Help send local Special Olympics athletes to Nationals

Nine athletes from North Bay will join over 272 athletes representing Team Ontario at the 2018 Canadian Special Olympics National Summer games in Antigonish, Nova Scotia in August.

Athletes have been training hard for many months and the team is fundraising to help cover expenses such as training camps, transportation, accommodation, meals and uniforms.

The community can support our local athletes while enjoying a spaghetti dinner, dance and auction at the Davedi Club on Friday, April 27. Contact Lisa 705-492-7761 for tickets.

Athletes attending the games are Nick Fung, Mike Bailey and Clarista Ardiel (track and field), Chris O’Connor, Susan Lang and Jackelyn Osborne (bocce) Jon Touw and Sharon Kostyk (swimming) and Mandy Demerse (golf).

On April 23, there will be a meet and greet with the local athletes who will also be selling tickets from 6:00pm-7:00pm at Wendy’s on Lakeshore Drive.
