and build excitement for the start of the Games. The Rally will begin at 7:00 pm at the Delta Prince Edward (Charlottetown), is open to the public, and is free of charge. All supporters are encouraged to attend to help send off the provincial delegation in style. Specific information will be provided to teams to indicate what time they should arrive and what the attire will be for the event.
