Invictus Games flag tour coming to Red Deer

The Invictus Games National Flag Tour is coming to Red Deer.

Central Albertans are invited to a flag signing and to take pictures with athletes at the Red Deer Legion on Wednesday, Aug. 23 starting at 4 p.m.

Leading up to the Invictus Games in Toronto, the Official Invictus Games Flag is travelling with 150 Flagbearers from coast to coast to “bring the spirit of the Games and the power of sport to all Canadians.”

The 37-day tour began August 16 in Victoria and will visit 22 military bases, 15 legions and over 50 communities across the country.

The Invictus Games, started by Prince Harry, is an international Paralympic-style multi-sport event in which wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel and their associated veterans take part in sports including wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, and indoor rowing.
