Athlete Leadership Council

The Canadian Athlete Leadership Council (CALC) is a group of experienced athlete leaders who provide athlete representation and an athlete voice at the national level. The CALC is comprised of one athlete leader from each provincial/territorial Chapter. This forum for athletes provides an opportunity to discuss various topics with each other and with the national leaders and leadership bodies.

Their responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Providing feedback on ideas, policies and relevant issues identified by Special Olympics Canada senior leadership and staff.
• Providing ideas on issues the CALC has identified to senior leadership.
• Promoting Athlete Leadership, an off-the-field training program that equips athletes with the tools to undertake positions of leadership within their community and the broader movement in Canada.
• Gaining leadership training and experience.
