Joy D'Souza (Huffington Post Canada, 03/05/2016)
Prince Harry joined Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for a private meeting prior to kicking off the official countdown to the 2017 Invictus Games on Monday.
Following their meeting, the pair were joined by Premier Kathleen Wynne, Toronto Mayor John Tory and members of the Canadian Invictus Team at the Fairmont Royal York for the official launch event. The Games are a sporting event for military personnel, and for the first time, will be hosted in the city next year.
During the event, the prince said he's been assured the 2017 games will be bigger than ever before. He went on to say the Toronto games will feature more sports and more competitors. Wynne's sentiments backed up those of the Prince, as she noted the province is committing $10 million dollars in support of the Games over the course of two years.

Harry said he was proud to be part of the event's "unconquerable spirit of determination" first expressed by competitors during the inaugural Games staged in London.
He is gearing up for the follow-up Invictus which will be held in Orlando, Florida, next week but flew to Canada to help kick-off the third Games which will be hosted by Toronto in 2017.

The choreographed challenges began last Friday, when Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, tweeted a short video at Prince Harry. It showed them standing with their arms crossed over their chests in front of a line of three uniformed officers, looking as if they had a bone to pick with the royal family.
