The City of Antigonish and St Francis Xavier University recently partnered to host the 2025 Special Olympics Nova Scotia Provincial Summer Games. Over 9,000 athletes, coaches, and supporters from across the province came together for a variety of competitive sports and events, including basketball, golf, and rhythmic gymnastics. “More and more people are getting more aware of [the Special Olympics in NS],” said Special Olympics Nova Scotia Coach Geoff Tyler, who has coached for over 10 years. CTV News reports that the games serve as qualifiers for the 2026 National Summer Games, which will be held in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
