About Commonwealth Games Movement
The three core values of the Commonwealth Games movement are Humanity, Equality and Destiny, which were adopted by the Games movement in 2001. These values inspire and unite millions of people and symbolize the broad mandate for holding the Games within the Commonwealth.
A sporting contest that brought together members of the British Empire was first proposed by Reverend Ashley Cooper when he suggested a Pan-Britannic, Pan-Anglican Contest and Festival every four years to foster goodwill and understanding within the Empire. In 1928, a key Canadian athlete, Bobby Robinson, was given the responsibility of organizing the first British Empire Games, which culminated in the first-ever Commonwealth Games being held in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, in 1930. These first Games saw the participation of 400 athletes from 11 countries.
