Secretary of State van Koeverden : Hey, Team Canada!
The wait is over; it’s time for the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Over the next 10 days, athletes from 74 nations and territories will come together in a celebration of sport, culture, and community, while setting the standard for major events with the para sport program fully integrated into the competition.
After all the training and hard work you’ve put in, I know you’re ready to give this everything you’ve got.
I can’t wait to cheer you on and see what Team Canada accomplishes this year.
(translated from French to Englsih) So, to all of Team Canada, the athletes, officials and mission staff, I wish every one of you the best of luck.
Wear your Canadian colours with pride, your maple leaf with distinction and make sure that you enjoy every single second out there.
You have 41 million Canadians right behind you.
Go Canada Go!
