All bowlers worked hard and exhibited great sportsmanship, cheering on their fellow athletes as the spares and strikes were rolled.
Woodstock Bowlacade opened 50 years ago, and some of our current Special Olympics bowlers attended with the Peter Pan School on the very first day.
The Special Olympics organization would like to thank its scorekeepers, send a special thank-you to Bowlacade owners B J and Sarah for their excellent service, and congratulate Woodstock Bowlacade on a big anniversary year.
For 50 years, Special Olympics Canada has enriched the lives of Canadians with an intellectual or developmental disability – of all ages and skill levels – through the transformative power of sport.
Thousands of volunteers, coaches, and officials across the country provide high-quality programming and services to Special Olympics athletes from ages 2 to 70-plus at both the recreational/community and competitive levels.
Special Olympics was founded upon one simple notion: sport has an incredible capacity to transform lives, change attitudes and make communities stronger. By bringing people together, Special Olympics teaches us to recognize our similarities rather than focusing on our differences.
