🏆 The Canada Deaf Games are returning to Montreal in 2027! 🇨🇦
In 2024, during the closing ceremony of the Canada Deaf Games in Toronto, then-President Donald Prong announced that ASSQ had been selected to host the next Canada Deaf Games, which were originally scheduled to take place in Quebec City in the summer of 2028.
Since then, the context has evolved, particularly with the establishment of a clearer international competition calendar. The Pan American qualifiers will take place in the fall of 2028, followed by the Summer Deaflympics in the summer of 2029.
After consulting with ASSQ to explore the possibility of moving the Canada Deaf Games forward to 2027, CDSA concluded that this new date would allow for better planning and preparation of our national summer sport teams for international competitions in 2028 and 2029.
ASSQ and CDSA were also able to negotiate a partnership with AlterGo that will make it possible to hold the Games in Montreal in the spring of 2027, alongside the Défi sportif AlterGo, which the organization hosts annually.
Through this partnership, the three organizations will be able to combine their resources and expertise to offer a high-quality, unifying event for the entire community.
🎉 We are therefore pleased to officially announce that five sports will be featured:
🎳 Bowling
🏓 Table Tennis
🏸 Badminton
🏐 Volleyball
🏀 Basketball
The competitions will take place over one weekend, from April 30 to May 2, 2027.
This will be an extraordinary opportunity for the Deaf and hard of hearing community to take part in a major sporting event, share their passion for sport, meet other athletes, and enjoy valuable moments of social connection and camaraderie.
📣 Stay tuned! Over the coming weeks, follow CDSA’s social media channels for all the details regarding registration, sports, competition venues and programming.
We also invite you to contact your provincial Deaf sport association:
BCDSF, ADSA, MDSA, ODSA and ASSQ.
🇨🇦 We look forward to welcoming you to Montreal from April 30 to May 2, 2027!
Come experience the Canada Deaf Games! 🎉🏆
