The Niagara 2022 Canada Summer Games will take place in Ontario’s Niagara Region to celebrate Canada’s top young athletes and Niagara’s art and culture. Niagara is also committed to honouring their Indigenous communities, while showcasing the region’s heritage and innovation throughout its history. Consisting of more than 5,000 athletes and coaches, the Canada Summer Games will welcome our nation’s next generation of national, international, and Olympic and Paralympic champions as the best young developing athletes from across the nation assemble to compete in Canada’s largest multi-sport event.
The Niagara 2022 Canada Summer Games will feature a total of 18 sports — including the return of lacrosse after a 36-year absence and the first-ever rugby sevens competition. Additionally, over 4,000 volunteers will be essential to the success of the Games
