Fresh off winning two bronze medals at the 2025 Special Olympics World Winter Games, Carter Simpson will be at the centre of a celebration on April 10 at Konzelmann Estate Winery.

The free celebration, running from 4 to 7 p.m., offers Niagara-on-the-Lake residents a chance to meet Simpson, congratulate him, get autographs and have a complimentary glass of sparkling wine.

Niven said Carter’s unwavering dedication and passion for his sport inspired the winery to honour him.

“Qualities that inspire us all,” he said.
