Meet the Resilient follows the longest-serving Special Olympics Team Canada in history. After 2 years of virtual training due to a global pandemic, and the ultimate cancellation of the Games due to geopolitical turmoil, no Special Olympics Team Canada has seen more obstacles – each faced with determination, perseverance and resiliency.
At the end of their more than 2-year journey, the Team attended Training Camp in Toronto. The weekend marked the first time all 161 athletes, coaches and mission staff could gather as a team.
This is the story of the only Special Olympics Team Canada that never had their moment on the world stage – but showed the world that resiliency is a muscle they’ve been training their whole lives.
