The 2025 Canada Summer Games (French: 2025 Jeux du Canada), known informally as St. John's 2025, is a national multi-sport event celebrated in the tradition of the Canada Games, as governed by Canada Games Council (CGC). The Games are scheduled to be held August 8 to 25, 2025 in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. These games will be the 16th edition of the Summer Games, and 31st overall. These will be the third Canada Games hosted by Newfoundland and Labrador (1977 and 1999), and the second in the city of St. John's (1977). The Games are scheduled to be held at venues in St. John's and other surrounding communities.

A total of 17 sports (19 disciplines) are scheduled to be held.

## Bidding process

[edit]

Originally Newfoundland and Labrador was scheduled to host the 2021 Canada Summer Games (later postponed to 2022), but in October 2015 switched with Ontario.[1][2] In February 2020, the bid process was launched, with the province appointing St. John's as the preferred community to host.[3] The bid process included two steps and would conclude with a decision of hosting a year later.[3] In April 2021, it was announced the city of St. John's was successful in its bid to host the Games.[4][5]

## Venues

[edit]

A total of 22 sport venues will be used for the Games.[6]

The Fortis Canada Games Complex will be the new build venue for the Games. The $34 million project will feature a Class II IAAF Certified Track & Field including a 400m 8-lane track, a FIFA Quality Pro Certified Artificial Soccer Turf, and an indoor training facility for the development of amateur level sport in Newfoundland & Labrador. This includes an indoor warm up track, a timing building located on the finish line, and an accessible walking path around the entire track. [7][8]
