Athletes and organizers shared happy memories on the last day of the 2017 Canada Summer Games Sunday.
Max Arsenault, 17, was paralyzed from the chest down after snowboarding a year and half ago.
The athlete from New Brunswick had dreams of going to the Olympics as a kayaker before his life changing injury.
At the games, Arsenault competed in shot put, discus and was invited to take part in a surprise exhibition kayaking race.
"That was my first time competing since my accident for kayaking so that was an incredible feeling crossing the finish line again,” Arsenault said.
Hanna Henderson, 15, likely won't forget Winnipeg anytime soon.
The swimmer took home 11 medals, the most medals ever won in one Canada Games.
"My goal was to just have some fun, meet new people and I got do to that and so much more, so it's been amazing," Henderson said.
The Canada Summer Games also ignited memorable cultural acts.
Saturday performers from Alberta capped off 11 nights of music.
Games organizers and Winnipeg police said there weren't any violent incidents at the festival.
"They were so polite and respectful and they enjoyed the music and culture and they left at the end. I think it's a testament to what a great group of people we have in the city,” said Jason Smith, special events director with the Canada Summer Games.
