The World Dwarf Games are happening in the city of Guelph, about 90 kilometres northwest of Toronto.
This is the seventh edition of the games that welcome all “short-statured athletes with dwarfism from all over the world, from 4-99 years old, to participate,” according to the event’s website.
We’ll tell you more about the events and the results, and 9 year-old Brooklyn Wolfrey, from Rigolet, Labrador, who is competing.
“They’re little people like me and I get to play with them,” Wolfrey, told CBC’s Labrador Morning.
Desiree Wolfrey, the nine-year-old’s mother. said, “It’s great because in Rigolet there’s no one else that’s a dwarf like Brooklyn,”
“So once she gets to meet other people like her, she feels more comfortable, more at home, and it gives her a feeling like she’s not alone.”
