PWOS Farewell

 At the 2021 AGM for Prairie Women on Snowmobiles, an extensive discussion was held about the future of the organization. Since 2014 it has become harder to fill the rider positions, as well as the positions for the executive. In 2016 the length of the ride was shortened hoping that would help and in 2018 the number of riders required was also lowered. All of these adjustments did not help our situation.

As a result, a resolution was made to dissolve Prairie Women on Snowmobiles. It was voted on and passed. It is with a very heavy heart that I have to announce that PWOS will be dissolved and discontinued.

This is disheartening news but PWOS has had a successful 20 years of raising funds and awareness for the early detection of Breast Cancer and every member, pit crew, executive and corporate sponsors who has ever participated with this amazing organization should be extremely proud of the accomplishments that we have been able to achieve. We have raised $2,532,968.31 for the CCS (Canadian Cancer Society) for research as well as $436,000.00 for the CFS (Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan) for the purchase of equipment that stays in the province. We have visited 198 communities, have had 164 amazing women riders, and 37 awesome pit crew with 25 strong women sitting on the executive. The hundreds of corporate sponsors over the years and the thousands of volunteers who have helped us with meals, coffee stops, and leaders also share in the pride that we all share over these amazing achievements that we have had, many of these volunteers have come to us though our Saskatchewan Snowmobile Clubs.

The executive would like to humbly thank each and every one of the people who have ever been involved and extend our deepest gratitude for all that you have done for this wonderful organization.
