Sprint canoeist Katie Vincent and breaker Philip Kim won gold while track star Marco Arop took silver to give Canada nine gold and 27 overall medals after the final full day of competition in Paris.
Both are national records for a non-boycotted Summer Olympics, surpassing the seven gold and 24 medals from three years ago in Tokyo.
Canada also won seven gold in 1992. Vincent, who captured her second consecutive Olympic doubles bronze on Friday, won her first singles title this morning in a photo finish to give Canada its medals records and set a world record for herself.
The race was so close between Vincent and American Nevin Harrison that the judges needed several minutes to call it. Later, Kim was crowned the first-ever Olympic men's champion in breaking.
