The Canada Games are Canada’s largest multi-sport event, bringing together the country’s top young athletes from across the provinces and territories. Held every two years, alternating between summer and winter editions, the Games provide athletes with an opportunity to compete at a high level while representing their province or territory.
Curling has been part of every Canada Winter Games since the inaugural Games in 1967. The event has helped launch the careers of many Canadian curlers who have gone on to compete at the national, world and Olympic levels. Mixed Doubles was added to the Canada Winter Games program in 2023, providing another opportunity for young athletes to experience high-level competition.
For PEI athletes, the Canada Games provide an important step in the athlete development pathway and an opportunity to represent Prince Edward Island on a national stage.
