Special Olympian excited for opportunity across the pond
Aaron Higgins has twice represented his home province of Saskatchewan at the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games.But in 2023, Higgins will don the colours of Team Canada as he has cracked the squad for the 2023 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Berlin, Germany.
In a happy coincidence, Germany happens to be where Higgins’ grandparents, on his mother’s side, are from, so he is excited to see a country with family ties. The powerlifter’s workouts take place at Trench Fitness in Regina and Higgins is personally trained by Tanner Kyle, an employee of the gym.Higgins is known for cracking jokes and making people laugh with his comedic personality but when it comes time to train, he is all business.
Higgins has progressed in his strength as he has continued to train in the powerlifting disciplines of squats, bench press and deadlifts.
