A Lasting Legacy for the Region
The Canada Games will create a lasting legacy. Notable investments include the new multifunctional curling centre and upgrades to several existing facilities to meet sport specific standards. These improvements will benefit not only the Games, but also local sports clubs and the hosting of other high caliber events in the future.
From an economic perspective, the Games are expected to generate over $100M in benefits for the Quebec City region, supporting tourism, accommodation, sports infrastructure, and employment.
This project is made possible thanks to the support of the Government of Canada, the Government of Quebec, and the City of Quebec.
