Here's how to watch team Canada at the 2019 World Relays in Yokohama, Japan

This weekend is the 2019 World Relays and Canada is sending an extremely strong team. The team is hoping to use this meet to qualify several relay squads for the 2019 World Championships in Doha and they’ve got a good shot.
