The partnership was instigated by a UTC member who happened to be in Neepawa during the 55+ Games in 2014. “He came back and he was pretty excited about the games,” says Chrisp, who was enlisted to present the idea of hosting the games to the Rotary Club. The Host Committee is now working on firming up centralized locations for events he expects to draw more than 1,000 participants. The 55+ Games represent the largest annual multi-sport event in Manitoba, challenging the stereotype that seniors don’t stay active into

their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond. Competitive events range from golf and tennis to Scrabble, card games, snooker, floor curling/ shuffleboard, slo-pitch and pickleball. But for many volunteers and participants, it’s the social atmosphere that makes the games a success year after year, and the annual Variety Concert and Athletes’ Banquet are among the highlights. The Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries 55+ Games are open to any Manitoban who is 55 or older by Dec. 31, 2016. 2016 is also a qualifying year for the Canada

55+ Games, which will be held in Brampton, Ont., in August 2016. Manitoba participants who wish to compete in the national games can qualify in Brandon. Visit the 55+ Games page on the ALCOA- MB website at www.alcoamb.org. News and information on how you can be involved will be posted over the coming months. ● Track and field competitions and indoor floor curling/shuffleboard are among the events.
