Virden and the surrounding area will no longer be hosting the 2018 Power Smart Manitoba Winter Games.
While a large number of volunteers stepped forward to help with the games, many were unable to commit to the length of time required for the games.
Virden mayor Jeff McConnell is disappointed that they won't have the opportunity to showcase the community to visitors, but is excited about the prospect of hosting large-scale events in the future based on the number of interested volunteers.
The Games are now in need of a new host location in time for the 2018 start date and is now reviewing previous bidders and hosts like Thompson, and the joint hosting communities of Winkler and Morden.
