Every year for the Canada Games, two coaches of aboriginal ancestry from each province and territory are selected to attend the Games in apprenticeship roles. The goal is to develop coaching capacity within aboriginal communities and to provide a well-rounded professional development opportunity.

Congratulations to Scott Antaya (Hockey) and Ashelle Dick (Badminton) who will represent Manitoba at the 2019 Canada Winter Games!

Name: Lucas Smith
Sport: Biathlon

Lucas was instantly hooked when he first tried biathlon. Now, a few years later he's on his way to the biggest amateur sport competition in Canada.

"For the 2019 Games, I'd like to put Manitoba back on the map for biathlon. I want to finish within the top 5 in at least one of the events and it would be really amazing to achieve a podium finish!"

Quick, nutritious and protein-packed Manitoba Chicken Recipe

A new delicious twist on traditional meat loaf. Manitoba Chicken's Mini Chicken Meatloaves are delicious, quick to make and packed with protein and veggies. They are a perfect supper entrée and leftovers are excellent for lunch or a post-game snack.

Studies show that good nutrition plays a huge role in performance success. When athletes are well-nourished, they are more likely to perform better, have more energy and tend to gravitate towards low-nutrient snacks less often.

For many parents of athletes, rigorous training and game schedules can make the supper time rush a source of stress, but it doesn't have to be. Recipes don't get any easier than mixing all of the ingredients in one bowl, dividing into muffin cups, baking and enjoying with potatoes and steamed veggies.
