55+ athletes shine

Date:

Brandon was the host of this year’s Manitoba 55+ Games June 18-20, and our region was certainly well represented.

A complete list of medal winners was not yet available at press time, but the 55+ bowling team from Carman (below) made up of Randy McFarlane, Laurie Wiebe, Jacquie Russell, Bob Wilson, and David Dyck brought home gold in their event, while the Rock Lakers Slo-Pitch team from Manitou won silver.

The Games, hosted by Active Aging in Manitoba, are the largest multi-sport event in the province for those age 55+, bringing together athletes to compete in a wide range of sports.
