Canadian athletes from the province of Quebec have returned home from the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games with a total of 12 medals.
The games were held from June 25 to July 4, with 7,500 athletes living with an intellectual disability representing 185 countries. The week of competition was held in Athens, Greece, home of the ancient Olympic Games, and featured competition in 22 sports.
The south shore was represented extraordinarily well, as St-Jean-sur-Richelieu's Justine Morrier potted two golds and a silver medal in swimming.
An overview of the Special Olympics activities ongoing on the Montreal south shore will be provided here in the near future.
