If a para athlete has ever moved you at the Commonwealth Games, Judy Kent helped open that door. Congratulations to Judy, our former President and Chef de Mission for Victoria 1994, on being invested as a Member of the Order of Canada (@governorgeneralcanada) on October 2. She advocated for athletes with a disability to be included in the Commonwealth Games, which led to demonstration events at the 1994 Games and full medal events in 2002. Thank you for everything, Judy. by @cwthsportcan

"It gives everyone something to believe in collectively in that moment." 🫶 That's Etta Love on why sport matters, and honestly, we couldn't have said it better. The Saskatoon weightlifter is a 2024 World Youth champion who took home bronze at her very first Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. 🏋️‍♀️ Throughout the Games, she kept coming back to how important sport is because it brings people together. Give this interview from the 2026 Commonwealth Games a listen as she shares what weightlifting has given her, from staying connected to her younger self to trusting her future self. Thank you for sharing this with us, Etta. ❤️ ____ « Ça donne à tout le monde quelque chose en quoi croire collectivement, à ce moment-là. » 🫶 C'est Etta Love qui nous explique pourquoi le sport est si important, et honnêtement, on n'aurait pas pu mieux le dire. L'haltérophile de Saskatoon, championne du monde jeunesse en 2024, a décroché la médaille de bronze à ses tout premiers Jeux du Commonwealth, à Glasgow. 🏋️‍♀️ Tout au long des Jeux, elle est revenue à une idée : le sport est important parce qu'il rassemble les gens. Écoutez cette entrevue réalisée aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 2026. Etta y raconte ce que l'haltérophilie lui a apporté : rester connectée à la jeune fille qu'elle était, et faire confiance à la personne qu'elle deviendra. Merci d'avoir partagé ça avec nous, Etta. ❤️ by @cwthsportcan

"Focus on the game plan. It's going to work. It's going to happen." That's what Julien Frascadore told himself between every sequence of the men's -66 kg gold medal final in Glasgow. Up against Cyprus's Georgios Balarjishvili, the defending champion, regulation ended level and it went to golden score. Just over a minute in, Julien saw his opening and finished it with a hold-down. And it happened! Commonwealth gold on his Games debut! Two days later, he carried the Maple Leaf into the Closing Ceremony as Team Canada's flag bearer. ____ « Reste concentré sur le plan de match. Ça va fonctionner. Ça va arriver. » C'est ce que Julien Frascadore se disait entre chaque séquence de la finale pour l'or des -66 kg masculins à Glasgow. Face au Chypriote Georgios Balarjishvili, champion en titre, le temps réglementaire s'est terminé à égalité et le combat s'est rendu en prolongation. Un peu plus d'une minute plus tard, Julien a saisi son occasion et l'a emporté par immobilisation. Et c'est arrivé! L'or aux Jeux du Commonwealth dès ses débuts! Deux jours plus tard, il a porté l'unifolié lors de la cérémonie de clôture à titre de porte-drapeau d'Équipe Canada. 📸 Cover Image: Antoine Saito by @cwthsportcan
Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We honour the children who never came home, the Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities. Reconciliation is ongoing work, and sport has a role to play. In February 2025, Commonwealth Sport Canada became the first national Commonwealth Games association to sign the Commonwealth Sport Lekwungen Declaration on Reconciliation and Partnership with Indigenous Peoples. Led by former Six Nations Chief Ava Hill, the Declaration was drafted by an international working group of experts, sport practitioners, and Indigenous leaders. Signatories commit to engaging in a process of developing the path forward for Indigenous participation in sport by respecting, protecting, and promoting their rights and opportunities. We invite Canada's national, provincial, and territorial sport organizations to become signatories. Click the link in our bio to read more about the Declaration _____ Aujourd'hui, c'est la Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation. Nous rendons hommage aux enfants qui ne sont jamais rentrés chez eux, aux Survivants des pensionnats, ainsi qu'à leurs familles et à leurs communautés. La réconciliation est un travail qui se poursuit, et le sport a un rôle à jouer. En février 2025, Commonwealth Sport Canada est devenue la première Association des Jeux du Commonwealth nationale à signer la Déclaration Commonwealth Sport Lekwungen de réconciliation et de partenariat avec les peuples autochtones. Sous la direction d'Ava Hill, ancienne Cheffe de la bande des Six Nations, la Déclaration a été rédigée par un groupe de travail international composé d'experts, de praticiens du sport et de leaders autochtones. Les signataires s'engagent à participer à un processus dont le but est d'ouvrir la voie à la participation sportive des peuples autochtones dans un esprit de respect, de protection et de promotion de leurs droits et opportunités. Nous invitons les organisations de sport nationales, provinciales et territoriales du Canada à devenir signataires. Cliquez sur le lien dans notre bio pour en savoir plus sur la Déclaration. by @cwthsportcan
National Coaches Week ends today, and one of the best examples we have of coaches investing in coaches is our Commonwealth Women Coach Internship Program. Now in its third year, WCIP pairs six intern coaches with six mentor coaches across multiple sports. The mentors have coached at the Olympic, Paralympic, Commonwealth Games and world championship levels, and they're passing that experience straight to the next generation of Canadian coaches. That's the whole idea behind Coaches Week. Thank you to every coach and mentor building what comes next for Canadian sport. More on the program by clicking the link in our bio. #ThanksCoach | #NationalCoachesWeek by @cwthsportcan
