Medicine Hat to host 2026 Canada Special Olympics
The Canada Special Olympics are slated for Medicine Hat in 2026 after a re-submit bid by the city and Alberta Games Society met Special Olympics Canada standards. The city will contribute 300,000 toward a 2.5 million event, with provincial grants of 500,000 and 650,000 from Special Olympics Canada. Local schools plan a fundraiser as part of a plan to avoid any deficit and to leave a legacy.
