The Canada Games strengthen the fabric of Canada through the power of sport by sparking greatness in the next generation of athletes and leaders and by creating enduring legacies that transform communities from coast to coast to coast. Some play to lift a trophy. We play to lift a country.
About the Niagara 2022 Canada Summer Games
The Canada Games, held every two years, alternating between summer and winter, are the largest multi-sport event in the country and represent the pinnacle of interprovincial/territorial sport competition.
As the best in their age group, these young competitors come to the Games having trained long and hard to be among those chosen to represent their respective province or territory. Since 1967, nearly 100,000 athletes have participated in the Games with hundreds of thousands having engaged in try-outs and qualifying events. Add to that the over 100,000 coaches, officials and volunteers that have been directly involved in the planning and staging of the Games and you have some idea as to the enormous reach of the Canada Games over a proud history.
Objectives
The Canada Summer Games are an ideal opportunity for Ontario athletes 16-21 years of age to compete nationally in a draft legal race environment, preparing athletes for further development in racing and beyond.
Triathlon Ontario’s priority for the CSG is to showcase the sport of triathlon on the National stage, create an environment of High Performance within the selection and competition pathway and provide access to experienced professional coaching for all athletes across the Province.
