With the Renfrew County 2023 Ontario Winter Games less than two months away, major sponsors continue to step up.
County staff met with outside Lépine Apartments in Renfrew on Friday, December 9th as Francis and Pascal Lépine presented them with a $50,000 contribution towards the Games.
Games Chair Peter Emon says he’s thrilled to welcome Lépine on as a major partner and County Wide Sponsor.
Emon added that it’s import that major events like the Ontario Winter Games be held locally as they give Renfrew County the opportunity to demonstrate “what a special place it is to visitors from across Ontario.”
Speaking at the formal presentation of their contribution to the games, Francis Lépine said he believes the Ontario Winter Games will bring some positivity to times marked by “doom and gloom.”
The 2023 Ontario Winter Games are expected to bring in over 2,200 young athletes competing across 24 different sports throughout Renfrew County across two weekends in February and will be run with the help of more than 750 local volunteers.
