Home

Saskatchewan, "The Land of Living Skies", well known for its amazing sunrises and sunsets, is home to this award winning RIMS chapter. SKRIMS is committed to continuing to offer networking opportunities and provide educational content for our members.

2024 was another very exciting year for SKRIMS and I was honoured to accept a 2024 Chapter Award on behalf of the Saskatchewan Chapter at the RIMS Conference in San Diego. The Chapter was recognized as a 2024 Chapter Award winner by RIMS through the Chapter Recognition Program for our achievements as a chapter in 2023. Having virtual lunch and learns has provided SKRIMS members with the opportunity to hear from risk management professionals across the globe deliver first rate professional development content. 

A special congratulations to our very own Chelsea Andrusiak (Vice President North of SKRIMS) who received the RIMS Rising Star Award at the 2024 RIMS Conference.  This award recognizes an individual that has demonstrated exceptional initiative, volunteerism, professional development, achievement, and leadership potential early in their career.

We were thrilled to announce the launch of the Saskatchewan RIMS Chapter Scholarship and we are excited to award a scholarship of $1,000 to a student seeking a career in Risk Management, Insurance, Cyber Security or Actuarial Science. Our goal is to provide financial assistance, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help individuals thrive in their careers. Must be a Saskatchewan resident and a student member of RIMS to enter. Applications for the 2025-2026 academic year are being accepted until June 30, 2025.
