2018 Max Gibb Award recipient Adam Grose |
Now members of the 13 regions can be nominated for an award in Gibb’s name that have been involved in the development and organization of the Games for five or more years. This year, the M.D. of Pincher Creek nominated Adam Grose for the award.
“It means a lot. It’s a once in a lifetime award,” says Grose. “I’m honoured.”
Grose is the Recreation Manager at the Recreation Office in Pincher Creek. He attended his first Summer Games in 2002 as a swim coach and participant for the Pincher Creek Dolphins. Over the years he has been a big part of the games. In 2004, he was the Games Coordinator and in 2014 was part of the organizing committee for the games held in Pincher Creek.
