National Awards

Each year, since 1989, Special Olympics Canada has recognized its incredible athletes, coaches and volunteers from across the country who exemplify the spirit and essence of the movement at our National Awards Night.

These awards celebrate the heart and soul of Special Olympics Canada—our extraordinary athletes, dedicated coaches, and selfless volunteers from coast to coast to coast. These champions exemplify the true spirit of inclusion, determination, excellence and sportsmanship that defines our movement.
