JOY IS GOLD. It’s that moment that brings you happiness. Maybe even a celebratory event? Perhaps an accomplishment that makes you and others happy?

Over 45,000 Special Olympics athletes across Canada ALWAYS give us JOY IS GOLD moments, both on and off the field of play.

Join us in spreading the word on our newest campaign and share YOUR JOY IS GOLD moment.

While you’re at it, check out the “fly” apparel (as the cool kids say) that Canadian-Based clothier Local Laundry has created for the Campaign. When ordering, you can “Yukonize” your purchase! A portion of all orders with the custom Special Olympics Yukon patch supports over 125 Yukon athletes with an intellectual disability!
