For a fourth year in a row, 91原创 students received top honours at the annual Operation Trackshoes event held in Victoria, placing first among competing high schools and winning the Camosun College trophy.

Operation Trackshoes is a unique sports festival for people with developmental disabilities celebrating its 42nd year with a full length competitive track and field meet, a number of family picnic type games, swimming, softball, basketball, dances, concerts and banquets.

The 91原创 team consisted of students in Grades 8-12 from Brookswood Secondary, D.W. Poppy Secondary, Walnut Grove Secondary and Aldergrove Community Secondary, who celebrated and competed in the three-day event.

However, winning wasn鈥檛 the only reward for competing athletes and coaches. Neil Campbell a Special Education Assistant from BSS who volunteered as a coach for the first time said, 鈥淭his was an amazing experience for these kids and it really puts your life in perspective when you experience something like this first hand.鈥�  Rebecca Vandermey a Special Education Assistant from D.W. Poppy who also volunteered for the first time stated,

鈥淚t was incredible to see these kids compete. I had so much fun, I want to go again next year.鈥�

Sam Way, a very inspirational student from ACSS said, 鈥淚 always want to try my best.鈥�
