The 2024 Summer Olympic Games (XXXIII Olympiad) officially branded Paris 2024, will officially commence on July 26 and run to August 11 2024 (with some competitions starting on July 24). According to a Leger survey for the Association for Canadian Studies conducted July 12-15, 2024 , most Canadians have high expectations for the performance of Canadian athletes with the expectation that we’ll surpass our medal count from the 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo where team Canada finished 11th overall with 24 medals -the country’s second best total all-time at a Summer Games.
