Sturgeon Heights pits pros against joes once again

St. James-Assiniboia

Once again, Sturgeon Heights Collegiate invited sports ‘pros’ to take on its fleet of ‘average joes’ in its annual, week-long Pros vs. Joes competition, which raises money to help bring Christmas cheer to local families.

Each lunch period from Dec. 1 to 5, members of the University of Manitoba Bisons, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Winnipeg Rifles entered the high school’s gym and participated in a variety of challenges, from “minute to win it” (pictured) to dodgeball.

To watch the events, students had to make a donation to the school’s Christmas hamper initiative, which helps St. James-based families in need during the holiday season.
