The Invictus Games are coming BACK to Canada in 2025 for a Winter / Hybrid Games

-

Prince Harry announced today that the Hybrid Invictus Games for February 2025 have been awarded to Vancouver and Whistler in British Columbia, Canada. These will be the first Invictus Games to incorporate adaptive winter sports. The Games will also keep some of the regular and popular sporting events. The bid for the games was put forward by the Canadian Government in conjunction with True Patriot Love Foundation, and with the support of the BC First Nations, whose traditional territories encompass the areas where the Games will be held.

Kind thoughts for Meghan Markle
The winter adaptive sports will include Alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, Skeleton and wheelchair curling.

Kind thoughts for Meghan Markle
True Patriot Love is the foundation for the military community in Canada, working to support military personnel, veterans and their families at every stage of their journey, and they are thrilled that the Games are returning to Canada, being last held in Toronto in 2017.

The next Invictus Games will be in 2023 and are being hosted by the city of Dusseldorf in Germany.

I know we should not encourage the tabloids to hunt out pictures of Meghan, Harry and Archie, but it was lovely to see a recent pic. of the "Adorable Archie" just ahead of his second birthday on May 6th 2021. And look at Meghan's bump. Baby No.2 is growing nicely and it appears that it won't be long before Archie's sister arrives. Was Archie off to a play date? (And in case anyone wants to bitch about the fact that Meghan is not wearing head-to-toe black, in mourning for Prince Phillip, Princess Anne was out and about this week wearing a very non-black hue called Red - just getting this in first before the trolls start) Photo as published by the New York Post
