OACP members and all police personnel in Ontario are invited to join us in supporting Be a Fan Day on Thursday, April 24, 2025 – a province-wide celebration in support of the 2025 Special Olympics Ontario Provincial Summer Games being held in Brantford, Brant County, and Six Nations from July 10–13, 2025. Special Olympics Ontario’s Law Enforcement Torch Run is the OACP’s official charity of choice.
Be a Fan Day highlights the police community’s ongoing commitment to inclusion, dignity, and empowerment of individuals with intellectual disabilities through sport. Police services across Ontario are encouraged to:
- Wear Special Olympics foam fingers
- Participate in local photo opportunities with athletes and community supporters
- Post photos on social media using the hashtags #BeAFan and #2025BrantfordSummerGames and tag @SpecialOlympicsOntario, @TorchRunOntario, and @oacpoffcial.
We also encourage services to support the “Draft an Athlete” fundraiser, helping cover essential competition costs for athletes.
