I am sending this email of my own accord, independent of the Special Olympics organization. On January 31/February 1st, the Ontario Winter Games will be held in Barrie, Ontario with cross country ski events at Horseshoe Resort. At this point, there is a need for volunteers at this venue, especially experienced race officials. If there are any contacts with whom you may share this information, and who you feel might be interested in participating, please forward it. The contact for volunteers is Ms. Pat Ives, 705-835-3740, patives@sympatico.ca . Thank you for your consideration. Hellaina VanErp-Rothenburg, Assistant Coach, Barrie Nordic Striders Special Olympics Team.
