Two longtime champions of archery in the region are being recognized for the lasting impact they’ve made both on the sport and the community.

Lac La Biche County Council recently honoured Rene and Pauline Schaub for their exceptional contributions, highlighting more than 30 years of leadership with the Lakeland Archers.

 

 

Building a reputation on the world stage

Through their involvement, the Schaubs have helped put Lac La Biche County on the map in the archery world.

Their work has played a key role in attracting and hosting:

• Provincial competitions
• National-level events
• World championship events

These events have not only elevated the local archery scene but have also brought recognition to the region as a destination for high-level competition.

 

Supporting athletes at every level

Beyond hosting major events, the Schaubs have been deeply involved in developing athletes of all ages and abilities.

From beginners picking up a bow for the first time to experienced competitors pursuing excellence, their influence has helped grow participation and skill across the community.

 

A lasting community impact

Council’s recognition reflects more than just success in sport — it speaks to the broader role the Schaubs have played in strengthening community connections.

Their decades of volunteerism and leadership have helped build a welcoming, inclusive environment where people can come together through sport.

Recognizing dedication

As Lac La Biche County continues to invest in recreation and community development, contributions like those of Rene and Pauline Schaub remain a cornerstone of that success.

Their impact is not only measured in events or achievements, but in the generations of athletes and community members they have helped inspire.
