The Government wants to highlight the important role that sport plays in our country. The Commonwealth Games help strengthen our reputation as a leading sport nation. They also allow us to join together and cheer on our athletes as they compete against the world’s best. Our government is proud to support the Commonwealth Games Association of Canada and the athletes who make up Team Canada. Our athletes truly embody the Commonwealth Games’ values of humanity, equality and destiny. Along with Canadians from coast to coast to coast, we congratulate them on their remarkable achievements and celebrate their contributions to the world of sport. We stand behind our athletes every step of the way because they are a great source of inspiration for us all. As Minister of Science and Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities, I would like to thank the organizers and volunteers, as well as the people of Gold Coast, Queensland and Australia, for hosting these Games and welcoming the members of the Commonwealth family. Best wishes to everyone taking part! The Honourable Kirsty Duncan Welcome to Gold Coast, Australia! It’s an honour and privilege to serve as Canada’s Chef de Mission here in beautiful Gold Coast. I have been a fan of the Commonwealth Games since I was a child growing up in Montreal, watching the Games and cheering on the athletes with my family. I delayed my own retirement from sport in order to compete at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, and it was well worth the wait – a memorable experience that solidified my appreciation for this unique sport movement. The Commonwealth Games unite us all in our mutual passion for all the good things sport gives us – from the joy of fandom to the pride of athletic achievement. They also hold a special place in our hearts as Canadians, as Canada is their birthplace; we hosted the first ever Games in 1930 in Hamilton. These Games are a world-class sport competition that play an important role in the Canadian sport development pathway and the international sport calendar. As you put your physical and mental strength to the test here in Gold Coast, know that Canadians are behind you, celebrating your performances. Assistant Chef de Mission, Benoit Huot, the dedicated members of our Mission team and I will do everything in our power to pragmatically and enthusiastically support you along the way. Thank you to the Gold Coast Organizing Committee and to Australia for their warm welcome, and I wish them a great Games. And of course, I congratulate every member of our 2018 Canadian Team for their selection to Team Canada, and wish all of you an excellent sporting and cultural experience here in Gold Coast. Finally, may this be a highlight of your sport career. May you take the time to truly live the moment. Best, Claire Carver-Dias Chef de Mission Team Canada Gold Coast 2018 Welcome to Gold Coast, Australia! I’m so excited to be in Gold Coast at my 4th Commonwealth Games and am honoured to have been chosen as Team Canada’s Flag-Bearer. I cannot wait to walk alongside Canada's best summer athletes during the opening ceremonies. I’d like to welcome back those of you who have already competed at the Commonwealth Games and congratulate the newcomers – you are in for an experience you won’t soon forget! The competition level is exceptional at the Games and you will build lasting friendships. I wish you, my fellow amazing Canadian teammates, the best of success during your events over the next two weeks and I look forward to meeting many of you in Gold Coast! I love the Commonwealth Games experience and I’m sure you will too. I will do my best to represent our country and – more importantly – you, this exceptional group of athletes that is Team Canada at Gold Coast 2018.

As such, most athletics events date back to prehistory. The discus throw and various running events, for example, were part of the ancient Olympic Games, while the marathon was introduced at the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 to honour the ancient Greek soldier Pheidippides.

    History of the Commonwealth Games

    GAMES HISTORY INTRODUCTION In past centuries, the British Empire’s power and influence stretched all over the world. It started at the time of Elizabeth 1 when Sir Francis Drake and other explorers started to challenge the Portuguese and Spanish domination of the world. The modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949, with ‘British’ dropped from the name and with Logo of the Commonwealth many countries becoming independent, but Games Federation choosing to remain part of the group of nations called the Commonwealth. The first recorded Games between British Empire athletes were part of the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V in 1911. The Games were called the 'Festival of Empire' and included Athletics, Boxing, Wrestling and Swimming events. At the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the friendliness between the Empire athletes revived the idea of the Festival of Empire. Canadian, Bobby Robinson, called a meeting of British Empire sports representatives, who agreed to his proposal to hold the first Games in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were called the British Empire Games, and until 1962 were called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. From 1966 to 1974 they became the British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as the Commonwealth Games. HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1930 British Empire Games Hamilton, Canada 16-23 August The first official Commonwealth Games, held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930 were called the British Empire Games. Competing Countries (11) Australia, Bermuda, British Guiana (now Guyana), Canada, England, Newfoundland (now part of Canada), New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Wales.
