2025 Canada Summer Games
Canada Games has grown into Canada’s largest multi-sport event since its first event in 1967. The event is considered the pinnacle of inter-provincial/territorial sport programs and a springboard to National level programs.
Over 4,000 athletes, coaches and managers will compete for their provinces and territories representing various sports. The Canada Games showcase the best of the best in sport and highlight the immense talents of our youth. The Games create a spirit of unity that spans each province and territory. People connect in ways that go beyond the field of play, forming bonds that are deeply rooted in friendship and a collective passion for amateur sport in Canada.
