Its purpose is to organize the summer and winter Paralympic Games and act as the International Federation for 10 sports (Para alpine skiing, Para athletics, Para biathlon, Para cross- country skiing, Para ice hockey, Para powerlifting, shooting Para sport, Para snowboard, Para swimming, Para dance sport), supervising and coordinating World Championships and other competitions. The vision of the IPC, run by 200 members, is ‘To enable Paralympic athletes to achieve sporting excellence and inspire and excite the world.’ Read More INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE SYMBOL - THE AGITOS The Paralympic Symbol (three Agitos) consists of three elements in red, blue and green – the three colours that are most widely represented in national flags around the world. The three Agitos (from the Latin meaning “I move”) encircling a central point symbolize motion, emphasizing the role of the Paralympic Movement in bringing athletes together from all corners of the world to compete. - 3 - TABLE OF CONTENTS CANADIAN PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE The Canadian Paralympic Committee is a non-profit, private organization with 25 member sport organizations dedicated to leading and strengthening the Paralympic Movement. The Canadian Paralympic Committee’s vision is to be the world’s leading Paralympic nation. Its mission is to lead the development of a sustainable Paralympic sport system in Canada to enable athletes to reach the podium at the Paralympic Games. By supporting Canadian high performance athletes with a disability and promoting their success, the Canadian Paralympic Committee inspires all Canadians with a disability to get involved in sport through programs delivered by its member organizations. Canadians have participated in the modern Paralympic Games since 1968. The creation of the Canadian Federation of Sport Organizations for the Disabled in 1981, which later became the Canadian Paralympic Committee, enabled Canadian athletes to continue to officially participate as a team. At the Canadian Paralympic Committee, we are athlete-centered. Our values bring us together as an organization. We know them. We use them. We live them. We take pride in the work we do and how we do it. Excellence Integrity Focus Team BRAND STORY The Canadian Paralympic Committee is a powerful and vibrant reflection of our country. Our brand story revolves around our incredible athletes. Paralympic athletes train hard, compete with intensity and push the boundaries of human achievement. Their disability does not make them different. They are athletes first – they do it for the athletic achievement and competition. They are driven by their pursuit of excellence. The tools and information in this Brand Book will help those who communicate consistently, coherently, verbally and visually, on behalf of the Canadian Paralympic Committee to support its brand. This book is your source for information and will provide you with the tools you need to clearly define the Canadian Paralympic Committee, and its characteristics and present it to Canadians and the world. - 4 - TABLE OF CONTENTS IDENTITIES CANADIAN PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE LOGO OVERVIEW The Emblem of the Maple Leaf is the focal graphic element that comprises the brand image of the Canadian Paralympic Team Symbol. It is a combination of the most recognizable Canadian symbol - the maple leaf - and a stylized flame, representing the Paralympic Torch and the passion that unites all Canadian Paralympic Committee ambassadors. The International Paralympic Movement’s identity consists of three elements in red, blue and green, known as Agitos (from the latin word “agito”, meaning “I move”). The unification of these two identities enclosed in a circle symbolizes the Canadian Paralympic Committee’s proud commitment to Canadians with disabilities through sport. This overall identity is an expression of partnership, leadership and fairness, while promoting a strong and vibrant Paralympic Movement across the nation.
