- Due to travel and competition schedules, McGregor and Wilkie will be filmed carrying their flags inside their respective Paralympic villages instead of leading a Verona Arena parade.

- Wilkie will lead Canada's 15-athlete Para nordic ski team into the Games, with a pre-show coverage starting at 1:30 p.m. ET on CBC, CBC Gem, and cbcsports.ca.
