The SAASE Glen Duck Legacy Scholarships
Glen Duck served as the Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies and Exhibitions (SAASE) from 2005 to 2025, leaving behind a remarkable 20‑year legacy of leadership, innovation, and dedication to agriculture in Saskatchewan. Throughout his tenure, Glen was a driving force behind the growth and strengthening of agricultural societies across the province, always championing programs that educated, protected, and inspired communities.
Among his many accomplishments, Glen was instrumental in the development and expansion of impactful initiatives such as the Safety Day Program and province‑wide agricultural education programming. These programs reached countless youth, families, and community members, emphasizing the importance of farm safety and fostering a deeper understanding of Saskatchewan’s agricultural roots. Glen’s unwavering commitment ensured that agricultural societies remained relevant, vibrant, and connected to the next generation.
Glen Duck’s passion for education and his belief in the importance of agriculture as the backbone of Saskatchewan were evident in everything he did. His dedication to teaching and mentorship has had a lasting impact across the province and continues to influence the future of agriculture today.
In recognition of his outstanding contributions and lifelong commitment to agricultural education, SAASE is proud to establish the Glen Duck Legacy Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded in his honour to deserving young agricultural enthusiasts who are pursuing post‑secondary education in Saskatchewan. Through this scholarship, Glen’s legacy of learning, leadership, and service will continue to inspire future generations.
SAASE will continue to use the proceeds from the silent auction and 50/50 draws at the convention to assist in funding the program. Over the last few years the silent auction has grown with both the number of items, as well as the support that we receive from convention delegates. A big thank you goes out to everyone for their continued support of this great program.
