Beginning in 1996, Sask Rugby began recognizing the contributions of its many volunteers through annual Volunteer Recognition Awards. This award program inducted 4-6 key contributors to the Volunteer Recognition Hall of Fame each year to acknowledge the huge role volunteers and community members played in the growth and development of rugby in Saskatchewan. 

Today the Volunteer Recognition Program lives on with the Sask Rugby Annual Awards, acknowledging 7 outstanding members for their contributions in coaching, officiating, rugby development, and sport.
