Canada Games Council

The Canada Games is building the fabric of Canada through the power of sport. Held once every
two years, alternating between winter and summer, the Canada Games represent the highest level
of national competition for the next generation of Canadian athletes. The Games have been
hosted in every province and the Yukon Territory at least once since their inception in Quebec City
during Canada’s Centennial in 1967, and are proud of their contribution to Canada’s sport
development system in addition to their lasting legacy of sport facilities, community pride, citizen
engagement and national unity.

As the Games move from one host community to the next, the
Canada Games Council (CGC) provides the continuity, leadership and support to Host Societies in
key areas through CGC’s transfer of knowledge program. The CGC is also responsible for the
sustainable development of the Canada Games Movement and long-term partnerships with
national sport organizations, Federal-Provincial / Territorial governments, the corporate sector,
broadcasters and the media.
