The 2024 Paris Paralympics wrapped up with a stunning closing ceremony despite rain.
It featured a tribute to Parisian nightlife with a spectacular light show and 24 artists from the French electronic music scene Sunday.
Para swimmer Nicholas Bennett and Para canoe’s Brianna Hennesy were Canada’s flag bearers.
The Canadian Paralympic team won 29 medals at the games – 10 gold, nine silver, and 10 bronze.
That ties our total of podiums from Rio 2016.
A Games to remember. Thank you Canada for supporting the Paris 2024 Canadian Paralympic Team!
