12 adaptive sports, including wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, a variety of track and field events and, new to the 2017 Games, golf.

From September 23 to 30, 2017, Toronto will host more than 550 competitors from 17 nations for 8 days of fierce competition.

All competitors will be active duty and veteran service members from participating allied nations who have become ill or injured during or as a direct consequence of their service.

Fully integrated Games, meaning some competitions will see able-bodied and disabled competitors of both genders compete side-by-side.

Spectacular Opening and Closing Ceremonies that will celebrate the outstanding performances and achievements of our unconquered competitors.

The 2017 Invictus Games will be a historic opportunity for Canada and its citizens to pay tribute to and support our wounded, ill and injured soldiers, along with their families, for the sacrifices they make every day on behalf of the 35 million of us. This country’s non-military citizens actively look for ways to express their gratitude to our military, and the Invictus Games will provide an ideal forum for what we know will be an unprecedented outpouring of support.
