St Catharine’s, ON (August 19, 2022): This Canada Games the host society partnered with a local charity to help enrich and bolster the Niagara community. The 2022 Niagara Canada Summer Games Host Society chose the Niagara Children’s Centre. Niagara Children’s Centre is recognized throughout the Niagara Region as the provider of rehabilitation and support services to children and youth with physical, developmental, and communicative delays and disabilities. The Centre is located across the street from Brock University and Canada Games Park, which is a hub for athletic festivities and sport competition.
Team Sask’s athletes Olamide Olaloku and Erika Stockhorst from Athletics, alongside Team Sask Mission Staff visited the Niagara Children’s Centre to deliver over 400 containers of Play-doh to the Centre. Play-doh is used as part of the Centre’s family-centred programs. Core services include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language services, augmentative and alternative communication, family services and therapeutic recreation.
Thank you to all the Team Sask athletes, coaches, parents, and friends that contributed to helping support the children at the Centre.
