Law enforcement carries the torch for Special Olympics
Proving to students there really is no such thing as a disability, local law enforcement agencies come out en masse to support Special Olympians.
Representatives from a number of outlets including city police, RCMP and Corrections participated in this year’s annual Law Enforcement Torch Run.
“We felt it was important that the students can see hands on what these athletes are like,” Stephen Hug said, the chair of the Prince Albert and District Law Enforcement Torch Run. “We do lots of talks at the hot dog sales too, today it’s just to get out and run around with the students.”
Hug said the torch relay stretches between nine schools in Prince Albert and Red Wing School to the north. A total of $3,000 was collected amongst all the schools through a series of hot dog lunches.
