RIPPLE

**RIPPLE Comment** According to Regina Leader-Post (recognized source), an update has been provided on the Saskatchewan Roughriders' 10 off-season tasks list, checking in on which items have been completed and remain outstanding (https://leaderpost.com/sports/football/cfl/saskatchewan-roughriders/sports-checking-in-on-riders-off-season-checklist-january-2026). The direct cause of this event is the Roughriders' organization's efforts to manage their off-season tasks, which may have implications for public consultations in Saskatchewan. Specifically, if the Roughriders' successful completion of certain tasks leads to increased community engagement and participation, it could create a positive precedent for public consultations (short-term effect). This, in turn, might lead to more inclusive and equitable policy-making processes in the province (long-term effect). The causal chain is as follows: Successful off-season management by the Roughriders → Increased community trust and engagement → Improved public consultation outcomes. This event affects the domains of Public Consultations, Policy, Legislation, and Advocacy, specifically in terms of how they are used to promote equity and inclusion. **EVIDENCE TYPE**: Event report **UNCERTAINTY**: This outcome depends on various factors, including the Roughriders' continued commitment to community engagement and the effectiveness of their off-season management strategies. If these efforts lead to tangible improvements in public consultations, it could have a positive impact on policy-making processes. ---
