History of the PEI 55+ Games Society
Since its inception in 1997, the Prince Edward Island 55+ Games Society has been at the forefront of promoting active and vibrant lifestyles for our seasoned citizens. Spearheaded by the visionary efforts of Ted Lawlor and Sharon (Knox) Renner, our society has been a beacon of camaraderie, competition, and celebration.
The inaugural games held in Kensington in 1998 marked the beginning of a cherished tradition that continues to thrive today. Year after year, we are honored to organize both Winter and Summer Games, eagerly anticipated events that bring together participants from across the island.
Our host communities, including West Prince, Summerside, Borden, Cavendish Resort Municipality, Cornwall, Charlottetown, Stratford, and Montague, have graciously welcomed participants and spectators alike, fostering an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality.
In our commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, we have ensured that our Summer Games, held in September, and Winter Games, held in February, rotate among Summerside, Cornwall, Charlottetown, and Stratford. This ensures that all regions of our beautiful island have the opportunity to share in the excitement and spirit of the games.
Moreover, we take immense pride in supporting regional games in Eastern Kings and West Prince, further extending the reach and impact of our mission to promote active living and community engagement.
As we look ahead to the future, we extend a heartfelt invitation to all members of our community, both young at heart and seasoned in experience, to join us in the joyous celebration of the Prince Edward Island 55+ Games. Together, let us continue to inspire, connect, and thrive.
