History

Welcome to Special Olympics – LaSalle Windsor (LWSO)!

We’re a dynamic, inclusive community where athletes with intellectual disabilities—ages 8 to 80—come together for fun, friendship, fitness, and friendly competition. Whether you're aiming for gold or just love to move and socialize, there’s a place for everyone at LWSO.

Founded in 2003 by members of the LaSalle Police Service, our club began with a simple goal: offer accessible sports and recreation for all, at little or no cost. What started with a few track and field activities quickly grew into a vibrant year-round program offering many activities inluding basketball, athletics, softball, bowling, and swimming.

Today, thanks to a 2014 partnership between LaSalle and Windsor special olympics programs, we proudly offer athletes more opportunities than ever—locally, regionally, provincially, and even nationally or internationally.

Highlights of what we do:

• Train and compete in basketball, track and field, softball, bowling, swimming and many more

• Participate in Law Enforcement Torch Runs, Polar Plunge, and community fundraisers

• Celebrate every season with an awards party where everyone’s a winner

• At LWSO, our athletes grow in skill, confidence, and connection with peers—with a lot of laughs along the way.

Join us—and be part of something special.
