The sporting competition was founded by Prince Harry as a way to inspire and motivate wounded soldiers on their paths to recovery. All the athletes are service veterans who have suffered an injury.

Tickets are also still available for the Sept. 23 opening ceremonies, which will feature performances from Canadian singer-songwriters Alessia Cara and Sarah McLachlan and the Tenors.

Alessia Cara will perform at the opening ceremonies, along with Sarah McLachlan and the Tenors.

Sporting event tickets cost $25 and both opening and closing ceremony tickets start at $60. There will be 550 competitors from 17 countries coming to Toronto to compete in 12 sports, including track and field, swimming and, in a first for the Invictus Games, golf.
