Gary Losier is looking for a helping hand to officiate in the swimming events for the Canada 55 plus Games in Saint John (Wed Aug 22nd to Fri Aug 24th).

Overall they expect upwards of 2000 athletes from across Canada to participate in 24 different events and we will see approximately 50 senior swimmers participating.
