Gold Medal Plates is the ultimate celebration of Canadian Excellence in cuisine, wine, entertainment and athletic achievement in support of the Canadian Olympic Foundation. The annual event features superb wines and the premier chefs in six cities across Canada, paired with Canadian Olympic and Paralympic athletes, in a competition to crown a gold, silver and bronze medal culinary team in each city, and subsequently nation-wide. The proceeds of the event help Canada's winter and summer athletes achieve podium success at upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Foundation generates funds to meet the technical, scientific, medical and coaching needs of Canada's high performance sport system and assists Canadian athletes in becoming ambassadors for sport, healthy living and the pursuit of excellence across the nation.
