Give the gift of community!
Your gift helps Canadians with intellectual and developmental disabilities of all ages by creating a safe space where they are respected, valued, and accepted. Special Olympics is a community where everyone is free to be their 100% genuine selves and celebrated for who they are.
Participate or Volunteer in your Community.
For 50 years, Special Olympics Canada has enriched the lives of Canadians with an intellectual disability – of all ages and skill levels – through the transformative power of sport. Thousands of volunteers, coaches and officials across the country provide high-quality programming and services to Special Olympics athletes from age two to 70-plus, at both the recreational/community and competitive level.
Respecting the Game: The Story of Jackie Barrett
Special Olympics Canada has partnered with Canada's Sports Hall of Fame to launch a new curriculum-aligned national education program that will share the Special Olympics story with more Canadian youth while championing the inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in sport and in life.
