WELCOME TO SPECIAL OLYMPICS BC
Since 1980, Special Olympics BC (SOBC), a registered charitable
organization, has provided high-quality sports programs and
competitions to meet the needs and interests of individuals with
intellectual disabilities, enriching lives, and celebrating
personal achievement through positive sport experiences.
Today, over 3,500 athletes participate in Special Olympics BC
sports programs in 55 communities across British
Columbia. Special Olympics BC offers year-round programs
in eighteen sports, as well as local, provincial,
national, and international competitive opportunities. These sport
opportunities provide athletes with far more than the physical
benefits of improved health and athletic ability. The participation
in sport provides opportunities for athletes to develop social
skills, cultivate friendships, strive for and achieve goals, and
increase their self-esteem -- enabling athletes to win
in sport, and in life.
