- Susko and Ellis will line up in women's singles while Allan and Podulsky enter the Olympic debut of women's doubles and Wardrope and Zajanski compete in men's doubles, with two Whistler-area athletes rounding out the roster.
- Coaches led by Robert Fegg will accompany the athletes, including Duncan Kenney, Tim Neenan and team leader Sam Edney, as Team Canada builds on two Olympic luge medals from PyeongChang 2018.
- Performance questions persist for Devin Wardrope and Cole Zajanski after an interrupted winter, though Cole Zajanski's rehab plan strengthened his shoulder and Sam Edney called the young team proven.
