Canada competed at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics in Gangwon, South Korea, from January 19 to February 1, 2024. This was Canada's fourth appearance at the Winter Youth Olympic Games, having competed at every Games since the inaugural edition in 2012.

The Canadian team consisted of 79 athletes (48 men and 31 women) competing in 12 sports.[1] [2] The country did not qualify athletes in skeleton or nordic combined, and chose not to send athletes in speed skating. Freestyle skier Charlie Beatty and curler Chloe Fediuk were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony.[3] [4] Meanwhile, figure skaters Kole Sauve and Annika Behnke were the country's flagbearers during the closing ceremony.[5]

In March 2023, curler Lisa Weagle was named as the country's chef de mission.[6] [7]
