Special Olympics Ontario, a non-profit organization that helps provide sports and training programs for youth and adults with intellectual disabilities, is holding the 2023 Ontario School Championships in Kingston from June 6 to 8, 2023. Several opportunities to volunteer on campus are still available.
The event, hosted by Kingston Police, will welcome more than 1,100 student-athletes, coaches, and their families to the City of Kingston and to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s campus. During the 2022/23 academic year, more than 7,000 high-school athletes competed across the province to qualify.
The partnership between Kingston Police and Special Olympics is longstanding, with annual events such as the Polar Plunge and the Law Enforcement Torch Run to raise funds. Torch Runners from across Ontario will be running the Flame of Hope through downtown Kingston and into the Opening Ceremonies taking place at the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Athletics & Recreation Centre (ARC) main gym on Tuesday, June 6 at 7 p.m.
All events are free of charge and student-athletes will be competing at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and Kingston venues:
- Basketball 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Athletics & Recreation Centre (ARC)
- Bocce 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Nixon Field
- Soccer 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Tindall Field
- Floor Hockey 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Cataraqui Arena
- Track and Field 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Invista Centre
Each sport has two team divisions: a traditional division, where athletes on the team have an intellectual disability, and a unified division, where athletes with and without an intellectual disability compete on the same team.
Special Olympics Ontario held Provincial Spring Games in Kingston in 2012 and this is the first time the Ontario School Championships have been in the city. This event was originally scheduled for June 2020, but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
