RBC Training Ground returns to the Yukon for the first time since 2019!

RBC, the Canadian Olympic Committee, and Canadian Olympic Foundation partnered in 2016 to launch RBC Training Ground – a series of regional qualifying events designed to help find and fund athletes with Olympic potential.

At RBC Training Ground, athletes between the ages of 14 and 25 test their speed, strength, power, and endurance in front of National Sport Organization talent scouts and the Canadian Olympic Paralympic Sport Institute Network.

Results are then compared against high-performance benchmarks, and (up to) 35 athletes are selected to receive funding and support needed to pursue their Olympic dreams.
