It was at Special Olympics Canada's Active Start program that Alma Loken first ran without using her walker. Now eight years old, Alma is an active, happy child with lots to say and will be the face of a healthy, active living campaign in Toronto. Throughout the pandemic, Special Olympics has worked with Sobeys to develop a nutrition guide and interactive programming to help athletes stay connected and active. The goal of the campaign is to promote healthy living and help raise money for Special Olympics Canada. "Special Olympics day is the day she jumps out of bed," her mom said.
