It’s Special Olympics Manitoba Awareness Week, and this year’s campaign will be entirely online to adhere to public health guidelines.

Spokesperson Melissa Suggitt says the themes for this year are “Why I Love S-O-M” and “Accept with no Exceptions”.

She adds that the organization will be doing a live interview with a guest on their Facebook page to talk about the different initiatives and programs Special Olympics Manitoba rolls out throughout the year.
