York Region cheers on 19 local athletes competing in 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games

On behalf of York Regional Council and The Regional Municipality of York, it gives me great pleasure to extend congratulations and appreciation to the 19 York Region-based athletes competing in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

The Olympic Games are a reminder of worldwide unity. They bring together athletes from all areas of the world who speak different languages and represent different cultures and religions. They unite us together in competition, cooperation, national pride and a love of sport.

To the 19 York Region athletes competing in everything from soccer, badminton, swimming and athletics to shooting, table tennis, rugby and volleyball, I extend gratitude and appreciation for your tremendous dedication and commitment to your sport. The honour of representing Canada at the Olympic Games is a testament to the effort, sacrifices and perseverance of these athletes and their coaches, families, friends and communities.

Sport is universal and the dedicated women and men of Canada’s 2S024 Olympic team represent the rich diversity of our country and our local communities. For the next two weeks, residents will join with others around the globe to share in the excitement and joy of these tremendous athletes:

On behalf of more than 1.25 million residents who call our communities home, congratulations to all Canadian athletes. Team York Region will be watching and cheering you on at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Good luck and we know you will all make us proud.

Wayne Emmerson
York Region Chairman and CEO
