Yesterday, Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward and Milton MP Adam Van Koeverden came together at Burlington City Hall with a variety of participants to raise a flag to promote awareness of the Special Olympics. In Milton, the Special Olympics programming began in 1998 with one sport. They've since expanded to 9 different sports where athlete's get together at least once a week to train and play in preparation for tournaments. This year, the organization plans to expand with a new fundamentals program. Jason Agnew spoke with Lauren Lamers, the public relations coordinator for the Milton Special Olympics organization about the expansion to include a wider age group.
