It was inspiring to watch Special Olympics BC athletes come together from every corner of the province and compete with such heart at Provincial Games. The athletes selected for the #SOTeamBC2026 Training Squad have shown incredible determination, and I know they’ll bring that same drive as they prepare for the 2026 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games.
