 Windsor pahl

April 20^th, 2010

Special Olympics Ontario held its first ever Windsor pahl event at the University of Windsor – St. Denis Centre, April 9^th and 10^th, 2010.  The two day event was aimed at promoting the overall health and wellness of people with intellectual disabilities.

 On Friday, April 9^th, 2010, close to 300 students from local schools throughout the Windsor area attended the event.  Participants had the opportunity to Have-A-Go at community sports and to learn about healthy living in a fun and dynamic environment. 

 On Saturday April 10^th, 2010, over 120 participants from the region registered to attend the event. The attendees participated in a number of interactive health booths hosted by local health agencies and visited a variety of sport stations.  In addition, close to 180 free health screenings were also provided by volunteer Podiatrists and Physiotherapists

 This event provided an excellent cornerstone in which to develop future pahl days across the province.   Special Olympics Ontario would like to thank the sponsors, volunteers and local health agencies that made this event possible.
