The 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea will be welcomed with a glittering opening ceremony tomorrow and there will be excitement and anticipation across Canada as the games get underway.
Once again, Canada will be proudly represented by some superb athletes and this year Team Canada will be bigger, and perhaps more successful, than ever before – with 225 athletes taking part and a large medal haul predicted by many.
Among those 225 athletes will be 68 from Ontario and, from that total, there are 30 who call the Greater Toronto Area home.
