Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 Opening and Closing Ceremonies

Patrick Roberge Productions (PRP) will create the marquee events hosted in two of the country’s most iconic event venues – BC Place and Rogers Arena – with an invitation to support and experience the unconquerable human spirit and the power of the Invictus Games.

On the strength of the invitation to their home from the Four Host First Nations, Lil̓wat7úl (Líl̓wat), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), the 2025 Invictus Games were awarded to Vancouver and Whistler. The Four Host First Nations will be integral to every aspect of the Ceremonies, including honouring their traditions by officially naming the events “Opening Ceremony: Welcome” and “Closing Ceremony: Celebration”.   

The Ceremonies are being planned to ensure affordability through both family-friendly event timing, ticket pricing and availability. More details including ticketing information, talent lineup and broadcast information will be released in the coming months.
