Dear Editor,
June 29-July 1 Bowen Island Gymnasts Senior Team travelled to Calgary to compete for a spot on the Canadian National team going to the 2015 World Gymnaestrada event in Finland. National and World Gymnaestrada events are held every four years and feature multi-gymnastics disciplines of artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, circus and acrobatics team routines
Despite the fact that this Bowen Island Team lost crucial gym-time due to the teacher’s strike two weeks before the event, the team of girls ranging between nine and eighteen years of age rallied and put in an exceptional team performance to qualify for the 2015 World Gymnaestrada Event in 2015.
