Special Olympics in Canada

Special Olympics is a global sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities. The impetus for the organization was research done by Canadian sports scientist Dr. Frank Hayden, who helped develop the first International Special Olympics Games in Chicago in 1968. The World Games are now held every two years and alternate between summer and winter events. The 2015 Summer Games were held in Los Angeles, California, and the 2017 Winter Games will be held in Austria. Canada began holding National Games in 1969, thanks to the efforts of broadcaster Harry “Red” Foster. Like the World Games, the National Games alternate between summer and winter events, with the 2014 Summer Games held in Vancouver, British Columbia, and the 2016 Winter Games held in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador. Special Olympics Canada has chapters in all provinces and territories, except Nunavut, and there are currently more than 40,000 children, youth and adults registered in Special Olympics programs across the country.

Sperm Whale

The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) has the largest brain in the animal kingdom. It is also the largest toothed whale species and has the widest global distribution of all marine mammal species. The name “sperm whale” comes from the substance spermaceti, which is found in the sperm whale’s head and is suspected to play a role in echolocation. These whales are specially adapted to hunt in the deep ocean, where there is no light.
