12 ACTIVE AGING WEEK | SEPTEMBER 25 - OCTOBER 1, 2016
When the first Manitoba 55 Plus Games were staged in 1983 the
notion of active aging was still something of a novel concept.
Although that's hardly the case anymore, the co-ordinator of
the province's biggest multi-sport event for older adults says the
Games are just as relevant today as they were three decades ago.
"I would say there's even more of a need for an event like the Games
now," says Manitoba 55 Plus Games co-ordinator Karyn Heidrick.
