The City of Brandon and the surrounding community have always been, and continue to be, incredible supporters of our athletes and the Special Olympics movement 👏❤️!

Proud moment at City Hall this morning as Councillors Cameron and Splett raised the Special Olympics flag. A powerful reminder of the importance of inclusion, respect, and celebrating athletes of all abilities.
