He was a teacher and a coach, now he has a gym named in his honour. Former Lake Lenore Lancers teacher and coach, the late Wade Weseen was bestowed the honour of having the Lake Lenore School gymnasium named the Wade Weseen Memorial Gymnasium, posthumously, during a ceremony in the gym on Feb. 11. Val Weseen, who was married to Wade, was on

hand for the ceremony and called the moment incredible. “He spent his whole adult life here. He loved the place and so it’s very fitting and very generous of the school and the community to do that.” Wade spent 33 years as a teacher at Lake Lenore School and another ten years continuing to coach the junior girls basketball team and help coach the senior girls. Curtis Streuby is the coach of the senior girls team and is also a teacher at Lake Lenore School, and says it was a pretty easy decision to name the school in Wade’s honour. “He just had such an influence on so many people. It’s a simple gesture to do and we thought, very meaningful so every time we walk into that gym you’ll be able to read that sign above there because Wade spent so many

hours in this gym.” Strueby notes that Wade built a tremendous basketball program at Lake Lenore and spent thousands of hours in the gym. “You’d be hard pressed to find a man who put in more time and dedicated more time to kids and who was more respected than Wade in the province and in the country for that matter.” That respect was evident during the ceremony as Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association Executive Director, Lyle McKellar was on hand to give a speech as well. McKellar says he knew Wade for 25 years, having coached against him many times before serving on the SHSAA executive council together and McKellar says Wade had a huge influence on not only him but on many others within the SHSAA as well.
