Nelson’s own Special Olympics champions, Kingsley Deighton and Jiri Kalabis, had a fantastic weekend in Kimberley at the Regional Qualifiers on February 28th!

Kingsley and Jiri represented both Nelson Special Olympics and the Whitewater Ski Team with determination and great sportsmanship. Both athletes had strong performances on the hill, with Kingsley taking home 1st place in Intermediate Slalom and Giant Slalom and Jiri earning 3rd place in Intermediate Giant Slalom.

Their performances have put them in a strong position heading toward the Provincial Games next year. Huge congratulations to both athletes for their hard work and success, and a big thank you to everyone who supports inclusive sport in our community.
Dream big. Work hard. Believe. ⛷️👏

An especially large thank you to Whitewater Mountain Resort, Village Ski Hut and The Whitewater ski team!

Dream big. Work hard. Believe. ⛷️👏

The Nelson Law Enforcement "Jail Bail" , brilliantly organized by Lisa,Tyler, and help from Shawn, was filled with fun, some quick thinking phone calls and a huge pot of gold for our local - More than $10,000 raised to help our athletes participate in competitions, travel, uniforms and events.

Next time you see one of the athletes- ask them about their sport passion- you'll want to know more!
