The '''Canada Games''' ({{langx|fr|Jeux du Canada}}) is a [[multi-sport event]] held every two years, alternating between the Canada Winter Games and the Canada Summer Games. They represent the highest level of national competition for Canadian athletes. Two separate programs are organized in order to cover the seasons of summer and winter: the '''Canada Summer Games''' (CSG) and the '''Canada Winter Games''' (CWG). Athlete age eligibility rules vary. 

The first ''Canada Winter Games'' was the [[1967 Canada Winter Games]], marking the beginning of this important sporting event for Canadians. It has since become integral to celebrating Canadian talent for young amateur Canadian athletes focused on winter sports. The most recent Canada Winter Games was the [[2023 Canada Winter Games]] which ran from February 18 – March 5, 2023 in the province of [[Prince Edward Island]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.2023canadagames.ca/|title=2023 Canada Games|website=2023canadagames.ca|publisher=Canada Games Council|language=en|access-date=2021-11-03|archive-date=2021-11-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211103002711/https://www.2023canadagames.ca/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.canadagames.ca/stories/2023-canada-games-launches-brand-and-welcomes-atlantic-lottery-as-first-major-sponsor|title=Canada Games Council &#124; 2023 Canada Games Launches Brand and Welcomes Atlantic Lottery as First Major Sponsor}}</ref> The next Canada Winter Games, the [[2027 Canada Winter Games]], will be hosted in [[Quebec City, Quebec]]. The dates are yet to be announced.

The first ''Canada Summer Games'' was the [[1969 Canada Summer Games]]. The most recent Canada Summer Games was the [[2025 Canada Summer Games]] which took place August 9–24, 2025 in [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thetelegram.com/sports/regional-sports/2021-niagara-canada-summer-games-postponed-to-2022-497957/|title=2021 Niagara Canada Summer Games postponed to 2022|last=Myrer|first=George|newspaper=[[The Telegram]]|date=17 September 2020|accessdate=12 December 2020}}</ref> The next Canada Summer Games, the [[2029 Canada Summer Games]], will be hosted in [[Moncton]] and [[Saint John, New Brunswick]]. 

==History ==
The Games were first held in 1967 in [[Quebec City]] as part of Canada's [[Centennial]] celebrations. For the first time in Canada's history, 1,800 athletes from 10 provinces and two territories gathered to compete in 15 sports. Since 1967, over 75,000 athletes have participated in the Games. The [[#Hosts|Games have been hosted]] in every province at least once since their inception in [[Quebec City]] during [[Canadian Centennial|Canada’s Centennial]] in 1967. Journalist [[Eddie MacCabe]] wrote a history book for the 25th anniversary of the Canada Games in 1992.<ref>{{cite news|title=Eddie MacCabe: A glimpse it the city's soul|last=Chwialkowska|first=Luiza|date=May 24, 1998|newspaper=[[Ottawa Citizen]]|location=Ottawa, Ontario|page=7|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/91401770/maccabe-1998/}}{{free access}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=MacCabe|first=Eddie|author-link=Eddie MacCabe|title=Canada Games, 1967 to 1992: The Official Retrospective of the Canada Games|publisher=Canada Games Council|date=1992|location=Ottawa, Ontario|oclc=319697919}}</ref>

==Sports==
Over the course of the history of the Canada Games, a variety of sports have been added and dropped at various points within the Summer Games and Winter Games programs. The winter games include some sports not associated with winter.

===Former sports===
[[Fencing]] was previously a Winter Games sport before it was moved to Summer program for the [[2013 Canada Summer Games|Sherbrooke 2013 games]] and then removed altogether following those games. [[BMX]], [[field hockey]], and [[water polo]] were formerly in the Summer program as well. [[Racquetball]] was in the 1979, 1983, and 1991 Canada Winter Games, but hasn't been included since.

===Returning sports===
'''[[Fencing]]''' made its return to the Games during the [[2023 Canada Winter Games]] in [[Prince Edward Island]]. Its last appearance had been during the [[2013 Canada Summer Games]].

'''[[Box lacrosse]]''' made its return to the Summer Games during the [[2022 Canada Summer Games]]. It was the first time box lacrosse had been featured since the 1985 Canada Games.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.canadagames.ca/stories/lacrosse-returns-to-canada-games-in-2021 |title=LACROSSE RETURNS TO CANADA GAMES IN 2021|access-date= |publisher= Canada Games Council}}</ref>

==Organization==
The games are governed by the [[Canada Games Council]], a private, non-profit organization. As the Games move from one host community to the next, the Council provides the continuity, leadership and support to Host Societies in key areas such as sport technical, organizational planning, ceremonies and protocol, marketing and sponsorship. In addition, the [[Canada Games Council]] ensures effective long-term partnerships with national sport organizations, governments and the corporate sector. The [[Canada Games Council]] is a well-established, national organization that fosters on-going partnerships with organizations at the municipal, provincial and national levels.

=== Host Society ===

The individual games are run by the local Host Society, a non-profit private organization that is established 2–4 years prior to the event. The Host Society functions in accordance with an agreement between the Canada Games Council, the government of Canada, the government of the province or territory and the government of the municipality. The Canada Games Council maintains and secures long-term partnership agreements with governments, corporations and national sport organizations.

=== Funding ===

Funding for the games comes from the several levels of government together with donations and corporate sponsorships. A considerable portion of the work during the games is performed by local volunteers.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.canadagames.ca/2019/volunteer |title=Volunteer &#124; 2019 Canada Games |access-date=2018-08-13 |archive-date=2018-08-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180814001647/https://www.canadagames.ca/2019/volunteer |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== Hosts ==
The host cities have not been chosen for the games after 2029, but the provinces through 2037 have.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.canadagames.ca/news/new-hosting-rotation-revealed-for-canada-games|title=New Hosting Rotation Revealed for Canada Games|publisher=Canada Games Council|accessdate=September 29, 2022}}</ref>
