PEI Special Olympics

Special Olympics PEI

Special Olympics PEI became an accredited chapter of Canadian Special Olympics in 1982. During that time, Special Olympic activities on PEI were coordinated though the Recreation and Sports Association for the disabled (RSAD). In 1987, Special Olympics PEI stepped from under the RSAD umbrella and became its own incorporated, charitable organization.

Since its inception in 1982, Special Olympics PEI has grown steadily and today there are over 500 registered athletes who participate in approximately 50 recreation and sport programs across the province.  These sporting programs are supported by more then 120 coaches and volunteers.
