The Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities, today encouraged all 35 million Canadians, from coast to coast to coast, to unite on August 4, 2016 to send a virtual fist bump-a universal sign of support-to the Canadian athletes who will represent us at the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

We are asking all Canadians to:

Let's get behind our athletes and celebrate them and the memories they create for all of us. Let's unite as one team, #35Mstrong!

"Along with all Canadians, I'm so excited for the athletes and coaches who will represent us all at the upcoming Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. They need to know that although thousands of kilometres separate us at home from Team Canada in Rio, we are all behind them-35 million strong-and we look forward to the stories they are about to tell with their performances at the Games. As August 4 marks the start of the 150-day countdown to the launch of celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017, this is a special moment to honour our sporting history-and future."

-The Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities
