CANADA GAMES

(Redirected from Canada Summer Games)
The 'Canada Games' is a high-level multi-sport event with a National Artists Program held every two years in Canada, alternating between the Canada Winter Games and the Canada Summer Games. Athletes are strictly amateur only, and represent their province or territory. Since their inception, the Canada Games have played a prominent role in developing some of Canada's premier athletes, including Lennox Lewis, Catriona LeMay Doan, Hayley Wickenheiser, Sidney Crosby, Steve Nash, Suzanne Gaudet and David Ling.
The Games were first held in 1967 in Quebec City as part of Canada's Centennial celebrations.
