Ottawa, September 12, 2023 – Kyle Tremblay has been nominated to represent Canada in the sport of Para archery at the Santiago 2023 Parapan Am Games, the Canadian Paralympic Committee and Archery Canada announced on Tuesday.

Tremblay, who competes in the men’s compound open division, will be making his debut Parapan Am Games appearance. He has been a key member of Canada’s Para archery team for many years, and holds the current Canadian record in his category with a qualification score of 703 (out of a possible 720).

This season he is returning to competition after a three-year break due to illness, and has had a successful comeback, capturing a gold medal in individual and a bronze medal in mixed team at the 2023 Canada Cup archery events, both east and west editions. At this summer’s world championships in Pilsen, Czechia – his third world championships appearance (2017, 2019, 2023) – Tremblay was Canada’s top qualifier in 61st position before he lost a close match in the first elimination rounds.

Para archery competition at the Parapan Am Games will take place November 19-22. The top two finishers in the men’s compound event will earn a qualification spot for their country for next summer’s Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
