Special Olympics Ontario Trip to Thunder Bay, Return Trip

Sunday January 23, 2011

Disney's Magical Express arrives at the Airport.  It was time to check our kit onto the plane and go upstairs until Boarding Call.


These items do not belong in a carry-on Bag.  This includes liquids, ammo, knives, toy guns, hand tools, and Handcuffs.

More Items that do not belong in your carry-on bag include gas canisters, sharp objects, fire crackers, and nail files.  Remember to Fly Smart and Fly Secure when you board airplanes

This West Jet is stopping in Thunder Bay to pick up some Special Olympics Athletes.

Fort Williams People dressed up attended our departure.  They said goodbye before passing through the Security Gate.


All Aboard!
The wings of the plane are de iced because there was a big snow storm.

Pulling out of Thunder Bay Terminal aboard Air Canada Route 2004, bound for Toronto.  Arrival at 5:30 PM

The Beaver River.  Kimbercote Farm is not too far away.

Another Air Canada Plane pulling into Terminal 1


Docking at Terminal 1.  Once we were docked, it was time to get our stuff together and get off the plane.


Inside Terminal 1.  It was time to get our kit off the carousel, and meet the school bus.


After a lot walking around the terminal and riding the elevator twice, we finally found our flight to barrie.  The planes (school buses) were parked at Gate P, platforms 6 and 8.

One bus was bound for Collingwood and the other was bound for Barrie and Orillia.  Athleates and their coaches help load the kit onto the buses.  Once the kit was loaded, it was time to board the buses for a 90 minute fight to Barrie.


After a successful flight from Toronto to Barrie, athleates and coaches help unload the bus and than everyone was dismissed and headed home with their parents and friends.

Thank you for reading this blog about my trip to Thunder Bay.  I brought back three Gold Medals in the 1 Kilometer, 500 Meter, and 100 Meter skiing races at the Kamview Nascar of Skiing and Snowshoing.  The events in Thunder Bay were a great success and everyone had a fun time.
