Premier Furey attended the closing ceremony of the Lab. Winter Games and had these words for those in attendance.
“For the first time in four years, athletes, coaches, families and communities from across the Big Land came together in Happy Valley-Goose Bay to participate in the Labrador Winter Games.
Congratulations to the athletes, the board of directors, the event organizing committees, and more than 400 volunteers who delivered a fabulous event. A huge shout out to sponsors for their valued support.
Our government understands the benefits of activities that promote our mental and physical wellness, and the value of preserving our heritage. We are proud to be the primary funder of the Labrador Winter Games.
Before the Premier officially closed the Games and athletes started returning home, planning for the next Games had already begun.”
