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 they are super excited about their trip.

This is their opportunity to compete on the national stage – a very deserving opportunity to showcase their talent and competitive spirit!

The team is fundraising to help cover expenses such as training camps, transportation, accommodation, meals, and uniforms.

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).  Monday, April 23rd there will be a meet and greet with the local athletes who will also be selling tickets from 6-7 at Wendy’s on Lakeshore.
