The 2023 Canada Winter Games, officially known as the XXVIII Canada Games, (or informally as PEI 2023) was a Canadian multi-sport event hosted across Prince Edward Island, from February 18, 2023, to March 5, 2023.

Bidding

As part of the rotation of Canada Games hosts, the Northwest Territories with (Yellowknife) were scheduled to host the games for the first time ever.[1] [2] However, in September 2016, The Northwest Territories and Prince Edward Island agreed to swap bidding years (with the former now eligible to bid for 2031).[3] In November 2018, the island officially won its bid to host the games.[4]

Venues

A total of 18 venues (16 in Prince Edward Island, one each in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) will stage the competitions. The venue in New Brunswick was chosen to host the alpine and freestyle skiing events, as there is no downhill mountain available in Prince Edward Island.[5] Meanwhile, the speed skating oval from the 2011 Canada Winter Games will be used as there are no suitable facilities in Prince Edward Island.[6]
