- The Special Olympics Program and Leadership Staff will determine each sport status based on weekly monitoring.
- A sport will be categorized in Stage 1 if the facility requirements do not allow for activities, or if the sport specific plan is still in development.
- Communities can operate programs in lower levels than provincially stated if prudent, but MAY NOT operate programs any higher than provincially stated without explicit approval from the CEO.
- These stages outline what is currently permissible. Due to facility restrictions, local strategies and volunteer capacity, Community Executive Committees are not obligated to offer any or all sport programs.
For Coaches
Follow these steps:
1) Complete the COVID-19: SOS Return to Program Module.
