Special Olympics Nor-Man Region athletes are seeing great success in their provincial competitions.

That has seen a number of them invited to participate in the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games in Calgary in late February.

Marlene Enberg, Regional Leader, provides details here.

"Mervin Linklater will be competing in the five pin bowling, Shane Dysart-Wood, Michael Harrison and Amiee Chubb will be competeing in the snowshoeing event and Fate Frank and Cory Beardy will be representing the Norman Region in cross country skiing."

In the lead up to the Calgary games, the Nor-Man Region will host a competition at Mystery Mountain on January 20th, with athletes from Winnipeg and the north competing in cross-country and Alpine skiing.

Enberg says the local group is in need of volunteers to act at time-keepers and spotters.
