Opposition Leader to attend Labrador Winter Games

Opposition Leader Yvonne Jones, MHA for the District of Cartwright-L’Anse au Clair, will be attending the Labrador Winter Games being held in Happy Valley-Goose Bay from March 7^th-13^th.  

“I always enjoy attending the Labrador Winter Games and witnessing the tremendous athletes in our region of the province, our traditional sporting activities and the spirit of friendship that is present throughout the games,” said Ms. Jones. “I look forward to meeting the athletes, watching the events and enjoying the Labrador hospitality that is always present amongst our people.

“I also want to recognize the efforts of the hundreds of volunteers who always come forward to make these games a success for everyone involved. Without their efforts there would be no games and their importance cannot be overlooked. The Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay is this year’s host community and I am certain they will do a tremendous job as always in organizing a top notch experience.”

 Over 400 athletes from communities throughout Labrador will participate in the games. Events include target shooting, dogsled racing, snowmobile racing, cross country skiing, snowshoe races, northern triathlon, snowshoe biathlon and the Labrathon.
