Since their inception in 1967, the Canada Games have united youth from coast-to-coast in a dramatic show of the nation’s vitality. What began as a grassroots movement to help mark the Centennial can now rightfully claim its own rich history.
The grassroots effort that has enabled the Canada Games to flourish can be traced back through many communities across Canada. New Brunswick has consistently distinguished itself as a quiet leader in the Canada Games movement.
