Join us for lunch and learn more about the Invictus Games from Michael Burns, CEO of Invictus Games Toronto 2017. Over 550 competitors, representing 17 nations in 12 different sports, and supported by 1,500 volunteers, contribute to making this event a success.
Established by Prince Harry of Wales in 2014, the Invictus Games are the only international adaptive sporting event for ill, wounded and injured active duty and veteran service members. Taking place from September 23-30, the 2017 Games will introduce the first-ever Invictus Games relay, igniting the Invictus Games spirit across Canada. But, compared to Paralympic activities, Invictus Games has a totally different focus beyond simply the competitions — hear the rest of the story at this presentation.
