In a week’s time, your dream will have come to life. You will be in the midst of the Opening Ceremonies proudly wearing the Maple Leaf. Soak it all in. Enjoy the experience! Savour the journey that has brought you to this day.

We hope your Deaflympics experience will be an unforgettable one in every way possible. Connect with your teammates. Embrace the multiculturalism of life in the Athletes’ Village.

Good luck! Go Canada Go!
