For more than 40 years, Carol Soles has been dedicated to volunteering, fundraising, coaching and taking the lead on various committees to help benefit a number of sporting activities and events in Prince Albert and area.

Carol served as a director on the Prince Albert Sports Council from 1985 until the organization ceased operation in 2025. She held a variety of positions including president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer and was also very hands-on with many of the Sports Council’s capital projects, with the largest one being the Summer Games Sports Centre. She sat as the Sports Council’s representative on a number of committees throughout the city including the City of Prince Albert Parks and Recreation board, Terry Fox Award Selection committee, Community Grant committee and Summer Games Sports Centre tenants’ group. Carol also took the lead role in organizing the Prince Albert Sportswoman of the year award.

The Prince Alberts Sports Hall of Fame board benefited from Carol’s skills from 1990 until 2025 where she held various positions as a director including vice-president, secretary and treasurer, while also sitting on a number of sub committees from constitution to decorating.

If there was a big event in Prince Albert, there’s a pretty good chance you would see Carol volunteering; having lent a hand for the Saskatchewan Winter and Summer games, the Western Canada Summer games, Junior Men’s World Softball Championships and the Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association (SSFA) 55+ games.

Carol’s commitment to the community hasn’t gone unnoticed as Carol has received many awards including the YWCA Woman of Distinction Award for recreation, sport and active living, Saskatchewan Centennial Medal, North Central Regional Recreation Association, volunteer recognition award, City of Prince Albert Award of Merit and Big Brothers Big Sisters, Big Sister of the year.
