RECOMMENDATION:
That the information report entitled 2003 York
Region Seniors Games Medallist be received;
And that Council recognize the Markham resident
medal winners at the 2003 York Region (Ontario) Seniors Games at the September
16, 2003 Council meeting.
PURPOSE:
To
recognize the accomplishments of Markham older adults who won medals at the
2003 York Region Senior Games. Fourteen
individuals won eighteen medals at the 2003 Games.
BACKGROUND:
The York Region (Ontario) Senior Games is held annually throughout York
Region. Each municipality hosts two or
three games and Markham hosted four-handed Bid Euchre at the Seniors Centre and the
Prediction Walk at Toogood Pond. Over 430 participants competed in 22 events in late May and June. Further approximately 100 older adult
volunteers organized the games. All
nine municipalities provided facilities, financial support and staff working in
partnership with Service Clubs and the private businesses to make the Games a
success.
The medal winners and all the
participants are another excellent example of how older adults are a key
component of a vibrant community. They
not only play in the community but also continue to contribute to make Markham
an excellent place to live, work and play.
The following Markham Residents won medals at
the 2003 Senior Games:
