Canada competed at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. 65 competitors, all men, took part in 39 events in 8 sports.^[1]

In January 1924, Canadian Olympic Committee secretary-treasurer Fred Marples announced that sending the Canadian team to the Summer Olympics would cost C$40,000.^[2] He stated that unless the Canadian Olympic Committee could raise $20,000 to $25,000 within a couple months, the national team would be small and not representative of Canadian athletics. He felt that it was the duty of all Canadian citizens to help, and urged contributions from individuals, organizations, and provincial governments.^[3]

J. Howard Crocker was appointed chairman of the track and field sub-committee to select athletes, and named committee members to represent each province.^[4][5] He visited track and field championships across Canada to scout Canada's next Olympic athletes.^[6][7] When Crocker declined to be Chef de Mission for Canada at the Olympics, Patrick J. Mulqueen replaced him as manager of the Canadian delegation.^[6][8]

After the games, Marples reported that it cost $460 to send each athlete to France, but the Canadian Olympic Committee still had financial reserves despite being approximately $1100 over budget. The Amateur Athletic Union of Canada praised Marples and Canadian Olympic Committee executives for their efforts and assembling the largest Canadian Olympic team to date.^[9]

Nine boxers represented Canada at the 1924 Games. It was the nation's second appearance in the sport. Facing tougher competition, Canada's team was unable to achieve results comparable to the five medals earned in 1920. Lewis was the only Canadian boxer in 1924 to win a medal, taking the bronze in the welterweight.
