Sport Manitoba has been developing Manitoba’s athletes since 1996 and we want to recognize the role they’ve played in the careers of the many athletes on Team Manitoba who excelled at the 2022 Canada Summer Games.

Through their many programs, facility services and resources, Sport Manitoba is instrumental in developing athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers in amateur sport in our province. Their contributions cannot be overstated; their dedication to sports in our province has ensured fun and fulfilling sports endeavours for athletes of all ages.

Among the many incredible athletes who participated in the 2022 Summer Games, two local athletes have been chosen to represent Sport Manitoba as 2022 Grand Marshals. Madi Lawrence and Teagen Purvis will be leading our parade procession this year and representing the best of amateur sport in our province.
