Did you know? 🤔 There's a common misconception about who can participate in Special Olympics BC - Grand Forks.

Special Olympics programs are designed for individuals who have been identified as having an intellectual disability or closely related cognitive developmental disability—including FASD and ASD ♾️

Here is what you need to know:

🏅 No Upper Age Limit: From elementary school kids to adults and seniors, everyone is welcome!

📍 Open to the Community: We encourage children, youth, and adults from across the Boundary region to participate.

💵 Just $25 Per Season: One low fee gives participants access to 8 sports from September through June.

🚌 Our Commitment: We work hard at community fundraising to cover facility rentals, equipment, out-of-town competition, and travel fees to keep costs from becoming a barrier for our athletes.

💙 All Skill Levels Welcome: Competition is encouraged but optional. Whether you're trying a sport for the first time, making new friends, or competing hard, there's a place for you! (*some competitions have additional eligibility criteria)
