An unforgettable week in Vancouver and Whistler ahead of the Games next February
We are still buzzing from all the excitement of the past week! Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, Founding Patron of the Invictus Games Foundation, and representatives from the Invictus Games Foundation joined us for an unforgettable week in Vancouver and Whistler ahead of the Games next February.
We are grateful to the Four Host First Nations for their hospitality, to the Canadian Football League for 🏈👕 and members of Canadian Armed Forces and students for all the learning.
Team Canada 2025 competitors joined students at the Seaforth Armoury for the exciting launch of our Online School Program. Sharing their stories of resilience and perseverance, they encouraged students to embrace challenges and strive for their best.
“The core of the Invictus Games for me is healing. It’s healing through sport and that is really what it is… but also sharing how we heal with other folks like we did today with the children so they can really understand why we do it and what has happened in service in Canada.”
– Francesca Colussi, Team Canada 2025
“The sports I’m competing in for this Invictus Games will be Alpine Sit Ski, Wheelchair Basketball and Indoor Rowing. My injury is not the end of the story, in fact it’s just the beginning. Having the Games there for us helps cement that in and go listen dude, this is just the beginning, this is just the beginning.’
-Robert Pullen, Team Canada 2025
Keep following along as we countdown to a historic #InvictusGames 💛🖤
