"Egg"cellent Spring Fitness Testing Extravaganza

Special Olympics NWT hosted our semi-annual Fitness Testing Extravaganza on Sunday April 27th. Over 16 athletes attended with the support of 8 volunteers in addition to Sara Aloimonos from Nourish North and Griffin Douglas from Yellowknife Physio.

Athletes participated in one hour of fitness testing lead by Griffin and a one hour cooking lesson facilitated by Sara. Athletes learned the proper methods and safety practices for preparing and baking high protein egg muffins. Both athletes and volunteers were engaged asking questions including athlete Sydney who wanted to learn more about how they can be reheated.

Our fitness and health related events are made possible by the Special Olympics North America Healthy Communities Impact Grant.
