Description

Most people think Special Olympics is just about one big event — but they’re missing the real story. CEO Gail Hamamoto and athlete-advocate Callum Denault reveal what actually happens behind the scenes: 40,000 athletes, 20,000 volunteers, year-round training, and life-changing health programs that go far beyond sport.

Discover how Special Olympics Canada is helping people with intellectual and developmental disabilities build friendships, access dental care, speak in Parliament, and even find full-time jobs. This episode will completely shift how you think about inclusion, sport — and what it means to belong.
