Two separate programs are organized in order to cover the seasons of summer and winter: the [['''Canada Summer Games]]''' (CSG) and the [['''Canada Winter Games]]''' (CWG). Athlete age eligibility rules vary. The host cities have not been chosen for the games after 2025 but the provinces through 2035 have been selected. St. John's, Newfoundland will host the 2025 Canada Summer Games at the Aquarena, which is currently undergoing renovations in preparation for the event.
