Overview

Games Ontario is a brand under the Government of Ontario and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. Under this brand, we deliver five multi-sport games.

We lead a competitive bid process to select a host municipality for each game and work with the host municipality to deliver the event.

We also work closely with Provincial Sport and Multi-Sport Organizations (PSO/MSOs) to host each sport competition during the games.
