Team Canada's 35-person contingent is departing today for the 2022 United States Department of Defense Warrior Games taking place August 19 to 28 in Orlando, Florida, at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort.
The goal of the Warrior Games is to enhance the recovery and rehabilitation of ill and injured armed service members and Veterans by providing them exposure to adaptive sports. Participation in the Warrior Games represents the culmination of a service member's involvement in an adaptive sports program and demonstrates the incredible potential of participants through competitive sports.
Team Canada members will be among more than 250 competitors, including those from various U.S. Service Branches, to compete in 11 adaptive sports throughout the course of the games.
The participation of Team Canada in the 2022 Warrior Games is led by the Canadian Armed Forces' Soldier On program in collaboration with True Patriot Love Foundation.
Canadians are invited to follow Team Canada via live stream on the Warrior Games site.
