Over the weekend the 2015 Special Olympics Manitoba Coaches Conference took place in Winnipeg, and included the organization's annual meeting.

As a 10-pin Bowling Coach with the Valley Rollers Club, Morning Show Host Chris Sumner was at the meeting and weekend conference.

He spoke with President and C.E.O. Simon Mundey, and asked him to reflect on the successes of the past year.

Simon also reflected on the organization's focus on increasing awareness of Special Olympics in our Province, noting many people have heard of the term, but do not know what the group does.

Chris and Simon also discussed why more people should consider volunteering with Special Olympics Manitoba, whether it be as a Coach, Program Volunteer or Event Volunteer.
