Canadian-American actor and comedian Mike Myers has been announced as an official ambassador for the Invictus Games Toronto 2017.

The Austin Powers star commented 'I am thrilled to be able to participate in an active role at the Invictus Games, taking place in the city where I grew up. The military background of my parents, who both served in Britain, makes this a cause that is near and dear to my heart. I am so honoured to be part of a Games where the focus is on supporting active service members and veterans who have given so much to their countries'.
