MANITOBA'S newest sports facility marked its grand opening Thursday by honouring the province's oldest active athlete.
At the grand opening of Sport Manitoba's new Sport for Life Centre, Premier Greg Selinger awarded the Order of the Buffalo Hunt to Jaring Timmerman.
Timmerman is the 100-year-old swimmer who broke several world records over the last year. He now holds records for 50- and 100-metre backstroke and freestyle categories in his age group.
Also on hand were Eric Robinson, Manitoba's minister responsible for sport, Paul Robson, chairman of Sport Manitoba's board of directors, Olympic champion Jennifer Botterill and Sport Manitoba president and CEO Jeff Hnatiuk.
