TSN takes a shine to Heart of the Rockies
NICOLE TRIGG/ECHO PHOTO At the Kraft Celebration Tour event on Monday, August 19th, Heart of the Rockies Triathlon organizer Bruce Stroud was profiled by TSN during the live SportsCentre broadcast that took place at Kinsmen Beach in Invermere, which attracted at least 1,000 enthusiastic people waving signs and cheering loudly for the cameras. 2013 marked the 30th anniversary of the triathlon, which Mr. Stroud started, and he is still competing at the age of 69, making him a likely candidate for the TV feature. Tremendous online support for the Rotary Club of Invermere's Kinsmen Beach Splash Park proposal landed Invermere a spot on the coveted tour, as well as a $25,000 donation towards the project. For full coverage of the Kraft Celebration Tour event, see Friday's Columbia Valley Pioneer.
