Canada’s first national, multi-sport competitive Games honouring ill and injured veterans, and their families.
We’ll keep you updated through periodic emails as we launch Canada’s first-ever Valour Games.
The 2017 Invictus Games, hosted in Toronto, took Canada by storm. Canadians rallied behind Team Canada’s competitors in fierce, Paralympic-style competitions. Those Games inspired Canada’s Valour Games. Our own Games, with Canadian competitors and coaches.
Canada’s Valour Games are much more than elite competition—they are a vital part of the rehabilitation journey for Canada’s ill and injured warriors. Many Canadians may not know the extent of the physical and emotional trauma servicemembers undergo while serving our country, or the extraordinary burdens placed on their families.
Canada’s Valour Games honours our veterans and their families by showcasing their resilience and strength through competitive sports. The Games give Canadians an opportunity to celebrate, support and show their gratitude to military families across the country.
The Valour Games will feature competitors and coaches from across the country, competing in a variety of sporting events over a one-week period.
These veterans are used to competing as if their lives depended on it so make no mistake, the competition will be fierce. But the Games also provide healing and rehabilitation for the soldiers who have given Canada so much. They will give Canadians a look at the resilient, fighting spirit of our wounded warriors and their families and an opportunity to thank them for their service.
