Province welcomes nation for the 2023 Canada Winter Games

Island residents, along with the provincial government, are ready to cheer on young athletes from across the nation during the upcoming Canada Winter Games. 

“Now is the time for Team PEI athletes, coaches and managers to shine,” said Jo-anne Wallace,” Team PEI Chef de Mission. “They’ve all trained and prepared for months, and over the next two weeks they will have a tremendous time competing and showing off all that hard work. It’s a privilege to be part of this journey with them.”

Over a dozen Island communities will be welcoming more than 3,600 young athletes, coaches and managers from across the nation to compete in over 20 sports and 150 events during the 2023 Canada Winter Games between February 18 and  March 5. 

“Over the next two weeks, communities from tip to tip will be buzzing with excitement as young people and their sporting families from across our great country make lasting memories of their time here in PEI. The Canada Games stage is the dream so many young people have strived for over months and years, and it is a proud moment for our province to be part of their sporting journey. On behalf of all Island residents, we are incredibly proud of you.”

- Premier Dennis King
