The Invictus Games

Vimy the dog - mascot.

The Invictus Games started in 2014. It is a special competition for wounded or sick Veterans and military members. When these games took place in Toronto in 2017, a very cool mascot rallied up the crowd: Vimy the dog! The Invictus Games will be held in British Columbia in February 2025. Get ready to cheer on Team Canada!
