Brandon
The fourth Canada Winter Games took place in Brandon, Manitoba. Remarkably, one out of every nine citizens from the small city of 38,000 volunteered to help make the undertaking a success. Brandon proved to the country—and to itself—that it was capable of hosting a memorable event worthy of the Canada Games tradition.
