Sport Special
Initiatives Grant Supports MacDonald-Headingley Recreation
|
|
 Sport Manitoba's Community Development grants are
supporting our communities.
The
MacDonald-Headingley Recreation District (MHRD)recently received a
Sport Special Initiatives grant of $500 in support of their Winter
Active Olympic 2010 event. 368 students
representing six of the schools within the RM of MacDonald
participated in the event held on February 17 in Oak
bluff.
In
advance of the event, each class was assigned a country and given the
materials to make a flag of that country. As countries, they
traveled through a variety of stations representing
"Olympic/Paralympic" events such as bobsledding, snoccer,
smooshing, road hockey, broomball, sledge hockey, jam pail curling,
snowshoe golf and more. MHRD would like to thank the
Society for Manitobans with Disabilities for the instruction
they provided at the sledge hockey station.
Sanford
Collegiate Leadership students provided assistance with the
facilitation of the stations and the evaluating of each team's
performance. Teams earned points towards medals for overall
behavior, teamwork, olympism and sportsmanship/fairplay. The
day also included a complementary lunch sponsored by Starbuck Credit
Union.
Manitoba's
sport delivery system involves thousands of different provincial and
community based sport organizations working to develop greater
participation and to support the achievement of excellence throughout
the entire continuum of sport. Sport Manitoba's support is
focused on addressing the needs of Manitobans at all levels of
participation in sport from grassroots/recreational participants
through to developmental and high perfomrance.
