Special Olympics PEI is divided into four
community council across the province; Kings County, Central County,
East Prince County and West Prince County. These community council
represent Special Olympics PEI on a grass root level and offer sport
opportunity to anyone with an intellectual disability who wish to
join.
Each region offers community sport programs
to individuals of any age with an intellectual disability. Those
as young as 2 can participate in our Special Friends program or
as old as 80 in our Adult Program and any age in between.
