Sorry for the late post! Last, but by no means least:

Meet Coach Robyn Knott

Robyn has been around Special Olympics for several years, first supporting her daughter and later getting involved herself as a coach. Robyn has begun taking courses to further her skills and knowledge as a coach.

Robyn is a strong advocate for her own athlete and all our athletes, always cheering them on and loving to see them smile.

Her encouragement, support, and love for our athletes make her an important part of our Special Olympics family.

Thank you, Robyn, for everything you do for our athletes! 💙🏅

Meet Coach Colleen Abbott

Colleen brought her son, Joshua, to Special Olympics in 2013. As Joshua grew to love Special Olympics, Colleen quickly fell in love with it too. It wasn’t long before she decided to become a coach and give back to the club that meant so much to her family.

Colleen now coaches bowling and bocce, where she loves being on the floor with our athletes, seeing their smiles, and watching them grow and succeed.

Colleen also serves on our executive as Club Coordinator and Treasurer—two roles she certainly doesn’t take lightly! She puts a tremendous amount of time and effort into the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our club running smoothly.

While Colleen takes great pride in her executive responsibilities, it’s the sports side that she truly enjoys the most. She encourages our athletes to always do their best, while reminding them that the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy themselves.

We are so grateful for Colleen’s dedication, hard work, and love for our athletes and our club. ❤️🏅

Thank you, Colleen, for everything you do—both on and off the court!

Meet Coach Cindy Hefford

Cindy has been a familiar face around our club for quite some time, supporting her daughter Claire and bringing her to all of her sporting activities.

Recently, Cindy recognized the need for more coaches within our club and decided to step up. She has begun taking courses to build her knowledge and skills so she can better support our athletes.

We are excited to have Cindy becoming more involved and look forward to seeing all she will bring to our club. We are very happy to welcome her as part of the Special Olympics family!

Meet Coach Nicole Stacey

Nicole became a part of Special Olympics when her brother-in-law, Bobby, joined. Since Nicole would be bringing Bobby to all of our activities, she decided she wanted to take on a bigger role within the club and help in any way she could.

Nicole coaches both bowling and bocce, and she has become a huge part of our Special Olympics club. She is always willing to jump in, lend a hand, and help wherever she is needed.

We are so grateful for Nicole’s dedication, support, and commitment to our athletes. ❤️

Thank you, Nicole, for everything you do for Special Olympics!

P. S. Happy birthday Nicole from your SO family ❤️

Meet Coach Trista Walters

Trista first became involved with Special Olympics as a home care worker caring for one of our athletes. She enjoyed the experience so much that she decided to come on board as a coach—and we are so glad she did! She also serves as the secretary on our executive committee.

Trista is now a valued member of our club. She coaches bocce, athletics, and bowling, and she even has her sights set on bringing a new sport to our club!

Trista is incredibly encouraging and supportive of our athletes. She is always praising their accomplishments, celebrating their successes, and helping them believe in themselves.

We are so thankful to have Trista as part of our Special Olympics family. ❤️🏅

Thank you, Trista, for all that you do for our athletes and our club!

Meet Coach Bob Chafe

Bob is our go-to guy for practically anything! When we need someone, he’s always just a phone call away.

His son, Nicholas, has been a part of Special Olympics since the beginning. It took a few years for Bob to realize just how much he could bring to our club, but we are certainly glad he did!

Bob now coaches Nicholas in golf, as well as coaching bocce. He is always willing to jump in, lend a hand, and help wherever he is needed.

Bob has become such a valuable part of our Special Olympics family, and we truly appreciate everything he does for our athletes and our club.

Thank you, Bob, for always being there when we need you! ❤️🏅

🌟 Coach Spotlight: Lana Peddle 🌟

Lana joined Special Olympics as a coach when her daughter, Kate, was chosen to represent our province at the Winter Games in Calgary.

Since then, Lana has continued to dedicate her time and energy to our athletes, coaching athletics, snowshoeing, and bocce. She is always willing to lend a hand and goes above and beyond to support our athletes.

Lana, we truly appreciate everything you do for our athletes and our Special Olympics family. Your dedication, kindness, and willingness to help make a difference every day. ❤️

Thank you, Lana, for all that you do!
