On behalf of the Government of Canada and all Canadians, I would like to congratulate Team Canada for its success on the first weekend at the Lima 2019 Pan American Games.

Canada is off to a great start with 12 medals: two gold medals (Women's Canoe/Kayak - Sprint - K4 500m and Women's Rugby 7s), seven silver medals and five bronze medals.

I am very proud of Team Canada's performance.

Canada is a leading sport nation. The performances of our athletes reflect our country's amazing athletic talent and are a source of national pride.
