Athletes in the Parkland are supported by fundraisers such as the Polar Plunge.
Taking place this Saturday, the Polar Plunge is raising money for Special Olympics Manitoba
Darren Anderson, Manager of law enforcement torch run and partnerships with Special Olympics Manitoba, says these activities support the dozens of athletes here at home.
“Provincially we have over 17 hundred athletes. In the Parkland region alone we have 54. In Dauphin, we have 15-25 and that’s just on the floor hockey program. Around the region, we have bowling in Winnipegosis, Russell, and Swan River. Snowshoeing in Russell and Swimming in Swan River.”
