National Games

An action shot photo of a soccer match. Four athletes can be seen on the soccer field playing soccer. One player in a white jersey has possession of the soccer ball and is approaching the net. The goalie in the net has his arms out ready to guard the net. Two players in green jerseys are defending the net and running towards the player in possession of the ball.

Special Olympics Canada hosts National Games every two years, alternating between summer and winter. Athletes from across Canada compete in various sports over the course of a week with the goal of achieving personal bests and in some cases, the opportunity to be named to Team Canada for the proceeding World Games.

Special Olympics Games are an important part of our organization’s history, identity, and athlete journey. Our team will be working hard to rebuild our Games pathway so that athletes and District teams can once again reach towards their competitive goals.
