Special Olympics athletes from around the region converged on McLean Park on Port Coquitlam’s northside last weekend for the annual softball tournament.
Dozens of ballplayers took part in the event.
Special Olympics BC “is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities through sport,” according to its website, which also notes those athletes “participate recreationally or strive to compete at regional, provincial, national, or international events. SOBC athletes also have opportunities for leadership roles in their communities by serving as athlete speakers, and fundraising and program volunteers.”
