QUOTES
“We are honoured to be included in this celebration of Canada’s Olympic athletes as they set out to represent our country in Rio. A summer evening on the beach, rock ‘n’ roll and fireworks. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate Canada Day, and send Team Canada off to the Games in style.”
– Sloan
“Athletes are at the centre of everything we do and what could be better than celebrating our Canadian Olympic heroes on our nation’s birthday with thousands of families and children at Woodbine Beach. This will be a send-off to remember and one that will show Canada’s Olympians that they have an army of support behind them.”
– Chris Overholt, CEO, Canadian Olympic Committee
