The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) and Rock-it Cargo are pleased to announce the eight-year renewal of their partnership through 2032.
June 27, 2024
Rock-it Cargo first signed a nine-year partnership with the COC in 2015. Through this renewal, Rock-it Cargo will continue to be the Official Freight Forwarder and Customs Broker of Team Canada.
Rock-it Cargo’s air, ocean, and land freight services support has been instrumental in Team Canada’s success so far on the road to Paris 2024. This year, the COC will send upwards of 10,700 kilograms of cargo to and from Paris, including athlete and mission team kits, large sporting equipment, and production material for the largest-ever Canada Olympic House.
“The first nine years of our partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee have been an incredible and wild ride covering three Olympic Games in Asia and two Pan Am Games in South America, including two extraordinary Games under the cloud of Covid,” said Josh Gordon, Director, Sports & Broadcast, Rock-it Cargo. “Our relationship with the COC has excelled in the face of adversity while our team at Rock-it has embraced the challenge of ensuring that the team behind the team is performing at an elite level to guarantee that the stage is set for the athletes to shine when the Games begin. We look forward to another eight years of collaboration with the COC as we continue to raise the bar with best-in-class logistics solutions, so their team can focus on the push for the podium.”
“It is truly amazing how much goes into transporting Team Canada, including all of its cargo and equipment, to and from an Olympic Games,” said Jacqueline Ryan, Chief Brand and Commercial Officer at the Canadian Olympic Committee and CEO of the Canadian Olympic Foundation. “Rock-it Cargo is such an important partner, and we’re so proud to continue working with them to ensure Team Canada shows up around the world the right way, with our values front and centre.”
