Happy September everyone! Touching base with a quick reminder that we will be hosting an in-person registration night this upcoming Thursday, September 8th from 6-8pm at Beban Park for everyone that wants to get their forms done then. All athletes and volunteers must fill out their forms each year so that we have your updated information for the programs.

Some have asked about the current COVID-19 requirements and recently, after careful consultation with community members and sport, health, and legal experts, Special Olympics BC has decided to remove the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for all programs, competitions, and events. All the other strong safety protocols in the SOBC Communicable Disease Prevention Plan remain in place.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
