programs and our educational and sport safety programs to our main clients the Provincial Sport Governing Bodies (PSGB‟s) provincial athletes and coaches. Sports (PSGB‟s) receive a certain amount of free service from the Council depending on which tier (1-4) they fall into. The tier system was developed by Sask Sport Inc and the Council based in part on the sports annual follow-up to Sask Sport Inc. Sports are evaluated on certain important performance criteria established by Sask Sport Inc and the Council. Sports are then put into a Tier from 1-4 depending on their evaluation score. Sports that score high in their evaluation are categorized as Tier 1 and receive more free service then a sport categorized into a Tier 4. Sports requests for service were steady across all sport science and sport medicine categories. In addition, University athletes and coaches continue to receive a limited amount of free service as well. Finally, grassroots athletes and coaches and schools and community groups across Saskatchewan continued to access our programs on a “fee for service” basis. The Council renewed its service contract with the Canadian Sport Centre Saskatchewan (CSCS) in 2015. The Council received approximately $194,433.00 in funding for services provided this past year. This was a significant increase when compared to 2014 ($128,583) The increase was mainly due to the $84,000.00 in funding received for high performance enhanced sport science and sport medicine funding initiative established by the CSCS in 2015 with assistance from the Council. This program targeted 27 selected provincial sport governing bodies as determined by the Centre (Sask Sport Inc.). This program‟s objective is to increase the pool of Saskatchewan athletes, coaches, officials and teams who are consistently achieving success at regional, national and international competitions. The main purpose of the program is to increase the strength and conditioning activity of the sports targeted by the program. This includes development, implementation, monitoring and supervision of a comprehensive strength and conditioning program (core strength, weight training, stretching, etc.). Physiological Field and/or Lab Testing are also components of the program. This program was led by the network of strength and conditioning experts currently available to our sports through the Council. Although, strength and conditioning was the primary focus for this new initiative, other service areas were also eligible, including: nutrition, mental training, sport medicine and biomechanical analysis. The Council continued to provide sport medicine and science services to all the Saskatchewan athletes and coaches who are registered with the CSCS. These athletes and coaches are members of Canada‟s national, international and Olympic teams. In addition, we provided service to CSCS recognized Saskatchewan Training Groups and professional development workshops to recognized coaches and athletes. Council Staff also provided administrative support to the Centre by assisting with the athlete intake interview process, medical treatment reimbursements and participation in Centre Staff and Management Committee meetings. Our association with the CSCS has proven very beneficial to the Council, our members and our dedicated consultants. The Council also continued to work with aboriginal groups and organizations to promote and provide sport science and medicine services to aboriginal athletes and coaches in 2015. The purpose of the service is; (1) to raise the performance level of aboriginal athletes, coaches and officials and (2) to increase participation in mainstream sport, aboriginal competitions, and multi-sport games.

The Council was active with our member and consultant professional development area in 2015. The Council officially established a permanent standing Professional Development Committee. This Committee is responsible to develop a strategic and operational plan for the provision of professional development opportunities for our members and consultants. The Council hosted a very successful Level 1 and Level 2 Functional Movement Screen Course at the end of May in 2015. We had 31 paid registrants and the Council managed a small profit of approximately $500.00. In addition the Council approved nine (9) professional development grants to active consultants and staff who attended various conferences throughout the year.
The Sport Medicine and Science Council of Saskatchewan Legacy Fund was established in
2015. The Board of Directors approved the program in the spring. An application was then
submitted to Sask Sport Inc. who approved the Council‟s submission in the fall. This program
was developed by Sask Sport Inc. to assist their member organizations in implementing a gift
giving/fundraising campaign. The program encourages individuals who have benefited from
sport or those who believe in the value of sport to give something back for current and future
generations. Cash, monthly or annual contributions, gifts in kind or planned gifts are all
eligible donations. A complementary “donor incentive program” has also been developed to
assist Provincial Sport Organizations in attracting donors. Donor recognition and significant
tax savings further add to the attractiveness of contributing to the Fund. The Council received
its first donation in December 2015 from Dr. Jack and Cheryl Alexander. Dr. Jack Alexander
is one of the founders of the Council and its first President. We will continue to look for new ways to encourage our clients to access our programs and services and look to expand and enhance the programs and services available to our clients where appropriate. Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the Members, Board, Executive, Committee‟s, Consultants and Staff for all your hard work and dedication to the athletes and coaches of Saskatchewan in 2015. It is because of you we have an organization that is one of the leading sport medicine and science service providers in Canada. We are doing our part to educate society that sport is more than “just a game” but is an integral part of an active and healthy lifestyle. Respectfully Submitted;
Ms. Lisa Swallow, President Mark Henry, Executive Director

SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS & SERVICES
A. OVERVIEW The Sport Medicine and Science Council of Saskatchewan (SMSCS) offers a unique service to Saskatchewan amateur sport by providing high quality evidence based sport medicine and science services and programs. These programs and services are available to all levels and caliber of athletes and coaches throughout Saskatchewan with a specific priority on the Sask Sport Inc. membership. This membership includes:
1) Provincial Sport Governing Bodies (65) 2) Saskatchewan Games Council 3) Coaches Association of Saskatchewan 4) Provincial Districts for Sport, Culture and Recreation (9) 5) Saskatchewan High School Athletics Association 6) University of Regina Athletic Teams 7) University of Saskatchewan Athletic Teams 8) Canadian Sport Centre Saskatchewan Recognized Athletes & Training Groups 9) Aboriginal Excellence Programs (eg. North American Indigenous Games) Services and programs offered to these groups are mainly “free” or in some instances at a “subsidized cost” thus enabling all designated Sask Sport Inc. members affordable access. Provincial Sport Governing Bodies (PSGB‟s) receive a certain amount of free service from the Council depending on which tier (1-4) they fall into. The tier system was developed by Sask Sport Inc and the Council based in part on the sports annual follow-up to Sask Sport Inc. Sports are evaluated on certain important performance criteria established by Sask Sport Inc and the Council. Sports are then put into a Tier from 1-4 depending on their evaluation score. Sports that score high in their evaluation are categorized as Tier 1 and receive more free service then a sport categorized into a Tier 4. Other clients above also receive some “free service” as well. The amounts are based on our annual budget and by using the Tier system as a reference. Some other groups that utilize our services on a “fee for service” include schools, recreations boards, private business and the general public. The SMSCS Tier Service chart for 2015 was as follows:

2015 Summary/Highlights
The Council contracted Alison Friesen, Sport Dietitian from (Saskatoon) to a 1 year contract to fill in for staff member Heather Hynes who went on maternity leave in March 2015.
22
The Council also contracted 2 new Mental Trainers; Kyle McDonald from (Regina) & Rob McCaffrey from (Regina) to a 1 year contract to fill in for staff member Lisa Hoffart who went on maternity leave in August 2015.
In 2015 we received 530 total requests for sport science services. This accounted for 58% of the total service requests received. In comparison to 2014, we received 534 total requests for sport science services that also accounted for 58% of the total service requests received.
In 2015 we provided 1932 total sport science consulting hours. This accounted for 80% of the total amount of consulting hours provided. In comparison to 2014, we provided 1644 total sport science consulting hours. This accounted for 74% of the total amount of consulting hours provided.
Sport science requests remained status quo, however a larger number of sport science contact hours were a result of the CSCS “enhanced services” program which targeted many Tier 1 & 2 sports. This is confirmed as Tier 1 & 2 sports had an overall increase in the amount of service provided as indicated in our strategic plan “outcome measurements”. The increase was mainly in the service area of strength and conditioning. (See appendix table #1)
Overall the sport science service usage provided to the provincial sport governing bodies (our priority client group) increased slightly when compared to the previous two (2) years. A three (3) year comparison of the percentage usage is provided below.
PSGB 2015 2014 2013 Tier 1 84% 81% 73.07% Tier 2 80% 63% 72.55% Tier 3 33% 57% 28.22% Tier 4 19% 5% 7%

-Injury prevention (warm up/cool down and stretching) -Recognition & care of common injuries -Life threatening injuries -Emergency action plans -Concussion Education and Awareness -Concussion Management Plans evaluations/reviews
2015 Summary/Highlights Overall, requests for all types of the Sport Medicine Educations sessions increased significantly in 2015 (32 requests) compared to 2014 (10 requests). A temporary Concussion Committee was established whose primary role was to develop/approve a draft Concussion Policy for the Council. Rhonda Shishkin was contracted to develop the „initial‟ draft Concussion Policy which was reviewed by the Concussion Committee. A final draft will be presented to the Board of Directors for approval. Initial Injury Assessments Individual services include:
-Personalized injury assessments. (Note: Must be completed by a qualified SMSCS consultant).
2015 Summary/Highlights These are administered through the SMSCS only for specific high performance athletes and only if the athlete does not have access/funding to their own/parents insurance program. It is only for an „initial‟ assessment not treatment. On average, the Council funds 3 – 4 of these per year.
Sport First Aid Kits & Supplies The SMSCS continued to provide the availability for clients to purchase sport first aid kits and supplies. Items for purchase are wide ranging including everything from tensors and tape to ointments and finger splints. Consultation on developing sport specific kits is also available.
24
2015 Summary/Highlights This program continued to provide a valuable service to various user groups and organizations across the province in 2015. 157 sales were made in 2015, compared to the previous four year average of 142. Medical Coverage Program The Medical Coverage Program is made up of three main components:
1. Event Coverage a) Personnel (notification, scheduling, invoicing) b) Equipment loan/usage
2. Equipment Rental and Supplies Sales 3. Consultative Services - administrative in nature relating to the overall development
of the medical protocol (set-up, personnel and equipment requirements, EAP‟s, etc).
On a request basis the SMSCS will make every attempt to provide the above components to
ensure sport and recreation groups provide adequate medical coverage for their athletes, teams and host agencies. Personnel - The SMSCS utilizes five primary medical groups to cover events. They include: medical doctors, physiotherapists, athletic therapists, chiropractors and massage therapists. Each of these medical disciplines has a specialized sport medicine/therapy division. These specialized sport divisions are in essence the primary medical provider groups of the SMSCS. The SMSCS does however use other professionals as well as students in certain situations. Equipment - The equipment we have available includes: Trainers Kits, Trauma Kits, Treatment Tables, Spine Boards, Air Splint Kits, B Splint Kits, CASM Medisac‟s, Muscle Stimulator Units, Tens Units, Ultrasound Unit, Interferential/Ultrasound Unit, and Metal Scoop Stretchers There are established guidelines to ensure there is continuity for all events, user groups, as well as for those providing coverage at the events. It should be noted, that on rare occasions, variations from these guidelines might occur. Every effort is made to provide all sport groups with the coverage they require, however, there may be times when a request cannot be filled or only partially filled. The SMSCS makes every attempt to provide the requesting agency adequate time to make alternative arrangements for event coverage should this problem arise. 2015 Summary/Highlights 2015 saw the Council involved with many events, twenty-two (22) which required personnel coverage. This was the same as the average of the previous two years, but up significantly from 2011-12 average of 11 events.
25
Four (4) of the largest events were the Canadian Cowboys Association Finals Rodeo, the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association (SHSAA) Wrestling Championships and the U20 Rugby Nationals, all three were held in Regina, as well as the SHSAA Track and Field Championships held in Yorkton.
Medical Equipment Loaner/Rental Program Medical equipment and supplies such as ultrasound machines, sport 1st aid „trainers‟ kits, splint kits, and portable treatment tables are available for rent or loan on a first come-first serve basis. Some restrictions apply. 2015 Summary/Highlights Forty two (42) groups utilized this program which is the exact same number as the previous two years, but up from 2012 (27) and 2011 (28). Drug Education & Awareness Program The SMSCS‟s Drug and Awareness Program is designed to enable the Council to:
1) provide workshops to Western Canada and Canada Games athletes and coaches as well as other high performance groups such as University teams, provincial teams, clubs, and nationally ranked athletes and coaches.
2) provide information and in some cases presentations to PSGB‟s & Sask Games teams.
3) act as a resource for all amateur athletes & coaches on drug education issues (i.e. prohibited substances, testing procedures, sanctions, supplement use, fair play and ethics in sport, alternatives to doping, etc).
4) assist all sport clients in the education and promotion of drug free sport and if requested, the development of sport specific educational programming and policy development.
The SMSCS can also assist organizations in developing drug education policies and programming. Workshops consist of information on:
1. Banned substances and methods 2. Doping Control Procedures 3. Exemption procedures/forms 4. Athlete rights and responsibilities 5. Alternatives to doping 6. Fair play & ethics.
2015 Summary/Highlights The SMSCS provided thirty-four (34) workshops/sessions in 2015, nineteen (19) of which were for provincial teams going to the 2015 Western Canada Summer Games, six (6) for provincial teams going to the 2015 Canada Winter Games, three (3) for other PSGB‟s, and the remaining were individual consults.

D. MAJOR MULTI-SPORT GAMES PROGRAMMING 2015 Canada Winter Games The Council was involved in assisting the athletes and coaches in their preparation for the Games that took place in February 2015 in Prince George, B.C. The majority of the sport science & medicine service was provided in 2014. However some last minute planning did occur during the month of January. Council member A.J. Tabin (physiotherapist) was the Saskatchewan Mission Staff Medical Liaison and the Saskatchewan Mission Staff Science Liaison was Ms. Lisa Hoffart (nee Benz), Staff Mental Performance Consultant. 2015 Western Canada Summer Games The Council had some limited involvement in assisting the athletes and coaches in their preparation for the Games that took place in August 2015 in Fort McMurray, Alberta. The involvement was mainly the provision of Drug Education Workshops in addition to some regular sport science services that were being provided through each PSGB‟s own High Performance Enhanced Services Plan. Council member Nicole Renneberg (athletic therapist) was the Saskatchewan Mission Staff Medical Liaison and the Council contracted Brie Jedlic, Mental Performance Consultant to be the Saskatchewan Mission Staff Science Liaison. (Note: Lisa Hoffart was on maternity leave)

2015 Summary/Highlights The Council received approximately $194,433.24 in funding for services provided this past year. This was a significant increase when compared to 2014 due to the Targeted PSGB High Performance Enhanced Science and Medicine Funding Initiative established by the CSCS in 2015 with assistance from the Council. This programs main objective is to increase the pool of Saskatchewan athletes, coaches, officials and teams who are consistently achieving success at regional, national and international competitions. The main purpose of the program is to increase the strength and conditioning activity of the sports targeted by the program. This includes development, implementation, monitoring and supervision of a comprehensive strength and conditioning program (core strength, weight training, stretching, etc.). Physiological Field and/or Lab Testing are also components of the program. This program was led by the network of strength and conditioning experts currently available to our sports through the Council. Although, strength and conditioning were the primary focus for this new initiative, other service areas were also eligible, including: nutrition, mental training, sport medicine and biomechanical analysis. In total, 24 PSGB groups utilized approximately $84,000 of services through the high performance enhanced science and medicine services through the CSCS. This program primarily only operated for the last 9-months of the calendar year due to the timing as to when it was introduced. The Council Staff participated in the Canadian Sport Centre Saskatchewan Staff meetings which were held on a monthly basis. Travis Laycock, Scott Julé and Mark Henry represented the SMSCS. As well, Kim Dorsch represented the Council Board on the CSCS Management Committee while Travis Laycock represented the Council Staff on the CSCS Management Committee. Scott Julé also assisted the Centre by providing 10 intake and retake interviews/meetings of athletes from southern Saskatchewan, administered the Medical Services/Treatment Reimbursement Program (60 requests from athletes for reimbursement were received), as well as acted as the South Saskatchewan distributor of Pfizer products. The Council was actively involved in setting up services for nationally recognized athlete teams/groups. National funding from Sport Canada through the Own The Podium (OTP) Program was provided to the following group; Team Laycock Curling Team $3,000. The SMSCS was also involved nationally representing the SMSCS and CSCS with the following:
National Sport Science & Medicine Advisory Committee (NSSMAC), Heather Hynes, Staff Nutrition Consultant.
GAME Plan – National Athlete Career Transition Program. Lisa Hoffart, Staff Mental Performance Consultant
Overall, science requests and consulting hours were down when compared to the previous four (4) years. This was mainly due to a decrease in the number of athletes eligible for service and national funding for training groups.
28
Comparison of sport medicine requests and consulting hours are “no longer applicable” since the service of “Injury Assessment / Treatment / Prevention” for the CSCS is no longer available but was included in a previous year. Many of those requests now go through the Medical Reimbursement Program which had a slight increase in requests. CSCS

F. MARKETING, PROMOTION, COMMUNICATION, SPONSORSHIP AND FUNDRAISING Sport Medicine and Science Council of Saskatchewan Legacy Fund
The Sport Medicine and Science Council of Saskatchewan Legacy Fund was established in
2015. The Board of Directors approved the program concept presented by the staff in the
spring. An application was then submitted to Sask Sport Inc. who approved the Councils
submission in the fall. This program was developed by Sask Sport Inc. to assist their member
organizations in implementing a gift giving/fundraising campaign. The program encourages
individuals who have benefited from sport or those who believe in the value of sport to give
something back for current and future generations. Cash, monthly or annual contributions,
gifts in kind or planned gifts are all eligible donations. A complementary “donor incentive
program” has also been developed to assist Provincial Sport Organizations in attracting
donors. Donor recognition and significant tax savings further add to the attractiveness of
contributing to the Fund. The Council received its first donation in December 2015 from Dr.
Jack and Cheryl Alexander. Dr. Jack Alexander is one of the founders of the Council and its
first President. Functional Movement Screen Courses (Level I and II) The SMSCS hosted a Level I and II Functional Movement Screen Course in May that resulted in a profit of approximately $500.00. Web Page & Newsletter
1. The Council began the process of updating and improving our website. The Council hired Scott Gjesdahl (Saskatoon) to develop the new site. He has worked with numerous other sports on their website development.
2. These two communication tools are used to promote our services to athletes, coaches, schools, rec. boards, etc. They also act as a great resource for the SMSCS‟s members and consultants.
29
3. The Newsletter is published 3 times per year and is distributed via email and posted on our website.
4. Advertisement revenue from the Newsletter and website in 2015 was $2,900, which is down a bit from $3,200.00 in 2014.
5. The Council‟s web address is www.smscs.ca. Promotional Brochure/Hand-Out The Council continues to utilize a 1-page (two sided) hand-out that outlines our programs and services. Blood and Body Fluids Rules Hand-Out The Council updated our informational handout on Sport First Aid Rules Regarding Blood and Other Body Fluids and distributed it to all PSGB‟s as well as up loaded to our website. SASM Concussion Info Page SASM developed a Concussion Information Page that was distributed to all al the PSGB‟s and also uploaded to the Council‟s website. Display/Promotional Opportunities
1. The SMSCS attends a select number of events each year to promote the Council and our many programs and services. On other occasions when a staff member cannot attend, we provide the hosting agency with information handouts that can be included in registration packages.
2. Annually, the SMSCS also purchases promotional opportunities (eg. promotional flyer
inserts in AGM packages) with selected organizations that have similar clientele to the Council. Examples include the Saskatchewan Physical Education Association and the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association.
G. ORGANIZATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION Volunteer Recognition The Council retained the same Board composition in 2015 as it had in 2014. Therefore, there was no volunteer recognition in 2015. Strategic and Long Range Planning The Council implemented the 3rd and final year of our 2013-2015 Strategic and Long Range Plan in 2015. A final copy of the plan including a summary of all outcome measurements is available from the SMSCS office upon request. Members and Consultants Professional Development
