Oakley Canada has announced a partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) to be the Official Licensee and Official High Performance Optical Wear Supplier of the Canadian Olympic Team.

The agreement spans 2013-2016, asthma covering the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, ampoule the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

“As a brand and as a product, Oakley encompasses the attitude, innovation, passion and performance we look for in Canadian Olympic Team partners,” said Marcel Aubut, President of the Canadian Olympic Committee. “On behalf of the Canadian Olympic Committee, I am delighted to officially welcome Oakley to our Canadian Olympic family.”

“It is a tremendous honour for Oakley to be named the official high performance optical supplier to the Canadian Olympic Team,” said Hilary Hartley, General Manager of Oakley Canada. “As a company with a long history of supporting the dedication of Olympic athletes, we are proud of this partnership.”

“I’m so excited that Oakley is joining forces with the Canadian Olympic Team,” enthused four-time Olympic medallist and Chair of the COC’s Athletes’ Commission, Adam van Koeverden. “Oakley has been one of my greatest sponsors and supporters on and off the water for over a decade, and I think it’s an amazing opportunity for our athletes. In my opinion, Oakley makes the best eyewear on the planet, and like our world-class athletes, they are just as focused on being number one, so it’s a tremendous fit. I can’t wait to try out the new line.”
