Nearly a year after making their debut in the sport, Prince George's Special Olympic athletes are competing in bocce in this year's Special Olympics BC Summer Games.  "We started up last year, because we knew we were going to be hosting provincial games here, and we wanted to make sure we had representation from our City," said Special Olympics Prince George Local Coordinator Peter Goudal. 

Special Olympics means trying new things for local athlete Chase Caron.  Caron is competing in basketball this weekend, the first time she's competed in the sport for Special Olympics.
