Blenheim Gymnast Flying High

A gymnast who first got his start in Blenheim is now a travelling performer with Cirque Du Soleil.

Former National Champion Aaron Charbonneau is now touring with the Amaluna Cirque Du Soleil, which will soon travel through Europe.

Charbonneau was back home recently, and is happy to see the Blenheim Golden Eagles team he started with, are now growing. "I've been in there and not been able to walk through there's so many athletes, and it's an awesome problem to have. To see that many people in that facility means you need to grow and you need to get bigger."

The Golden Eagles are renovating a bigger space in Blenheim. Charbonneau is also working on developing his own facility in Toronto, called Tumble Period.
