Special Olympics BC/North Shore – January – 2013

Special Olympics BC – North Shore provides sport training and competition for all levels of athlete—from developmental to high performance. Over 170 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.

We had the privilege of having Billy Peterson (Basketball Athlete) give us a presentation about Special Olympics BC – North Shore and explain to us what benefits he receives from participating.  We enjoyed his presentation and he allowed us to understand the confidence, friendship and the discipline he receives from taking part in the program.

The Mount Seymour Lions Club donated $6000.00 to help send a record number of North Shore Athletes to this years Special Olympics of BC Provincial Summer Games that will be held in Langley from July 11th through 14th.  We wish all of the athletes the very best of luck and thank you for representing the North Shore.
