Jessica from Labrador City broke the previous 2023 record for over-the-rope in an impressive performance. Then later in the night, Claire Sainsbury broke the newly broken record! Watch the video above!
The entire crowd was on their feet for Jessica and on their feet again for Claire. Labrador is a special place.

Violence Prevention Labrador’s Respect Buffs!
Respect Campaign 2026 – Care is Prevention
As communities gather for the 2026 Labrador Winter Games, Violence Prevention Labrador (VPL) is once again holding the Respect Campaign.
This year, the framing is simple:
Respect — Because how we treat each other matters, especially when we gather.
The Games are about more than sport. They are about community, belonging, friendship, pride, and culture. When we gather, we have powerful opportunities to impact one another.
In Labrador, care has always been part of who we are — how we survive, support, and look out for one another. Through the Labrador Cares Coalition, we recognize care as prevention — not only through programs, but through everyday moments.
The Respect buff is a symbol — not a badge of perfection.It represents a shared commitment to care, connection, and responsibility.
Care is not limited to services.
Care belongs to all of us.

Who taught you what care looks like?
More to come!
