“Go Beyond”: A Year of Growth, Resilience, and Looking Beyond
We’re thrilled to announce the release of Special Olympics Ontario’s 2024 Impact Report! In this year’s Report, Special Olympics Ontario (SOO) celebrates a remarkable year defined by resilience, expansion, and a commitment to inclusivity. The theme, “Go Beyond,” embodies our vision to expand access, redefine boundaries, and set ambitious goals for the future.
This past year, our athletes competed with unmatched spirit and camaraderie at Provincial and National Games, earning medals and lifelong memories. We’re particularly proud of the growth in our Unified Champion Schools, where a 59% increase in participation has brought thousands of new student-athletes and supporters into the Special Olympics community.
With the health and well-being of our athletes at the forefront, the Healthy Athletes program has reached nearly 2,000 individuals through screenings and virtual resources. This commitment to health drives us to bridge gaps in healthcare and make meaningful strides towards equity in services for people with intellectual disabilities.
As we look ahead, we remain focused on “Going Beyond” for our athletes, communities, and supporters, creating a lasting impact that extends beyond sport. Join us in celebrating this year’s milestones and stay tuned for the exciting future we’re building together.
