Congratulations on your retirement Brian Rowland 🇨🇦
Brian Rowland joined Team Canada in 2019 after winning silver at the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer, Alberta. Competing in the sitting category following a motorcycle injury in 2015, Brian never let the injury slow him down. Away from the slopes, he continues to surf, mountain bike and Jet Ski.
Rowland captured the first World Cup podium of his career in the final race of the 2022–23 season, skiing to third place in the men’s sitting downhill. He also represented Canada at both the 2022 Beijing Paralympic Winter Games and the 2026 Milano Cortina Paralympic Winter Games.
Landing that World Cup downhill podium was the highlight of his career, but Brian had plenty more to celebrate this spring, winning all three Canadian national titles in Kimberley, B.C., to cap his alpine racing career.
Brian would like to thank the coaches and teammates who helped create so many great memories on the road over the years. His journey has also been shaped by his admiration for Terry Fox, inspiring him to give back and mentor young athletes.
Now, Brian is looking forward to spending more time with his family, continuing to free ski, and taking on a new challenge: archery 🏹
Congratulations on an incredible career, Brian. We’re inspired by everything you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see what comes next. 🇨🇦
