These athletes from Virden and across SW Manitoba participated in the Manitoba Winter Games March 4 - 10 in Thompson, MB.
Some came home with medals galore, like Virden speed skater Kennedy Charles. Some came back having notched personal bests, made new friends and chocked up lots of valuable competitive experience. We're proud of them all!
