Players from The Junior Bison’s Basketball Club were challenged by the Special Olympics Manitoba Provincial Basketball Team to help prepare them for the upcoming national championships being held July 8th to 12th in Vancouver. The local Special Olympics team is comprised of 10 dedicated athletes and three coaches who will be representing Manitoba for the first time at the national games.
Athletes from both teams share a passion and commitment to the sport of basketball and will benefit from playing against each other. The experience will reach beyond the sphere of basketball to empower individuals, change attitudes and build communities.
