Snowshoeing Fun! January 31st, 2016 the Snow Cats took to the trails for a Sunday morning trek through sunnidale park. Joined by CTV Barrie, the athletes showed off their skills and in the true nature of Special Olympics had an amazing time!  Special thanks to BTTE! The Brothers to the End motorcycle club came on board with SOO-Barrie in 2014, to show their support for our athletes. Their efforts saw funds raised, that resulted in a new community-wide uniform purchase. Athletes from all sports look great in their new jackets.
