Ottawa, ON, – Archery Canada is proud to announce the archers being named to the 2026 Senior National Teams, in the disciplines of Recurve, Compound and Paralympic Archery.

The 2026 season begins the pathway to the LA 2028 Games, with all teams looking to earn quota(s) at the 2026 Pan Am Championships, in Guadalajara Mexico in June. Quotas earned at the Pan Am Championships qualify the Canadian Archery team to compete at the 2027 Pan American Games, to be held in Lima Peru in late 2027. At those games, it is anticipated that the first quota spots for the LA 2028 Games will be on the line.
