2019-2020 DIS Awards
Due to Covid-19 there have been many changes to the format of this year’s AGM and DIS awards. For the first time in our association’s history we held the AGM virtually, with all our clubs, board members, and staff meeting online. We’re pleased to let everyone know that things ran smoothly! Being that we were unable to meet in person, means that we have had to call off the DIS Award Social.
While we appreciate and recognize the hard work of all our volunteers, there are always a select few who truly go above and beyond. Every year the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association recognizes extraordinary contributions to snowmobiling by holding the Diamonds In the Snow Awards (DIS).
