The 2022 Glengarry Highland Games returned to Maxville, Ont. for the first time since 2019, expected to bring in thousands of visitors to eastern Ontario.
The Glengarry Pipes and Drums welcomed people at the front gate, kicking off the games to much applause.
The last two years the games were held virtually, but it just wasn't the same for participants and viewers. "We try to keep the infield busy all the time so the people that pay their money to get in can enjoy the show," said Heavy Events Director Rod McLeod. "The budget to put this event on is a million dollars, so the economic spinoff for the area, SDG, and Cornwall, Ottawa, Montreal even, every hotel is booked," he said.
