    SOBC athletes and coaches set sights on the 2026 BC Winter Games

    Special Olympics BC is thrilled to send speed skating athletes and coaches to the 2026 BC Winter Games in Trail/Rossland from February 25 to March 1! 

    They join around 1,200 athletes competing in the sports they have trained tirelessly for.   

    While not a Special Olympics event, the BC Games proudly includes Special Olympics athletes competing alongside top young athletes in the province. The BC Winter Games are separate and different from Special Olympics BC Games and Special Olympics Canada Games. 

    Our athletes will compete to the best of their ability and will proudly represent Special Olympics and their regions at the event. Good luck, team!
