Special Olympics

Athletes and coaches from northern B.C. will be making their way to Medicine Hat this weekend for the 2026 Special Olympic Canada Summer Games.

Team B.C. will have plenty of Prince George representation at the Special Olympics Canada Games in Medicine Hat next month. 

On Sunday, Special Olympics athletes, coaches, and supporters gathered at the Central BC Railway and Forestry Museum for a year-end wrap up party. 

The City of Prince George says Special Olympics Canada will be taking a different direction with the 2030 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games. 

Medal ceremonies were held at Masich Place during day two of the Special Olympics BC Summer Games.

Day one of the Special Olympics BC Summer Games is in the books.  Nearly 900 athletes braved a rainy day in Prince George as they took part in ten sports today (Friday), with the action continuing tomorrow. 

Special Olympics means trying new things for local athlete Chase Caron.  Caron is competing in basketball this weekend, the first time she's competed in the sport for Special Olympics. 

Nearly a year after making their debut in the sport, Prince George's Special Olympic athletes are competing in bocce in this year's Special Olympics BC Summer Games.  "We started up last year, because we knew we were going to be hosting provincial games here, and we wanted to make sure we had representation from our City," said Special Olympics Prince George Local Coordinator Peter Goudal. 

The Special Olympics BC Summer Games are officially underway in Prince George. The opening ceremonies were held at the CN Centre tonight (Thursday), as the City welcomes nearly 900 athletes to the City to compete in ten sports.
