Ski stars doing us all proud
Carla Lockhart MP • February 21, 2023
Local Member of Parliament Carla Lockhart has paid a glowing tribute to all those who took part in the Special Olympics Ulster Non Advancement Skiing Event at Craigavon Golf and Ski Centre this weekend.
Speaking after the event, the Upper Bann MP said:
“This was a fantastic event and it was amazing to see the talent on the slopes.
Inclusion in sport is so important and Special Olympics Ulster do a fantastic job ensuring sport is open to all. The standards on show at Craigavon today was breath-taking, and I was delighted to have the privilege of presenting medals to all the winners. The event is also testament to the dedication of all the competitors, coaches and parents. They can all be rightly proud of what they have achieved.
Competitors will now head to Poland to take part in further competition. I wish each and every one of them safe travels and every success on the slopes.”
