MISSISSAUGA, Ont. – Canadian Olympians were given a hero’s send-off at Toronto’s Pearson Airport as they departed for the Paris Games on Wednesday night.
Twenty-five athletes and Team Canada supporting staff were cheered on by passengers and airport staff and as they boarded their flight to Paris.
The small contingent departing Toronto comprised athletes who will represent Canada in skateboarding, artistic swimming, taekwondo and breaking.
Among the group was first-time Olympian Philip Kim, a 27-year-old from Vancouver who will contend in the inaugural breaking competition.
The group will join other members of Team Canada for the opening ceremonies on Friday.
The Paris Olympics end with the closing ceremonies on Aug. 11.
