Prince Harry created the Invictus Games specifically for wounded, injured and sick armed services personnel after serving in Afghanistan in 2008. The former army officer came up with the multi-sport event after seeing a British team compete in 2013’s Warrior Games.

The first Invictus Games took place London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in 2014, where several hundred competitors from more than 13 countries took part. The second Invictus Games were held last year in Orlando, Florida, and next year’s games will be in Sydney, Australia.

The games begin Saturday night, kicking off eight days full of sporting events that include 12 adaptive sports that will feature 550 competitors from 17 nations. The games will end on Saturday, September 30, with a concert featuring Bruce Springsteen, Kelly Clarkson and Bryan Adams.

There has been speculation that Harry will also be making an appearance with another headline-making woman in Toronto — his girlfriend, Suits star Meghan Markle, who shoots the USA network series in the Canadian city.
