Canada’s Para athletes captured 10 medals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, contributing to the country’s overall tally of 62 medals as the Games came to a close.
Canada’s medal haul included one gold, three silver and six bronze medals across Para athletics, Para swimming and men’s 3×3 wheelchair basketball.
Sheriauna Haase of Toronto delivered Canada’s lone gold medal in the women’s T47 100 metres, setting a new Canadian record with a time of 12.23 seconds. Fellow Canadian Chloe Dunbar of Windsor, Nova Scotia, finished second in 12.33 seconds to complete a Canadian one-two finish on the podium.
Haase, a 2024 Paralympian, described the victory as an unforgettable experience, while Dunbar credited her teammate’s confidence and leadership for inspiring her own athletic journey.
Canada added silver medals through Michael Barber of Victoria in the men’s T20 1,500 metres and Noah Vucsics of Calgary in the men’s T20 long jump.
Bronze medals were won by George Quarcoo of Toronto and guide Segun Makinde of Ottawa in the men’s T12 100 metres, Zach Gingras of Markham, Ontario, in the men’s T38 100 metres, Nicolas-Guy Turbide in the men’s S13 50-metre freestyle, Mary Jibb of Muskoka, Ontario, in the women’s SM10 200-metre individual medley, Jack Gill of Brockville, Ontario, in the men’s S10 100-metre butterfly, and Canada’s men’s 3×3 wheelchair basketball team.
One of the Games’ most inspiring performances came from Quarcoo, who raced to bronze despite competing on two sprained ankles. Barber’s silver medal also marked a remarkable comeback after missing both the 2023 Parapan American Games and the 2024 Paralympics before recovering from serious injuries sustained in a 2024 car accident.
Canada fielded a record 35 Para athletes as part of its 149-member Commonwealth Games team. The country competed in Para athletics, Para swimming, Para lawn bowls and 3×3 wheelchair basketball, with athletes praising the integrated Games format that has included Para sports in the official Commonwealth Games programme since 2002.
Canada finished the competition with six medals in Para athletics, three in Para swimming and one in men’s 3×3 wheelchair basketball, highlighting another strong performance on the international stage.
