With just 200 days to go, the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, presented by ATCO and Boeing, kicked off its I AM Vancouver Whistler 2025 campaign today, a comprehensive multi-media engagement encouraging people everywhere to share their I AM on social media, attend by pre-registering online for Ceremonies tickets and donate to support the successful staging of the Games.

To celebrate the start of the campaign, the first of ten larger-than-life striking black and yellow interactive I AM Vancouver Whistler 2025 signs featuring the Games’ signature visual identity created by Four Host First Nations artists was unveiled at Vancouver’s scenic Jack Poole Plaza. Each sign offers a super-sized inspirational backdrop for an I AM photo or video and a scannable QR code to access the dedicated web page at invictusgames2025.ca/IAM which asks:

The Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 are coming. The Games will bring together wounded, injured and sick military service members and Veterans from around the world on a courageous journey of recovery through the healing power of sport. Their inspiration? I AM Unconquered. I AM Invictus. On your journey, what’s your I AM?

I AM is the motto for the Invictus Games and is inspired by the last two lines of the poem Invictus by English poet William Ernest Henley: “I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.”  I AM reflects and defines the Invictus Games’ core purpose: to provide a platform for personal achievement, to compete not just against each other, but against oneself. 

Nine similar I AM interactive signs will be popping up in prominent and well-loved Vancouver and Whistler locations leading up to the Games (sites to be announced soon). All ten I AM signs were manufactured in Canada, the first (and only) illuminated I AM sign being the largest at 10’w x 8’h x 6’d, weighing 976lbs. The subsequent nine signs will each measure 10’w x 8’h x 3’d and weigh just over 400lbs.

There are unsung heroes among us all, wounded, injured and sick service members and Veterans who inspire us through their journey of shared recovery, hope, courage, and healing.  I AM inviting people everywhere to get to know and join the Invictus family,”

Scott Moore

CEO, Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025

“Ask yourself: what is my I AM? What defines me? And you can share that using the hashtag #ShareYourIAM and visit our [Vancouver Whistler 2025] website for much more on how you can participate in the unconquered spirit of Invictus," said Scott Moore, CEO, Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025.
