More than 50 local Special Olympics athletes were recognized for their accomplishments during a celebration banquet held on July 27.

Athletes from the New Liskeard Special Olympics program were honoured for their participation in bowling, T-ball, track and field, and swimming, while volunteers were also recognized for the time and dedication they invest to make the programs possible.

The evening also included exciting news for the organization, with bocce announced as a new team sport that will launch this fall, creating another opportunity for athletes to stay active and connected.

One of the evening's biggest celebrations was reserved for local swimmer Kayla Marwick, who will represent the region at the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Medicine Hat, Alberta, from August 9 to 16.

Kayla will compete in the 200-metre butterfly, 50-metre freestyle, 50-metre backstroke and 50-metre butterfly. She is also hoping to earn a spot on Team Ontario's relay team.

Kayla was also recently elected to the Special Olympics Ontario Athlete Leadership Council, giving local athletes a voice at the provincial level while continuing to compete at the highest levels of the organization.

The New Liskeard Special Olympics program is always looking for volunteers to help support athletes throughout the year. Those interested can learn more by visiting the New Liskeard Special Olympics Facebook page.
