What makes a sports town?
2025 is the Year of Sport in Newfoundland and Labrador, a year to celebrate the province’s athletes, volunteers, and inclusive sports.
What makes a sports town?
It’s the summer evening buzz from a game under the lights
It’s the roar of applause from the world’s best cheering section
Corner kicks gliding off a fresh cut field
Goal post glories
Grass stains and friendly competition
Homeruns and maybe a strike out or two
As autumn accents the air
It’s teamwork
It’s giving your all
And it’s simply just trying your best
Sometimes it’s feeling like the fastest person alive
And sometimes it’s moving at your own pace
And for others, it’s catching up with your oldest friends
Over a game you won’t find anywhere else
It’s years of achievements
And those with plenty of years left to achieve
Because here you’re always on the winning team
And we know real winning is just having fun
And knowing you made us proud no matter what
That’s a sports town
That’s Carbonear
Get ready to cheer along!
