The Kinsmen Sports Celebrity Dinner has the distinction of being one the most entertaining and longest running sports dinners in North America. First started in 1960, the dinner brings speakers and entertainers from the world of sports to help celebrate the accomplishments of Saskatoon's local athletes, teams and sports community leaders.
At the dinner we present the Kinsmen Athlete of the Year, the Kinsmen Lloyd Saunders Scholarship, the Kinsmen "Bill Hunter" Team of the Year and the Sportsman of the Year. Through the staging of the Kinsmen annual Sports Celebrity Dinner, now in its 49th year, they made contributions to the history of Saskatoon sports by choosing a Sportsman of the Year every year since 1961 and an Athlete of the Year every year since 1968.
