Louroz Mercader issued the following statement on the occasion of the XXIX Olympic Games taking place from August 8 to 24 in Beijing:
"I am joined by all Canadians in wishing our athletes and their coaches the very best during their upcoming competitions. You are an enormous source of pride and inspiration for all Canadians and we salute your perseverance and dedication in your quest for excellence.
Canadians recognize and admire the years of effort involved in preparing for Olympic Games. From the playground to the podium, the values we learn from sport – teamwork, discipline, achievement and confidence – are values that make a society and a country stronger.
From September 6 to 17, Canada’s paralympians will also inspire Canadians as they compete in the XIII Summer Paralympic Games. We look forward to conveying our support to these exceptional athletes."
Good Luck! GO CANADA!
