‘A kind of safe space’: Invictus athletes set to inspire in Vancouver More than 20 other countries are competing in Vancouver and Whistler for the 2025 Invictus Games.

“Belanger calls Invictus a “giant safe space.” Her teammate, and Canada’s other co-captain Kiernan Underwood, considers the games transformational. “It’s almost like the most amped up group therapy that you have,” Underwood said.” #IG25 #InvictusGames #PrinceHarry

Nearly 100 people in the room here at the Chief Joe Mathias Centre at Xwmélts’stn as well as 50 up in Squamish and another 50 online all participating in community conversations to create a Squamish Nation Constitution. It’s an ambitious and historic project.

Got to capture a distinct moment with the #InvictusGames2025 medals that are stored in a traditional coast Salish bentwood box. And the medals themselves are cushioned and stored in a traditional woven “quarter bags”. They are stunning. Can’t wait to participate in a few medal ceremonies.

It’s been a great journey to here & now we host the world on our territories. Chen Chen Stway (holding each other up through everything)
