Canada at the Paralympics

 The Paralympics are done. The flame extinguished. Speeches made. And the handover to Los Angeles 2028. Canada finishes with 29 medals. 10g, 9s, 10b. 13 medals in the pool. A world record thrown in there. Nicholas Bennett (2g, 1s), Brent Lakatos (1g, 1s), Austin Smeenk (1g, 1b), Aurelie Rivard (1g, 1s, 1b), Cody Fournier (2g) and Tess Routliffe (1s, 1b) are the multiple medalists I can find. So that is it for another 4 year cycle. Next winter games are Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo in 2026, next summer games, as mentioned, is in Los Angeles in 2028.
