Metro Guys Take on the World
Things are heating up in Vancouver and we are readying to welcome 10,000 athletes to the World Police & Fire Games. The Games are introducing us to newer events like Ultimate Firefighter and Toughest Competitor Alive, but don’t worry basketball is still alive and well.
In fact, a few of our very own men in uniform will be taking on the world in the 3×3 and 5×5 basketball tournaments up at SFU from July 31 – Aug 9. Come up and catch the international bball display with representatives from Italy, Bermuda, Hong Kong, Spain, Finland and the US. But, if you can only make time to trek up Burnaby Mountain once, be sure to catch the 5×5 finals on August 9th, where we hope to see Navi Sekhon, Bob Hielttes and Eric Butler take the gold from the likes of top ranked LAPD, FDNY and Toronto Police teams.
Check out the full schedule of events: www.2009wpfg.ca. For those of us who can’t compete, there is always the beer gardens: Vancouver Convention Centre and Burnaby Lake Sports Complex.
