Alex Gandy blazing hot through 106°F conditions at New Brunswick Games

Fredericton, New Brunswick – July 23-24, 2022 – The two-day New Brunswick Highland Games persevered through parched conditions with temperatures measured at 41° Celsius on the field, with contestants performing before the scenic and historic Government House. There were no major heat related illnesses and the games provided a hydration station and misting stations around the site.

Alex Gandy of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, had a perfect day in the Professional Solo Piping, winning all four events. Adam Tingskou was the Senior Amateur Piper of the Games, and the Junior Amateur aggregate went to Reilly Green.
