Hosted by B.C. Pavilion Corporation and the Vancouver Convention Centre, the event is free to attend for the public.
“On behalf of Premier John Horgan and our entire government, we wish the best of luck to every member of Team Canada headed to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic and, in particular, the athletes with B.C. connections,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport in a recent media release. “You are truly an inspiration to us all, and we can't wait to cheer you on as you make your mark and go for the gold."
