We are ever so proud of our Co-Local Coordinator, Kelly Klein!
The latest reason…Kelly was recently listed as one of a select number of British Columbia volunteers to be recognized with a BC Community Achievement Award.
Kelly will be recognized in a formal presentation at Government House in Victoria on April 25, 2012 where she will receive a certificate and a medallion designed by B.C. artist Robert Davidson.
“Recognizing and celebrating the spirit, imagination, dedication and contribution of British Columbians to their communities.”
Please join us for our 10th Annual Walkathon. For details click here. |

Special Olympics BC – North Shore provides sport training and competition for all levels of athlete—from developmental to high performance. Over 160 athletes on the North Shore train and compete in local Special Olympics programs, and many go on to participate in regional, provincial, national and international competitions.
SOBC – North Shore is an inspiring example of a grassroots organization with volunteers working together to support the goal of providing sport opportunities for people with an intellectual disability. Their reward is witnessing the positive impact that involvement in sport has on the lives of athletes. Having a large number of committed volunteers is vital to continuing success. Special Olympics BC offers programs for individuals of all ages and ability levels. Athletes can train year round and are given the opportunity to participate in competitions regardless of their skill level. There is equal opportunity for everyone. Special Olympics BC is, first and foremost, a sport organization. We treat the athletes as athletes, and as equals. We promote effort, dedication and fair play in sport.
