Clarenville is moving closer to the Newfoundland and Labrador Winter Games set for March of 2014.   Our committee has been active for almost a  year and collectively we have spent a lot of planning time so far in making sure that this games will create a lifetime memory for this generation of young people in the province in general and the greater Clarenville region in particular.

It is with this vision in mind that we made a conscious decision to hold the latest key pre-games event in front of the over 700 students of the Clarenville school system.   This group will be our athletes.  This event we saw
  • the release our games logo (developed by Pilot Communications),
  • the Provincial Government presented a cheque for its investment of $350,000, and 
  • Our committee launched a game's slogan challenge.  
Be sure to watch the video (below) to see a clear demonstration of the enthusiasm of our youth!
