CHEERS AND JEERS: Cheers to Team P.E.I.'s Special Olympics contingent

Cheers to Team P.E.I. athletes for their record-breaking performance at the Special Olympics Canada National Summer Games in Medicine Hat. Canada’s smallest province sent our biggest ever contingent, with 72 representatives in eight sports. The team as a whole won 33 medals, including four gold. More importantly, the teamwork and dedication exhibited by the athletes, volunteers, coaches and staff is a source of pride for all the fans who watched from back home. Chef de mission Matthew McNally said, “We came in with the goal of being very proud of where we’re from in Prince Edward Island as well as representing ourselves very professionally and giving it our all on the field of play. I will say that all athletes that came here, as well as the coaches, did a superb job of representing their province and themselves very well on this stage.”
