Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) at the core of Special Olympics Canada

Special Olympics Canada (SOC) and its Chapters recognize and value individual differences in identity, perspective, and lived experience. We encourage and support participation in our organization of all segments of Canadian society and are committed to creating and sustaining a safe, accessible, diverse, and inclusive environment. In doing so, SOC and its Chapters will promote and reflect Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in our governance, programs, and operations.
