55+ tournament holds diverse sports for seniors in the Battlefords
It’s not just the hurling of the javelin and the toss of the discus which makes the 55+ Provincial Games an exciting event, it’s also a place where competitors can come and flex their mental muscles.
The Don Ross Centre was filled with the keen strategists July 6, eager to try their hand at beating opponents in their favourite games of Kaiser, cribbage and scrabble.
The card and game tournaments are just one part of the Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association’s three-day tournament. The event is held every two years in various regions across the province to challenge the best-of-the-best in both the mental and physical sporting events geared toward the 55+ population.
Ryan Bater, chair of the Battlefords Organizing Committee is a volunteer for the games and also the organizer behind the event.
