TORONTO (January 12, 2026) — The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) today announced a new partnership with Kala Therapy, a Canadian wellness technology company specializing in red light therapy. Kala will become the Official Wellness Recovery Partner of Team Canada through the Milano Cortina 2026 and Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
This partnership recognizes the essential role wellness and recovery play in elite athletic performance, supporting resilience, focus, and longevity both on and off the field of play.
“We are pleased to welcome Kala Red Light Therapy to Team Canada ahead of Milano Cortina 2026,” said Jacqueline Ryan, Chief Brand and Commercial Officer of the COC and CEO of the Canadian Olympic Foundation. “This is an exciting new partnership based on a shared commitment to total athlete wellness. We know this will have a major, positive impact for Team Canada athletes on their Olympic journeys.”
“Growing up playing hockey in Canada and sharing the ice with athletes who now wear the Team Canada jersey, I never imagined we’d one day be working together on the Olympic stage,” said Cam Stajer, Founder and CEO of Kala Therapy. “To partner with Team Canada as the Official Wellness Recovery Partner is a full-circle moment. This isn’t just a business milestone — it’s a dream realized. At Kala, we believe recovery is not a luxury; it’s the foundation of performance. We’re proudly Canadian and honoured to support the Olympians who inspire the next generation to believe anything is possible.”
As part of the partnership, Kala Therapy will release special Team Canada Edition red light therapy products in advance of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. In addition, Kala Therapy announced partnerships with several Canadian athletes, including two-time Olympian and Olympic gold medalist Sarah Nurse, who will appear in an upcoming brand campaign. Kala also proudly partners with William Dandjinou, Piper Gilles, and Laurie Blouin.
