Canada Games House is a private venue for friends, families, athletes, and VIP guests to celebrate, gather, watch and relax during the 2025 Canada Games. 

Canada Games House is a dynamic space where athletes, families, and fans can relax, connect, and celebrate. It features six themed zones, including the Watch Zone for live Games coverage, the Burn Zone for games and tournaments, and the Recharge Zone for low-key fun with books, board games, and video games. The Quiet Zone offers a calm space to rest, while the Craft Zone invites creativity with daily crafts and special projects on Theme Days. In the Memory Zone, guests can snap selfies, find their name on the Athlete Wall, and contribute to the Cheer Wall and Team Canada pin map. There’s something for everyone, every day.

Athletes, coaches, and mission staff with official Games accreditation have full access to Canada Games House. Parents, family, and friends without accreditation are also welcome. At the entrance, they will be asked to provide their athlete’s name and province or territory. Once registered, they will receive a wristband granting access for the week. Guests do not need to be accompanied by their athlete.
