Did you know... From April 1st to 15th, visit your local Sobeys, Safeway or Foodland Ontario to make a donation and provide an opportunity for athletes with an ...intellectual disability to make friends, learn skills and stay healthy.

Sobeys has been a supporter of Special Olympics Canada and Special Olympics Ontario and of course, our Kincardine athletes for years now and we are always incredibly grateful for the support from our community!
