Canada Summer Games Beach Program
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. Every year that beach volleyball has been offered at the games, Ontario has finished on the podium.
