If you want to congratulate some Queens County athletes on their recent success, you’ll get your chance on Thursday at Queens Place Emera Centre in Liveprool.

The Region of Queens is hosting a homecoming meet and greet for athletes with Special Olympics Lunenburg/Queens and Brooklyn’s Sarah Mitton.

The Special Olympics Winter Games just wrapped in Calgary and Team Nova Scotia won 30 medals, with many of those won by local athletes.

Mitton won the gold medal in the shot put on Friday at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Glasgow. 

The event begins at 1 p.m. Seating is limited, but it will also be livestreamed on the Queens Place Facebook page.
