A football camp in northern Saskatchewan is on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Saskatchewan Roughriders Northern Football Jamboree has been postponed.

“We regret to inform all football fans that the Northern Saskatchewan Football Roughrider Jamboree has been postponed,” said the Northern Saskatchewan Football League in a post on Facebook. “We are hoping that the CFL schedule will provide a bye weekend in the fall for the Riders to host some kind of event for our players.” 

The camp was scheduled for May 8-9 in La Ronge.

Members of the Riders have travelled to La Ronge for the past couple years to instruct young football players at the event.

Meantime, the Northern Saskatchewan Football League also says the annual Northern Flag Football Tournament has been postponed too.
