Special Olympics Battlefords has been enjoying the support of a local fitness centre that offers a cardio program on a weekly basis to about seven to 10 athletes.
Special Olympics Saskatchewan has recognized the impact this program has had on the athletes and wanted to acknowledge the contribution that Snap Fitness has made to the health and well-being of the participants.
Special Olympics Saskatchewan has also awarded a 10-year volunteer service pin to Vidette Engbrecht, who has been the volunteer instructor for the fitness program for the last two years.
Special Olympics is into its fourth year in the Battlefords and has athletes participating in the fitness program, recreational and competitive swimming, competitive synchronized swimming and bowling. Thanks goes out to all the coaches and volunteers who have been key in the success of these programs. Special Olympics welcomes anyone who would be interested in volunteering, coaching a sport or persons of any age who would like to participate in the programs offered.
