A little trip through the history of collegiate rodeo at the University of Saskatchewan. 🤠
Dating back to 1983, the Saskatoon Inter-Collegiate Rodeo Club was already bringing students and communities together through the sport, with approximately 400 spectators attending its annual event. Fast forward to 2026, and collegiate rodeo has grown into a Canadian-wide association with approximately 200 members, seven teams and 8–10 rodeos each season.
Like many traditions, the journey hasn’t been without its pauses. After years away, collegiate rodeo returned to Delisle in 2025, and with another event in 2026, a new chapter is being written.
More than four decades separate these newspaper clippings, but the heart of it remains the same: the competitors, the community, the volunteers and the people who believe in keeping this sport alive.
Pretty special to look back at those who came before us and realize we’re now part of the history, too. Here’s to honouring the past while building the future of collegiate rodeo. ❤️
A special thank you to Gerry of Studio West Photographers for documenting and sharing these moments from our 2026 rodeo. It’s because people take the time to capture these events that we get to look back and appreciate just how far this sport has come.
