Hosting Canada Games in Niagara is a wonderful opportunity to educate and create environmental awareness for Niagara residents, Games participants and spectators. Our awareness programs also consider social and economic sustainability. Themes include:
- Minimize overall Games footprint - minimize games-time waste, manage and reduce overall water use, and mitigate climate change through the guiding strategies
- Build and retrofit facilities, venues in accordance with green building standards
- Practice environmentally-responsible decisions in marketing and procurement
- Focus on conservation, restoration and protection of Niagara’s biodiversity
- Highlight ways in which sustainable practices can be integrated into sporting events
- Champion diversity, social inclusion and gender equity
- Incorporate arts and cultural communities into planning and legacies for the Games
