Canada Games is the largest multi-sport event in the country. The Games will bring together over 4,000 athletes from 700 communities across Canada to compete in 19 different sports in five municipalities of Newfoundland and Labrador. 

Held every two years and alternating between summer and winter sports, the Games showcases the very best in amateur youth sport. The Games are a truly inclusive event with able-bodied athletes and athletes with physical and intellectual disabilities competing in the same Games environment.

St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador is proud to host the 2025 Canada Games. St. John’s last hosted in 1977.
