Team New Brunswick mission staff announced for upcoming Canada Games

Mission staff have been selected to lead Team New Brunswick at the 2022 Canada Summer Games in Niagara, Ont., and the 2023 Canada Winter Games in Prince Edward Island.

Mission staff play a lead role in supporting athletes, coaches and managers, and contribute in a variety of ways to ensure that all Team NB preparations are in place. We are excited to welcome representatives from across the province to support Team NB at the upcoming Canada Games.

Mission staff volunteers were selected based on their experience and involvement within the New Brunswick amateur sport system. About 20 mission staff will accompany Team NB athletes to each set of Canada Games.

Chef de mission Nicole Smith will lead the team of mission staff to ensure Team NB participants have a successful and fulfilling experience, from working with the host committee on transportation, accommodation and sport schedules, to delivering mandatory training to all participants.

“Our focus has always been, and will always be, on the athletes,” said Smith. “We want to give every team member the best chance to produce their best performance on the day that matters most to them. It is very exciting to have such a high-calibre group of passionate sport leaders together to support the athletes on their journey.”
