Special Olympics Yukon
106 Strickland Street Whitehorse, YT, Canada

Happy Tuesday Special Olympics Yukon family! Here are a few important reminders from the Government of Yukon on how to wear a mask or face covering. - Make sure to wash or sanitize your hands before you put on a mask and after you take one off. - Once your mask is on, avoid touching the mask and your face.... - When wearing a mask, your nose and mouth should always be completely covered. - If your mask becomes wet or dirty, change it for a new mask. - Disposable masks are to be thrown away after one use. - Cloth masks should be washed often.

Given the current circumstances, we're putting this year's Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Yukon "on ice" with the hope to "thaw out" the coldest pool party n...orth of 60 on March 27, 2021. Hosting a safe event is always our priority, especially during these crazy times. Key your eye on our social media platforms for more information to come in the New Year! Happy Holidays and stay safe!
