The Games were originally slated to be held this summer, but were rescheduled due to the pandemic.

Hundreds of athletes and coaches will participate in activities including rowing, cycling, baseball and more.

Canada Games Park in Thorold will act as a hub for the games.

Once the Games are finished, the infrastructure will be available for use in the community.
