After Sunday’s opening ceremonies took place in a packed Civic Centre, the 2018 Saskatchewan Winter Games began in full Monday with a number of events around the Battlefords.
It’s been a strong start for the host Rivers West team as they sit in second place in the medal standings with 14 medals, as they nabbed six golds, five silvers and three bronzes during the opening day of action.

Silver medals for the district were won by Lashburn’s Gabby Schmalz (slalom U12 female), Battleford’s Jesse Jamieson (slalom U12 male), Landis’ Harley Harris (slalom U16 female), Lloydminster’s Brooklyn Bloch-Hansen (female -53 kg judo) and Battleford’s Deacon Gubbe (male 50 KG weightlifting).
Lloydminster’s Marissa Howdle (female -40 kg judo), North Battleford’s Spencer O’Neill (male 50 kg weightlifting) and Lloydminster’s Kaibrie Lumbard (synchronized swimming figures co-ed) all captured bronze medals.
