From August 2-3, we had the privilege of witnessin

From August 2-3, we had the privilege of witnessing an exhilarating display of talent and teamwork as the World Police & Fire Games took center stage in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Amidst the spirited camaraderie of law enforcement, firefighters, and police officers from across the globe, one inspiring story stood out – the remarkable contribution of women in dodgeball.

Our Vice President, Jenna-Dee Sanche, played a role as part of the officiating team, ensuring fair play and sportsmanship throughout the intense matches. The event brought together over 8,500 dedicated athletes, each representing their respective nations with pride and passion.

The dodgeball competition, a highlight of the multi-sport event, showcased the power of unity and skill. Organized by Dodgeball Manitoba, the provincial body of Dodgeball Canada, this event welcomed nine spirited teams from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Czechia, Germany, and the United States.

In a display of Canadian dominance, the medal rounds saw the Beavers clinch the gold medal, a collective effort of players hailing from Ontario, BC, and Manitoba. The Montreal Mighty Dodgers from the Montreal Fire Department secured a hard-fought silver, while the Brandon B-52’s from the Brandon, Manitoba Fire Department proudly took home the bronze.

A truly exceptional feat emerged as Judith Vee, representing Canada, stood tall as the sole female athlete to medal in the dodgeball category. Her achievement signifies not only her personal dedication but also the growing recognition of women's capabilities in traditionally male-dominated sports.

This event exemplified the power of diversity and inclusivity, with women making a remarkable impact on the dodgeball court. Their skills, dedication, and passion are a testament to the progress we're making towards a more equal and representative sports world.

Let's give a resounding applause to all the teams, athletes, and organizers who made this event an unforgettable celebration of athleticism and camaraderie. Together, we continue to break barriers and shatter stereotypes, showing that in the world of sports, there's a place for everyone to shine!
