 January 19, 2009 - Moncton
Canada Games
Wheelchair athletes are invited to try out for the New Brunswick team that will compete this summer at the 2009 Canada Summer Games on Prince Eward Island. An initiation clinic was held at the CEPS Louis-J-Robichaud, Université de Moncton, on the weekend for those interested in trying out. The clinic featured Barry Patriquin, 2004 Canadian paralympic champion and 2000 Sydney Paralympic Games bronze medalist in the 4 x 100 metres. The special chairs attracted attention, and participants were impressed by the chair’s manoeuvrability. Front row, from left: Veronica Coombs; Cory MacIntosh; Jonathan Hébert; Kelly Burnett; and Martin Landry.
