Coaches

Coaches act as guides and mentors for the Leadership Saskatoon Learning Teams which are formed in January of each year. The purpose of the Learning Teams is to provide an opportunity to engage in deep learning where participants can apply the content they are learning at challenge days to a topic they have chosen as a team. We are very pleased to have the following individuals participate as coaches for our program.
