Orcas to compete at Canada Summer Games, North American Indigenous Games
Two of the country’s biggest multi-sport competitions this summer will have representation from the Battlefords Kinsmen Orcas swim club.
Brandon Nord, Taylor Parker, and Lindsay Reimer will compete in Winnipeg at the Canada Summer Games (CSG), while Slade Pruden will compete in Toronto at the North American Indigenous Games. Nord and Parker will represent the province on the 12-person male team, and Reimer will compete on the special Olympics team for the second time.
Although both gatherings are large in scale, each featuring thousands of athletes, they are also very different.
The CSG will essentially feature the 12 fastest male and female youth swimmers from each province across the country, which is why Orcas head coach Ally Mcleod knows it will be some stiff competition.
