Enriching the lives of Canadians with a mental disability through sport
Enrichir par le sport la vie des Canadiens et Canadiennes ayant une déficience intellectuelle
Chairman’s Message
This edition of the Special Olympics Canada Bulletin is full of reports on Team Canada
and its preparation for the World Games in Ireland; on the Sports Celebrities Festival
Day held in Toronto last December and Special Olympics Day on TSN; on initiatives as
varied as coach development and marketing.
This dynamic activity is a reflection of the integrated and consolidated staffing
structure which has brought the work of Special Olympics Canada, the Sports
Celebrities Festival and the SOC Foundation under single management. With the
addition of Nathalie Cook as Director of Sponsorships a full complement of staff is now
in place for the foreseeable future.
The Board and management set very aggressive revenue targets for the Marketing
and Development Department in the current budget. In all, our budget forecast called
for over $400,000 in new revenue, and I am happy to report that we are on target to
meet these goals. I am particularly pleased to note that this year we will distribute nearly one million dollars
to the Chapters through our national revenue sharing plan.
These results guarantee that the ultimate work of the organization can
be conducted effectively, and that is to put more and more athletes on the

Message du conseil
Dans le présent numéro, une abondance d’information sur : Équipe Canada et sa
préparation aux Jeux mondiaux en Irlande; la Journée du Festival des célébrités
sportives à Toronto en décembre et celle des JOS sur TSN; des initiatives variées
(marketing et perfectionnement des entraîneurs).
Le regroupement des activités de JOSC, du FCS et de la Fondation de JOSC sous
une même direction de même que l’intégration et le complément de leurs
personnels respectifs expliquent ce grand dynamisme. Avec l’embauche de
Nathalie Cook comme directrice des commandites, l’équipe est maintenant
complète jusqu’à nouvel ordre.
Le conseil et la direction ont fixé un objectif de revenu très exigeant au Service du marketing et du
développement. En tout, le budget prévoit de nouvelles recettes supérieures à 400 000 $ et nous
sommes en bonne voie d’atteindre cet objectif. J’annonce avec grand plaisir que cette année, nous
allons distribuer près d’un million aux sections grâce à notre plan national de répartition des recettes.
Ces résultats garantissent l’accomplissement efficace de la tâche ultime de l’organisme : mettre de
plus en plus d’athlètes au jeu. Nos dernières statistiques démontrent d’ailleurs que nous y parvenons. En
2001-2002, 27 806 athlètes étaient inscrits au mouvement, soit une hausse de 12 % par rapport à
l’année précédente. Cet exploit a nécessité les efforts de toutes les composantes de JOSC au pays, des
clubs locaux aux sections provinciales et territoriales. Félicitations à tous.

SOC & SCF Annual Awards
Prix annuels de JOSC et du FCS
For the first time ever the National Awards Evening of
Special Olympics Canada and the Welcoming
Reception of the Sports Celebrities Festival were
combined into one splendid celebration that literally
hummed with the unique spirit of Special Olympics.
While great sports stars past and present looked
on, such as Ted Lindsay, Marnie McBean and Carlos
Delgado, it was Special Olympics stars who shone
brightly: particularly the Athletes of the Year, Tammy
Chambers and Jamie King, and from the Team of the
Year, the Hamilton Hurricanes’ Mike Pielorz and Ivan
Stephenson and coach Allison Tweedy.
Also honoured were the Coaches of the Year, Kelly
Zackodnik and George Reitmeier; Cecil Villard was
awarded the Jim Thompson Award (formerly the
Chairman’s Award) for outstanding volunteer service,
and the winners of the SCF Volunteer Awards were
Judy Wakeford from Manitoba and Patty Groff and
Brian Bell of Ontario.
Pour la première fois de leur histoire, JOSC et le FCS ont
remis leurs prix nationaux annuels ensemble, à
l’occasion du dîner et de l’initiation des célébrités
sportives précédant le Festival. Une célébration
splendide, qui a littéralement vibré de l’esprit unique
aux Jeux olympiques spéciaux.
La présence de grandes étoiles sportives actuelles
et passées, dont Ted Lindsay, Marnie McBean et Carlos
Delgado, n’a pas porté ombrage à nos olympiens
spéciaux, notamment Tammy Chambers et Jamie King,
athlètes de l’année, de même que Mike Pielorz et Ivan
Stephenson, membres de l’équipe de l’année, les
Hurricanes de Hamilton.
On a également honoré les entraîneurs de l’année,
Kelly Zackodnik et George Reitmeier, en plus de Cecil
Villard, lauréat du prix Jim Thompson (ancien Prix du
président) pour services bénévoles exceptionnels. Les
prix Bénévolat du FCS sont allés à Judy Wakeford
(Manitoba), Patty Groff et Brian Bell (Ontario).

In mid-December SOC National Program Coordinators Caterina
Carpino and Johnny Byrne, joined colleagues Jill Cameron from
Newfoundland/Labrador., Michael Greek from Nova Scotia, Charity
Sheehan from PEI, Ian McDougall from Ontario and Sarah Lavin
from Alberta for a Special Olympics North America (SONA) Games
Management workshop in Lake Placid, NY. The three-day workshop
dealt with major components of Games organization and
management. Delegates from the US and Caribbean were intrigued
and impressed by Canada’s approach to Games management and
operations.

SOC NATIONAL GAMES SUB-COMMITTEE
We are pleased to welcome Gwyneth Pryse-Phillips, Michelle Comeau and Todd Foss as new members of
the National Games Sub-Committee. Todd Foss served as Director of Sport for the 2002 Summer Games in
Prince Albert; Michelle Comeau from Toronto is currently Manager of Athlete Representation at IMGCanada; and Gwyneth Pryse-Phillips is Executive Director of Special Olympics Newfoundland and Labrador.
The three join Brian McPherson and Tim Fergus who has been appointed Chair of the Sub-Committee.
Special thanks to Debbie Low, former Games Sub-Committee Chair for her leadership over the past several
years. Debbie now sits on the SOC Board and serves on the Sport Committee, but she continues to have a
special interest in the Games file and, time permitting, will participate with the Sub-Committee when she
can.
COACH DEVELOPMENT
SOC Director of Coach Development Mary Bluechardt, in conjunction with her Chapter counterparts,
continue to advance the work on transition from the current 3M NCCP to Competency Based Education
and Training (CBET) model. The SOC National Coaching Committee met in Montreal in November 2002 to
develop CBET Coaching supplements. Liaison continues with other National Sport Federations to ensure
Special Olympics concerns are addressed during the CBET transition phase. SOC continues to work with
the Special Olympics North America on Indigenous Initiative Committee in preparation for the 2005 North
American Indigenous Games scheduled to be held in Buffalo, New York. Current work focuses on the
development of technical packages, clarification of issues and concerns prior to making a commitment to
compete at the 2005 Games.
2003 CANADA WINTER GAMES : BATHURST – CAMPBELLTON, NB
To date 16 Special Olympics figure skaters from 9 Chapters have qualified for the Canada Games. The

STAPLES Shatters “Dream” Record
It didn’t take STAPLES Business Depot/Bureau en
Gros long to smash their record setting fundraising
total of 2002’s Give a Dollar Share a Dream
Campaign. When the sun set at the close of business
February 1st, the 2003 campaign surpassed the
previous year’s total of $310,047 by a whopping
$64,626 for a cross-country grand total of $374,674.
As was the case a year ago, the amount
overwhelmed STAPLES’ pre-campaign estimates,
leaving management and staff with the happy task of
trying to explain to SOC why the promotion has
exceeded everyone’s hopes and expectations.
For one thing, the two week event has been so
thoroughly integrated into the STAPLES’ day-to-day
operation that the early development bugs are now
gone and staff across the entire system see the
campaign as an opportunity to make a significant
impact in their community.
In-store support of the promotion coupled with
the on-site presence of Special Olympics’ athletes
and chapter volunteers has created immense
awareness of the organization and its goals for the
mentally disabled.
Added to the $140,000 raised in 2001 and the
$310,047 from 2002, the three year “Dream” total
has become just that… a fundraiser’s Dream come
true of $824,720.
To STAPLES’ president Steve Matyas, VP
Marketing Doug Laphen, Head Office campaign staff,
and the enthusiastic employees across the country
who make it all happen, Special Olympics Canada and
our Chapters say thank you.
Special thanks to Pin Point Studios at Grey
Worldwide for the development of the “Give A Dollar
Share A Dream Poster” and to Harmony Printing for
their donation of the poster production.

Knights Support North American
Olympians
Les Chevaliers appuient les olympiens
nord-américains
The Supreme Council of the Knights of
Columbus has awarded a $1,000,000 (US)
grant to support the transportation expenses
of the World Games athletes from the United
States, Canada and Mexico. In awarding the
grant, Supreme Knight Carl Anderson noted
that “The Knights of Columbus, at all levels,
have a long history of supporting the courage
and commitment of Special Olympics athletes.
This grant, representing a major youth and
community service initiative for 2003, is on behalf of the
1.5 million Knights of Columbus members throughout
North America who honor and cherish the abilities of
these outstanding individuals.”
The grant will be shared on a per capita basis
recognizing the total number of athletes from the US,
Mexico and Canada who will form each country’s team.
Canada’s share is $53,505.00 US, which will convert to
somewhere near $80,000.00 CDN.
While the Knights as earlier noted have a long
history of support for Special Olympics Programs in the
United States, this grant is the first to SOC and could
not have come at a more appropriate time. As you read
of this extremely generous donation, travel and
accommodation plans for Team Canada are yet to be
finalized. There is one certainty, they will be the most
expensive Games in our history. Many thanks to the
Supreme Council for its timely investment in the North
American athletes of Special Olympics.
Le Conseil suprême des Chevaliers de
Colomb a octroyé 1 000 000 $ US au
transport des athlètes américains,
canadiens et mexicains aux Jeux
mondiaux. « Les Chevaliers de Colomb
appuient depuis longtemps le courage et
l’engagement des athlètes olympiques
spéciaux », a rappelé Carl Anderson,
chevalier suprême. « Cette subvention
représente une initiative majeure en
matière de service aux jeunes et à la collectivité
pour 2003; je la remets au nom d’un million et demi
de membres actifs dans toute l’Amérique du Nord,
qui accordent un prix immense aux habiletés de ces
athlètes remarquables. »
La subvention fera l’objet d’une répartition
proportionnelle au nombre entre les délégations
américaine, mexicaine et canadienne. La part du
Canada s’élève à 53 505 $ US, soit environ
80 000 $ CA.
Les Chevaliers soutiennent depuis longtemps les
programmes des JOS aux États-Unis, mais c’est la
première fois que JOSC profite de leur extrême
générosité. Le moment n’aurait pas pu être mieux
choisi, car si la planification du transport et de
l’hébergement d’Équipe Canada reste à finaliser,
chose certaine, les Jeux mondiaux de 2003 seront
les plus coûteux de notre histoire. Mille mercis au
Conseil suprême pour cette aide qui arrive à point
nommé.
The Foster Foundation
In the hustle of trying to stay ahead of the game, it is easy to be side-tracked,
losing sight of those who quietly support our work, without fanfare and, perhaps
too often, without proper acknowledgement. Which brings us to The Foster
Foundation, from its inception a major contributor to the development, growth
and advancement of Special Olympics in Canada and to many other groups and
organizations providing support to people with a mental disability.
SOC is often the recipient of unexpected assistance beyond the Foundation’s
annual commitment, and we note two recent examples of similar donations which
directly affect Special Olympics – one in Ontario, the other in far off Nepal. Special
Olympians in the Toronto area know of the Variety Village facilities, which they use
extensively for training and tournaments in many sport disciplines. A recent Foster
Foundation donation to the Village of $50,000 will help ensure that our athletes
continue to have the use of this outstanding sports venue. The other recent
donation was made to Special Olympics Nepal through the intervention of Zeke
O’Connor on their behalf. Zeke, a one-time member of Red Foster’s first CSO
Advisory Board and a continuing advocate of Special Olympics Canada, has been a
long time friend of Sir Edmund Hillary and through Sir Edmund to the mentally
disabled athletes of Nepal.
The Foundation’s good deeds carry on Red Foster’s personal life long undertaking
– the focus on those with mental disabilities.

Auctioning the shirts off Olympians’ backs
Reprinted with permission of Maclean’s Magazine
As sports collecting goes, this is once-in-a-lifetime stuff. Since January 6, Special
Olympics Canada has been taking sealed bids at its Toronto offices for a complete
set of jerseys worn at the 2002 Winter Games by both the women’s and men’s
gold-medal hockey teams. The auction closes on February 21, the first
anniversary of the women’s triumph, and the winner will be announced on
February 24, a year after the men’s victory. The 44 jerseys are being sold as a
package, and budget-conscious buyers need not apply. Jared Weiss, vicepresident of Steiner Sports Marketing in New Rochelle, NY, calls the collection “an
unbelievable collectible,” and says it could sell for far more than its reserve bid of
$100,000. “Like anything else,” Weiss says, “it comes down to finding the person who really wants it.”
It’s also a windfall for an organization devoted to giving people with mental disabilities better access to
sports. “This is the biggest single corporate gift we’ve ever received,” says SOC president Jim Jordan. The
collectibles were available because Nike Hockey had made four sets of Olympic jerseys for each team. After
the Games, sets were given to the players, the Canadian Hockey Association, the Hockey Hall of Fame and
Nike. The company initially planned to donate its jerseys, one by one, for use at charitable fundraisers. But
Nike’s John Pickett and TSN exec Rick Briggs-Jude suggested giving the collection to SOC in honour of former
Canadian Olympic Committee head Jim Thompson, who died last summer. “Jim was a huge supporter of Special
Olympics,” Pickett says, “so it just seemed right.”
JAMES DEACON
Mr. Vipond would be proud
Special Olympics veterans may recall the key role performed
by then Globe & Mail Sports Editor Jim Vipond, when the Ontario Chapter was formed in 1974. Jim was another
of Red Foster’s many friends and was not only a founding director of OSO, he also used the pages of the Globe
Sports Section to run an annual Christmas Fund for Special Olympics. Jim passed on in 1989 but his legacy at
the Globe is very much alive as evidenced by a mid-December letter and donation from Joan Astley and her
cohorts in the Globe Sports Department. We say “thanks” to Joan and to Murray Malkin and Philip King who
organized their annual office campaign that produced $2,528.00 for SOC in 2002. Jim would be thrilled to know
they are carrying on his good work.
48 Years, $391,500 Later…
We’ll likely never know what possessed then CBC cameraman Mort
Greenberg to temporarily put aside his tools of the trade 48 years ago,
long enough to initiate Mort’s Christmas Fund. We do know that in 2002,
Mort, long since retired, cajoled, cadged and conspired to collect $27,106
from his wide assortment of friends, family and lifelong associates thereby
increasing his all time “take” to just over $391,500.
Over the years a number of charities have benefited from Mort’s
generosity including the Toronto Star and Toronto Sun Christmas funds,
Variety Village, Kids Help Phone, Toronto Association for Community Living
and of course Special Olympics.
This year $7,111 found its way into SOC’s Christmas stocking
increasing the Fund’s contributions to Special Olympics to $91,708!
If you, like us, find these accomplishments represent the true spirit of
Christmas, join us in once again raising a glass to our remarkable friend
Mort Greenberg and the host of pals who share in this exceptional
community service.

2003 Team Canada - Adopt an Athlete Program
For the first time in the history of Special Olympics, World Summer Games will
take place outside of North America and this means a dramatic increase of
expenses for these Games. In addition to funding from Sport Canada and our
national sponsors, we require additional funding to cover the increased expenses
– in excess of $5000 per Team Canada member.
From June 21 to 29, 2003, Team Canada members (58 athletes, 15 coaches
and 8 mission staff) will participate, along with 7000 athletes from 166
countries, in the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Dublin, Ireland.
People are helping make dreams come true by “Adopting” a Team Canada
Athlete for $5000. This will help ensure that athletes have a once in a lifetime
experience.
For more information on how to “Adopt an Athlete” contact Kathleen Kostynuk,
National Fundraising & Development Coordinator at 416-927-9050 ext. 233, email: [email protected]
Delta Delivers
Delta Hotels and Resorts continued chain-wide fundraising activities
generating a 2002 record of $133,854, some $45,000 more than the
previous year’s campaigns! All 37 locations, from Delta Ocean Pointe in
Victoria to Delta St. John’s Conference Centre in Newfoundland, took part
in the “Toonie Ballot” program, allowing guests and staff to participate in
a draw for a weekend at the location plus a Grand Prize of a weekend at
any Delta property in Canada. In addition all locations were urged to
develop other activities such as the Delta Chelsea Golf Classic in Toronto,
Montreal’s Delta Centre Ville Skate-A-Thon and the four Muskoka Resorts
creating a special staff golf rate at each property.
“At Delta Your Room is Ready” and Delta is always front and centre in
support of SOC and our Chapter events.
Home Hardware Hat Trick
Home Hardware Stores Ltd. continues to develop
creative fundraising for Special Olympics ventures
shared by its chain of Canada-wide partners. The most
recent in-store promotion centred on handsomely
packaged Hallmark Christmas cards for the 2002 holiday
season. An impressive total of $100,000 was raised and
the cheque presented on January 22nd in the Kitchener
Auditorium. The occasion was the 7th Annual Top
Prospects Game featuring the best young hockey
players in Canada who will be subject to the NHL draft
this summer. Between periods Home Hardware’s Director
of Advertising, Bruce Shuh presented the cheque to
SOC President Jim Jordan and Frank Selke. The sellout
crowd at the “AUD” gave Home Hardware a well
deserved ovation. So does SOC.

DINNER GALA, LIVE AUCTION AND SILENT AUCTION
As the sun set, the stars came out, and so did our own Celebrity
Stars. The SCF Black Tie Dinner/Auction served as the finale for the
day, and for the year. Honourary Auction Chair, Keith Pelley, Auction
Chair Kirsteen Etherington and all the professional athletes who
supported Sports Celebrities Festival and Special Olympics came out to
make the evening an incredible success. Over 900 guests had the
opportunity to bid on wonderful live auction items including a 2003
Toyota Corolla Sport, JVC Home Theatre System, Glastron Boat and
Mercury Motor, Trips to the NHL and NBA All-Star Games, an
Appearance on Off the Record, A Whirlpool Dream Kitchen, and much
Over 120 Silent Auction items were bid
more. The Silent Auction featured everything from weekend getaways;
on at the Gala
limited edition sports frames and memorabilia, to autographed jerseys,
toys, cameras and a chance to see David Letterman Live in New York!
Our guests were entertained as we recreated some of the entertainment highlights over the past 20 years,
which included the Burlington Teen Touring Band, The Vince Parrell Dancers and Malcolm Gale. The night was
topped off with a live performance by The Dexters.
Without a doubt the 20th Anniversary of the Sports Celebrities Festival was one of the best. Thanks to
everyone who has supported this event!

PERFECTIONNEMENT
DES ENTRAÎNEURS
De concert avec ses homologues provinciaux, Mary Bluechardt, directrice du perfectionnement des entraîneurs à
JOSC, continue à faire progresser la transition de l’actuel PNCE 3M au modèle d’éducation et de formation axées
sur les compétences (EFAC). Notre comité national des entraîneurs s’est réuni à Montréal, en novembre dernier,
pour élaborer des suppléments à l’EFAC destinés aux entraîneurs aux JOS. Nous restons en lien avec les autres
fédérations nationales de sport afin que la transition à l’EFAC tienne compte de nos besoins particuliers. JOSC
collabore toujours au comité sur l’Initiative autochtone de Jeux olympiques spéciaux Amérique du Nord, en vue des
Jeux autochtones de l’Amérique du Nord à Buffalo (NY) en 2005. Nous attendons la complétion des dossiers
techniques et la clarification de divers aspects avant de nous engager à prendre part à l’événement.
