Today, the Western Canada Summer Games are held every four years and provide competitive platform for the Canada Games. Athletes range from 13 to 23 years old and includes Para Sport and Special Olympic events.
Canada Games

Held every two years, alternating between winter and summer, the Canada Games represent the highest level of national competition for up and coming Canadian athletes. The Games have been hosted in every province at least once since their inception in Quebec City during Canada's Centennial in 1967. The Games are proud of their contribution to Canada's sport development system in addition to their lasting legacy of sport facilities, community pride and national unity. The next Canada Summer Games will take place in the Niagara region of Ontario in 2021, followed by the 2023 Canada Winter Games in Prince Edward Island.

The North American Indigenous Games is a multi-sport event focused around competition and cultural activities among Indigenous North American athletes. The Games are governed by the North American Indigenous Games Council, a 26-member council of representatives from 13 provinces and territories in Canada and 13 regions in the United States. There have been nine editions of the Games since their launch in 1990, and Team Saskatchewan has been the overall winner six times. Participant numbers have ranged from 3,000 to 10,000 per Games with hundreds of tribes represented.
