Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics

Tuesday, 18 September 2018

Ms SHING — It was such a privilege yesterday to welcome the Law Enforcement Torch Run and the Special Olympians who gathered on the steps of Parliament before setting off on their run to promote the Special Olympics and all of the work associated with bringing better access, equity and opportunity to people living with intellectual disabilities and making sure that they thrive, participate and are included. What a wonderful thing to hand over the torch and to work alongside law enforcement buddies and the people who they are mentoring. Go well in all that you do in the Special Olympics. We are with you and we are so proud of you.
