About Canada Games

The Canada Games are the country's largest celebration of amateur sport, held every two years and alternating between summer and winter. They bring together the nation's top young athletes to compete, grow, and create unforgettable memories while proudly representing their home provinces and territories.


Beyond the competition itself, the Games serve as a proving ground for Canada's future national team and Olympic athletes, and each host community gains lasting benefits — new or upgraded sport facilities, a boost in volunteer capacity, and a stronger local sport culture that outlasts the two weeks of competition.

What are the Canada Games?
The Canada Games are the country’s largest multi-sport event, held every two years and alternating between Summer and Winter editions. They bring together the top amateur athletes from across Canada’s provinces and territories to compete, connect, and represent their region. These Games are about more than sport—they’re about building community, showcasing culture, and celebrating the power of youth sport in Canada.
What is Team Manitoba?
Team Manitoba is made up of the province’s most dedicated up-and-coming athletes, representing over a dozen different sports. Together, they form one united team—the Herd. Team Manitoba is led by Sport Manitoba, which supports athletes, coaches, and Mission Staff to make the experience meaningful, competitive, and fun.

From refining game plans to guiding warm-ups and cool-downs, they’re there to lead your sport-specific development on and off the field of play. They also travel with you, stay in the Athletes’ Village, and help manage logistics so you can stay focused on competition.
Who selects athletes to compete at the Games?
Provincial Sport Organizations (PSOs) are responsible for identifying, training, and selecting athletes for their respective sports. They also choose the coaching staff and coordinate with Mission Staff to ensure everyone meets eligibility and registration requirements.
