Meet Kindersley’s 2025 Valedictorian: Aiden Chachula
Each year at Kindersley Social, we take a moment to check in Kindersley’s valedictorian. This year, we caught up with Aiden Chachula, Kindersley’s 2025 valedictorian! Congratulations to Aiden and to all graduates—we wish you every success in the journey ahead!
Tell us a bit about yourself.
My name is Aiden Chachula, and I was born on July 8, 2007, in Provost, Alberta. I now live on an acreage just north of Kindersley. Over the years, I’ve played hockey, baseball, and soccer. I enjoy fishing, working out, and spending time with friends and family. In the summer, I work at Teine Energy as a summer student, and during the winter, I help my dad with light towers. I’m really grateful for this opportunity to be interviewed.
What was your favourite part of high school?
There are so many memories I could talk about—I could go on forever. But if I had to pick a few, I’d say our Flex Friday lunch outings were some of the best times. My friends and I made it a tradition to go out for lunch every Friday, and we tried every restaurant in town. There is so many great places in Kindersley to eat, I especially like the Coliseum. Also, as I’m writing this, it’s senior prank day—one of the most fun days I’ve had during high school. I’ll always remember it.
What was your biggest challenge during high school?
Balancing hockey and school was definitely the biggest challenge. I played AA hockey out of Unity, so we were on the road a lot. We had practices in Unity every Tuesday and in Kerrobert every Thursday. Almost every weekend, we were traveling somewhere in Saskatchewan for games. It was tough to find time to study and stay on top of schoolwork. I’m proud I found a way to succeed at both, and I’m honoured to have been chosen as valedictorian.
What are your plans for next year?
I’ll be studying Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan.
Why engineering? And what are your future goals?
I chose engineering because I love designing things, and I’ve always been strong with numbers. My dad encouraged me to look into it, and the more I learned about the different career paths within engineering, the more interested I became. My dream is to work as an engineer for an oil company, but if that doesn’t work out, I’ll explore other opportunities. Someday, I’d love to own my own company and buy an acreage somewhere nice.
