The programme offers over 100 free online education resources aimed at sparking discussions about the Olympic values, telling captivating stories, and engaging Canadians in adopting healthy lifestyles.In addition, Destination Tokyo provides students the opportunity to join Team Canada athletes on a journey to Japan. With over 360000 downloads in less than 1 year, Destination Tokyo is inspiring the nation to strive to achieve their best. In collaboration with the Embassy of Canada to Japan, Destination Tokyo has been translated to Japanese with the goal of sharing these resources with educators across Japan.Throughout the Spring of 2020, the COSP spread the We Are All Team Canada message through the creation of Canadian Olympic Activity Calendars.
