Through our past Olympic and amateur sport support, we have laid a foundation to build a lasting legacy for Canada. In 1947, Sidney Dawes, the founder of the Canadian Olympic Committee, phoned the President of the Royal Bank of Canada, Sydney Dobson, and asked for the banks help in getting the Canadian Olympic team to the Winter Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Royal Bank said yes, and from that day forward, RBC Financial Group has been a supporter of the Canadian Olympic Team and Canadian athletes. For over 50 years RBC has supported a wide range of programs with the goal of helping amateur athletes achieve their potential, whether that be on the world stage by achieving Olympic podium success, or at the grassroots level, providing programs that allow access to sport for kids. As a leading Canadian company, we look forward to helping build a lasting legacy for Vancouver, Whistler, and Canada.

Extractions: History of the Special Olympics Special Olympics grew out of changes in public attitudes in the 60's. Today 1.5 million developmentally disabled athletes from 160 countries take part in these activities. "Let me win, But if I cannot win, Let me be brave in the attempt." â oath of Special Olympics athletes. Presently, more than 1.5 Million developmentally disabled athletes in 160 countries are involved in Special Olympics activities. Less than fifty years ago, developmentally disabled persons often lived in a dark, cloistered, sometimes brutal, world of institutions, sheltered workshops, or family home back bedrooms; objects of sympathy, curiosity, fear. With the Sixties came profound change in public attitudes. As if ideas have wings, Doctor Frank Hayden, a medical professor in Toronto, was discovering in his research that poor physical fitness among people with developmental disabilities had less to do with the disabilities and more to do with life circumstances imposed by the assumptions of authorities and the public. About the same time in the United States, Eunice Kennedy Shriver was seeing clearly beneficial value in enabling athletic opportunities for developmentally disabled children at a summer day camp with which she was involved. Dr. Hayden used formal research to prove his contention; Eunice Shriver used observation and practice. By the late Sixties the work of the two people was compelling enough to bring the Kennedy Foundation on board as a major financial supporter. In July of 1968, the first International Special Olympic Games were held in fabled Soldier Field in Chicago. Track and field, aquatics, and floor hockey events were in the spotlight. So were 1,000 athletes from Canada and 26 American states. Since then, that spotlight has grown brighter.

Extractions: I have noticed a few errors people make about Special Olympics. Most people misunderstand who is eligible for Special Olympics. In order to be a Special Olympics athlete, you must be mentally handicapped. Having only an emotional handicap (BD, ED, et al) does not make you eligible. Having only a learning disability does not make you eligible. Albert Einstein, even though he was dyslexic, could not have competed.
