I had the pleasure of helping to send off Canada’s Special Olympics floor hockey team – which hails from Guelph – as they headed to Boise, Idaho for the Special Olympics World Winter Games this morning. These remarkable athletes have already won provincial and national tournaments, and qualified for the national team based on their outstanding performance at the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games held in February 2008 in Quebec City.
Best of luck to these hometown heroes as they try to bring home the gold for Canada!
