A cross-country skier from Fall River, N.S., is celebrating after bringing home three medals from the Canada Winter Games in Prince Edward Island.
Emma Archibald, 19, won two gold medals and one bronze during the Games, which came to a close on Sunday. Nova Scotians brought home 24 medals, including seven gold, seven silver and 10 bronze.
It was Archibald's first time competing in the Games, and she was the only para-nordic skier to be named to Team Nova Scotia.
Para-nordic events include athletes with a physical disability or vision impairment. Archibald won gold in the 2.5-kilometre women's para-nordic standing classic and the five-kilometre women's para-nordic standing free, and silver in the para-nordic standing sprints.
