Bell Media Becomes Exclusive Broadcast Partner of the INVICTUS GAMES TORONTO 2017, Airing on TSN; Prince Harry Visits Toronto on May 2 to Officially Launch 2017 Games

“These Games have shone a spotlight on the ‘unconquerable’ character of service men and women and their families and their ‘Invictus’ spirit. These Games have been about seeing guys sprinting for the finish line and then turning round to clap the last man in. They have been about teammates choosing to cross the line together, not wanting to come second, but not wanting the other guys to either. These Games have shown the very best of the human spirit.”

– Prince Harry, Patron of the INVICTUS GAMES
