Monday night the results were in! Canada voted for Jamie Sale and Craig Simpson as the Battle of the Blades Champions. Congratulations to Jamie and Craig and THANK YOU to everyone who voted. Jamie and Craig skated beautifully through all rounds of the competition.
The real winner here though is the Spinal Cord Injury Treatment Centre Society (SCITCS) The champions of The Battle of the Blades were awarded $100,000 to go to the charity of their choice. Jamie and Craig selected the Spinal Cord Injury Treatment Center Society in Edmonton, Alberta as their charity!
Louise Miller, President of SCITCS has said that the winnings will go towards a special Spinal Cord Injury Chair at the University of Alberta.
Established in 1987, the Spinal Cord Injury Treatment Center provides opportunities to people with a spinal cord injury through four main facilities:
