On November 1st, Vancouver hosted a gathering of Canada’s Top 100 athletes at the 2025 RBC Training Ground National Final. Surrounded by RBC Training Ground alumni and RBC Olympians, athletes tested their skills with the goal of being identified as an RBC Future Olympian by National Sport Organization (NSO) scouts.

Today, the Top 35, including wrestler Garette Saunders, from St. Catharines, Ontario’s, will receive funding and dedicated support as they continue their pursuit of representing Team Canada.

The support provided by RBC is more than financial, as athletes will receive mentorship from RBC Olympians, coaching from NSOs and resources to assist them in the transition into high performance sport. They’ll be in good company too, surrounded by a network of peers – all training towards reaching the same Olympic dream.

As we forge ahead, we can’t wait to follow and be a part of these Future Olympian stories. This crop of athletes is poised to write incredible chapters built on drive, grit and passion. For some a Top 35 nomination was earned on the first try, while for others this was the second or third attempt at National Final competition.

Join us in celebrating these Top 35 Future Olympians as they move closer to achieving their Team Canada dreams.
