Special Olympics Canada is thrilled to announce that volunteers from across the country have received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers.

This honour celebrates and acknowledges great volunteers who contribute to communities and selflessly offer their time and effort.

The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers is given out by the office of the Governor General, who is a Patron of Special Olympics in Canada.

Volunteers are the backbone of the Special Olympics Movement and we could not be more excited to have the volunteers listed below recognized with this incredible award. Congratulations to all!
