Charlottetown, PE, (February 18): On Saturday, the PEI 2023 Canada Winter Games were officially opened with the Opening Ceremony.
Team Saskatchewan entered the sold-out East Link Centre in Charlottetown, PE led by speed skater Luca Veeman, the team’s official flagbearer. Veeman, joined by the flagbearers of each province and territory took part in a ceremonial finish to the torch relay which, fittingly, was in the shape of a lighthouse.
The theme throughout the night was “we are all Islanders!” Performers and speakers welcomed the athletes, coaches and support staff to the province, claiming that all were honorary Islanders now.
