Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Unveil Invictus Games Logo In Canada

POSTED ON February 15, 2024 •   Entertainment      BY Segun Adewole

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made a significant contribution to the unveiling of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 logo, marking a historic collaboration between the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam, and Lil’wat Nations. This landmark event represents the first time all four First Nations have come together to create a piece of art.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently in Canada to participate in the One Year to Go celebrations for the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025.

During their visit on Wednesday, the royal couple took a tour of the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre, a museum and art gallery dedicated to the First Nations. The collaboration on the Invictus Games logo highlights the significance of Indigenous representation and cooperation in cultural and sporting events.

The term "First Nations" refers to Indigenous peoples in Canada who are descendants of the country's original inhabitants and have inhabited the land for thousands of years prior to the arrival of European explorers. The involvement of these communities in shaping the identity and visual representation of the Invictus Games underscores the importance of inclusivity and recognition of Indigenous cultures in national and international events.

The presence of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at the unveiling ceremony reflects their ongoing commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and social causes on a global scale. Their participation in the Invictus Games celebrations amplifies the message of unity and resilience championed by the event, which honors wounded, injured, and sick armed services personnel and veterans through adaptive sports.

As preparations for the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 continue, the collaborative effort behind the logo serves as a testament to the power of partnership and the rich cultural heritage of Canada's Indigenous peoples.
