This year, Team Manitoba is made up of 58 talented athletes, 19 Coaches, and 10 mission staff, who will represent at the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games Calgary 2024 from February 27- March  2, 2024. This is a premier national event that will welcome over 1200 athletes, coaches, and mission staff from across the country to compete against one another in 8 sports. Each athlete will be vying for a coveted spot on Team Canada and the chance to compete at the 2025 World Winter Games in Italy.  The cost to send just one of our Provincial Team athletes to Calgary is $2000. Our goal is to raise $120,000 to help send Team Manitoba to this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
