2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games

The 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games are set to take place in February and March 2022 in Beijing, China. 215 Canadian athletes will represent the country at the Olympic Games and approximately 50 will do the same at the Paralympic Games.

The Olympic and Paralympic Games are an opportunity for Team Canada athletes to inspire Canadians, especially young Canadians, to stay active through sport. These athletes have demonstrated courage, resilience and perseverance in the lead up to the Games, and they will once again make the whole country proud. They will inspire our youth to believe that it can achieve its dreams no matter the circumstances.

The Government of Canada is proud to be the largest single contributor to sport in Canada and has supported Team Canada’s quest for excellence throughout the pandemic. As part of the Emergency Support Fund for Cultural, Heritage and Sport Organizations, funding was distributed to sport organizations, including National Sport Organizations, Multisport Service Organizations, and Canadian Sport Centres to help athletes prepare for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Through Sport Canada programs, Canadians contribute to the preparation, participation, and celebration of our country’s high-performance athletes before, during and after the Games.

The Government of Canada supports the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Committees in all of their preparations to get ready for the 2022 Games.
