This month, Special Olympics athletes from across the country competed at the 2022 Canada Summer Games in Niagara.

The Canada Games are separate from the Special Olympics Canada Games. They are Canada’s largest multi-sport event and have included athletes with disabilities since 1993. Over the better part of the last 30 years, athletes from both Paralympics and Special Olympics have competed in select sports in both the Summer and Winter Games. 

Inclusion in the Canada Games gives Special Olympics athletes the chance to shine in front of their peers from generic sports, and gain experience at major competitions. Special Olympics athletes compete in their own sport divisions and give their all as members of provincial/territorial and regional teams alongside generic athletes, coming together in unified team spirit. For the 2022 Canada Games, Special Olympics athletes were selected to compete in Swimming and Athletics - see all results from events listed below.>

Please join us in congratulating our Special Olympics athletes and the more than 5,000 participants on an incredible showing at this year's Canada Games!
