The 2022 Canada Summer Games or informally as Niagara 2022 is the summer season portion of the Canada Games and a multi-sport event for amateur athletes.
The games took place from August 6–21, 2022 in the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada, with some diving competitions taking place in Toronto. There were 17 sports and 20 disciplines in total. The 28th edition of the Canada Games also marked the third time in history the event has taken place in the province of Ontario and the first time in 21 years.
The games were originally scheduled to be held in Niagara Region, Ontario, from August 6 to 21, 2021.[1] However, in September 2020 the Canada Games Council announced that the 2021 Canada Summer Games had been postponed to 2022 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.[2]
On February 10, 2016, the Canada Games Council officially launched the bid process for the rights to host the event, with bids having until May 20, 2016, to declare interest.[3] On May 24, 2016, the Canada Games Council announced a total of four bids were received: Niagara Region, a combined bid from four cities (Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo and Guelph), Greater Sudbury and Ottawa.[4][5]
In August 2016, the Canada Games Council Technical Review Committee made visits to all four bid regions to evaluate the bids.[6] In September 2016, the Canada Games Council board of directors passed all four bid groups to the next level of reviews.[7] On March 31, 2017, Niagara Region was announced as the successful bidder.[8]
A total of 248 events in 17 sports and 20 disciplines were contested at the 2022 Canada Summer Games.
