Team Canada is always evolving — a unique delegation is selected for each recognized event.

Since team’s are build specifically for each event, there could be more than one team in existence at any point in time. Keep in mind that the criteria and procedures for selecting members are still being developed and revised, and will continue to evolve as we learn more from nominating and sending teams to events.
