The IQA Summer Games (July 8-9) are fast approaching and
so far there are confirmed teams from the United States, the United
Kingdom, France, and Australia. However, Canada does not have a team -
yet! It is last minute, but there is a group of us trying to make a team
to represent Canada for this international event. If you are at all
interested, please check out our Facebook page here:
https://www.facebook.com/
Feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, invite anybody who might be
interested, etc. You can also message me personally via Facebook. On the page, please
enter our poll to indicate if you are ready to commit or are even just
considering it.
Who can be on the team? Any Canadian Quidditch players are welcome,
including Canadians who have been playing on American teams or any
international teams (if you are already in Europe it would be super cheap
for you!). Also, anybody who plays for a Canadian team but is not
Canadian is also welcome if you are happy to represent Canada at the
games! Costs are still being determined, and will likely vary as we will
be flying there from different parts of the country. However, many of us
have been finding return flights from $500 – $1000, and there are lots of
opportunities for free or very cheap accommodation once we are there. Let
us know if you have any fundraising ideas! The main thing right now
though is to express your interest ASAP so that we can confirm our
participation in this amazing event. Thanks so much!

Thank you for the advertisement! We are working with a great company in developing the jerseys; they will soon be released to see!
Let’s hope team Canada will pull through!

I would like to promote the Canadian Team at the Olympics. Do you have a rough sketch of the Canadian Jersey?

I don’t know if I can post the image on this page (is there an attach button anywhere?) but I will be sending you the image shortly through email! I would love to talk to you more about this! For others interested, we are currently working on how the jersey sales will be organized, and hopefully the design will be posted on the IQA page for sale or at least we will be able to forward you to wherever you can buy the jerseys from.

Hi! I was just about to purchase a Team UK jersey when I saw that there might be a Canadian jersey! Can you confirm that there will be one? If so, I would much rather the one from my own Contry and would hold off on my purchase. But if there isnt going to be one I would like to know so I can purchase one of the other’s as I would really like to support this
If there is a Canadian one, could you forward me the pic?

Canadian jersey sales will be up soon! We are just sorting out final logistics on how to order/ship and what to charge. The best way to keep posted is on the Canadian Olympic Quidditch facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/162600843871040/ (you have to request to join but I check it quite regularly) but yeah, jersey sales SOON! And they look good!
