Albert Campbell Collegiate Institute's students made history on the world stage after being selected to represent Ontario and Canada at the first-ever Special Olympics Unified 3x3 Basketball World Cup, held December 5–7, 2025, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
This landmark event marked the first time in Special Olympics’ 57-year history that a Unified 3x3 Basketball World Cup was held. Modeled after the prestigious FIBA Basketball World Cup, the tournament brought together 20 men’s teams and 18 women’s teams from countries around the globe.
Albert Campbell CI was proud to be part of Team Canada, showcasing the talent, teamwork and inclusive spirit of Unified Champion Schools on an international platform. The men’s team proudly claimed a bronze medal, while the women’s team delivered an outstanding fourth-place finish on the world stage. The athletes’ performances reflected months of dedication, collaboration and hard work by students and educators alike, as they competed with determination, sportsmanship and pride.
This journey would not have been possible without the leadership and commitment of coaches and educators Ms. Jennifer Kil and Ms. Julie Waller, along with the support of the Albert Campbell CI administration team.
