Paul smiles as he talks about his experience at the 2025 Special Olympics BC Summer Games, held July 10 to 12 in Prince George, BC.

Paul, who calls L’Arche’s I Belong Centre Suites his home, was one of more than 840 athletes at the recent games. He has competed in golf at a regional and provincial level and he loves the sport.

When asked what he enjoyed most, Paul said, “I really liked playing, but I also enjoyed seeing other athletes compete.

“When it was time to award the medals, there were some competitors that were disappointed. But I told them we’re all champions.”

Paul thanks everyone who worked so hard to make the games a success – the staff, volunteers, coaches, all the family and friends and everyone else who helped to make the experience such a great one.
