The International Major Multisport Games (IMMG) component of the Hosting Program supports large, multisport games that are governed by an international sport franchise holder with links to international sport federations.
These events contribute to the Sport Excellence Strategy and provide a focus for the high-performance plans and long-term athlete development of national sport organizations (NSOs). The Federal Policy for Hosting International Sport Events sets out that the Government of Canada will consider support for the hosting of two IMMG every 10 years (subject to the Hosting Program budget and/or necessary approvals).
