Canada's Paralympic team earned 15 medals at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games, finishing sixth overall, prompting calls for increased funding despite strong performances and historic wins.

Canada's Paralympic team finished eighth in gold medals and sixth overall at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games with 15 medals, a decline from Beijing 2022, prompting CEO Karen O’Neill to call for increased funding amid nearly 18 years without core support increases. She cited strong performances in top-five and top-eight finishes as evidence of talent development, while highlighting emotional achievements like ice hockey silver and wheelchair curling gold. The team included several first-time medallists, though one medal was lost due to alpine skier Mollie Jepsen’s injury withdrawal. The government and IPC praised the athletes’ resilience and inclusivity efforts, while IPC President Andrew Parsons expressed disappointment over attempts to politicize the Games, stressing the need to uphold impartial rules despite global tensions.
