Meet the Finalists for the 2026 National Awards Night

Every year, we come together to 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.

The 2026 Special Olympics Canada Awards Night will be co-hosted by TSN’s Lindsay Hamilton and Special Olympics athlete Janie McGraw! Together, they’ll lead us through an unforgettable evening celebrating the achievements and impact of our incredible community.

We’ll also be joined by some special guests, including TSN’s Jesse Pollock, Jermain Franklin, Marissa Roberto, Raegan Subban and Jennifer Hedger.

Join us as we celebrate our Athletes of the Year, Coaches of the Year, Team of the Year and so much more!
