As the organization responsible for overseeing the Commonwealth sports activities in Canada, Commonwealth Sport Canada (CSC) has collaborated with Kukri Sports since the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, Brisbane. For both the Commonwealth Games and Commonwealth Youth Games Kukri has supplied clothing for not only the Opening and Closing Ceremonies but also podium attire and delegation apparel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham Team Canada recorded some fantastic successes, in total the team amassed a total of 149 medals including 40 gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CEO of CGAC Brian MacPherson<\/strong> recalls \u201cFor everyone associated to Team Canada we took great pride in the successes of all our sport teams taking part, but a particular highlight of the games was when all four Canada Teams won medals in the 3×3 Basketball tournaments \u2013 there was a terrific atmosphere at the venue, and it was a privilege to be there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Successes for Team Canada continued in 2023 as they took part in the Trinbago Commonwealth Youth Games, which took place on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. Team Canada won a total of 17 medals, including 4 golds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MacPherson<\/strong> also recalls the successes of the Youth Games, \u201cThe Trinbago Games was another fantastic event for everyone associated with Team Canada, whilst everyone taking part made the country proud the highlight for me was when both the Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s teams won gold in the Beach Volleyball events. However, a special mention should also be given to out Women\u2019s Rugby and Netball teams for doing so well despite having very little preparation time together before the games.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What has Team Canada\u2019s partnership with Kukri Sports been like over the last 2 cycles?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor Team Canada athletes the clothing is the \u2018wrapping\u2019 on the whole Games experience. As such it\u2019s important that the clothing be comfortable, stylish and proudly Canadian!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
