Sustainability

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
