Our Policies and Publications

Special Olympics Canada is currently developing Pan-Canadian Policies and Procedures that Special Olympics Newfoundland & Labrador will adopt to keep in alignment with the rest of Canada.

Like any organization, we have a detailed series of rules and regulations to ensure that our programs and services are run in a uniform and appropriate manner. These policies, procedures and guidelines also ensure equitable treatment of all those who choose to be involved with Special Olympics, as well as reputable business practices within our daily operations.

If you have any questions regarding our Policies & Procedures, please contact our Executive Director or our Program Director.
