Administrator's Award - Karen Aucoin-Smith
Karen Aucoin-Smith, a tireless advocate for school sport and a dedicated leader at Souris Regional School. Karen first stepped into the role of Athletic Director in 2003 as a temporary fill-in — but by 2008, she had officially taken on the position full-time, and she hasn’t looked back since.
Karen oversees both Intermediate and Senior athletics, consistently championing opportunities for student-athletes, especially in smaller schools. Her dedication ensures that every student, regardless of school size, gets the chance to compete, grow, and succeed through sport.
In addition to her role as Athletic Director, Karen wears many hats: she coaches basketball and badminton, helps run and judge track and field events, and is a constant presence at school competitions — making sure things run smoothly for athletes, coaches, and officials alike.
Her commitment extends beyond the walls of the gymnasium or the sidelines of the field. Karen works hard not just for her students, but for the entire Souris community, bringing heart, leadership, and excellence to everything she does.
