Two venues in Niagara-on-the-Lake have been selected to host events in the Niagara 2022 Canada Summer Games.
The Niagara-on-the-Lake Tennis club at Memorial Park, and the Niagara-on-the-Lake Sailing Club, have been chosen to host tennis and sailing events.
Lord Mayor Betty Disero says this is exciting news for the area.
"I am delighted two of our local clubs are being awarded this great opportunity, although I never doubted that both the Niagara-on-the-Lake Tennis Club and Sailing Club operate at a high calibre worthy of such a platform. I know they will make our community proud when they host the 2022 Canada Summer Games and show the world how special our town is."
Much like the Olympics, the Canada Games are held every other year, alternating between winter and summer.
It features teams from across the country competing against each other for medals.
The Canada Games in Niagara was originally slated for this year, but was rescheduled for August 6th-21st due to the pandemic.
