Team NL attended the Opening Ceremonies for the 2022 Niagara Canada Summer Games at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines August 6th starting at 8pm. 

After a day spent at the athletes village at Brock University, all of the athletes were excited and proud to wear their full Team NL gear into the ceremonies. 

Team NL is the first contingent to be 100% compliant on CCES. As part of attending the Niagara Canada Summer Games, Team NL mission staff, athletes, and coaches were required to complete Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport e-learning training, including True Sport Clean training which promotes values in sport and addresses the components of the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP). Modules included information about substances and methods on the Prohibited List, the sample collection process, the whereabouts program, athlete rights and responsibilities, supplements, and more.

Team NL had a busy travel day yesterday arriving into Niagara. While Team NL athletes had a long travel day it was a distinct privilege to be able to be one of the first teams to arrive to Niagara on a charter flight to land directly into Niagara at the Niagara District Airport, alongside Team New Brunswick.
