Special Olympics tourney at SCI

The Huronia West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) had the privilege to assist our local Special Olympic athletes host the first ever basketball tournament held at the Stayner Collegiate Institute in Stayner.

On March 9, teams gathered from Collingwood, Owen Sound, Thornbury, Orillia, South Simcoe and Toronto totalling over 120 athletes who competed in a fun day of basketball. These athletes showed incredible athletic skills and played with great sportsmanship taking an opportunity to showcase their talents in front of friends and family.

The outcome was a huge success thanks to the efforts of all the volunteers including first responders who had the privilege of helping with first aid and score keeping. Huronia West OPP would like to extend its gratitude for being included in such an incredible event and look forward to next year being even bigger and better. GO EAGLES!
