Canada competed at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics in London, United Kingdom, 4–13 August 2017.
On July 18, 2017, a team of 48 athletes was announced to represent the country at the championships.[1] The team was later increased to 57 athletes after the IAAF issued invites to athletes to round out fields in each event.[2][3]
2015 double bronze medallist and three time medallist at the 2016 Summer Olympics Andre de Grasse withdrew from the competition after tearing his hamstring in practice before the competition.[4]
