Active Aging

SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2024 | Active Aging 9 xcitement is building for Manitoba's largest multi- sport event for those aged 55-plus, and this year's presenting sponsor is helping to make it all possible. For the sixteenth year running, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries is the Games' presenting sponsor, with the sponsorship falling under the PlayNow banner. PlayNow is Manitoba's own legal gambling website that launched in January 2013. It provides Manitobans with a safe and fully regulated gaming experience, setting it apart from unregulated gambling websites. In addition, profits from PlayNow stay in the province to support important government programs that benefit all Manitobans. Gerry Sul, president and CEO of Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, shares his excitement for the Crown corporation's involvement in the upcoming Games. "It has been a privilege to continue our sponsorship of the Manitoba 55+ Games," he says. "This event brings value to our communities, and we are honoured to play a role in its ongoing success." For Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, it's important to give back. "Liquor & Lotteries strives to make significant contributions to the economic and social well-being of our province," Sul said. "Giving back in meaningful ways and inspiring community involvement aligns with our goals to enrich the lives of Manitobans." PlayNow's presenting sponsorship — along with the support of other organizations as well as the dedication of the host committee and volunteers — make it possible for Active Aging in Manitoba to put on this exciting annual event. At the same time, the sponsorship helps to provide the facilities and equipment to make the much-anticipated event a success year after year. Through its support for many charitable and non-profit organizations, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries remains committed to supporting the communities where they live and work — including the 2024 Manitoba 55+ Games in Brandon. "Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries chooses to sponsor events that promote quality of life in Manitoba through support of the arts, sport, culture, community, health, social causes, sustainability, diversity and inclusion," Sul says. He adds that Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries also sponsors the event because it brings everyone together, from participants to spectators to business partners. "Not only is the Manitoba 55+ Games a fantastic event to attend, but it's also one that attracts customers to our many business partners in the host community — which together will contribute to tourism, entertainment and hospitality in Brandon during the Games." At the same time, he pointed out a few aspects that make the Games special. "What makes the Manitoba 55+ Games unique is how inclusive and diverse they are," he says. "There are such a variety of activities offered and it provides a sense of belonging for all involved." This year, the Manitoba 55+ Games run from June 18 to 20 in Brandon. The event draws participants, volunteers, and spectators from across the province to enjoy a jam-packed schedule of activity, entertainment, and exercise.
