2007 Canada Games
In 2007, for the 40th anniversary of the
Canada Games, a remarkable achievement
will take place. Not only will the Canada
Games head north of the 60th Parallel for
the first time, but also, in the tradition of
friendship, the Yukon, Northwest Territories
and Nunavut have joined to make this a Pan
Northern celebration. Subaru Canada, as part of its
commitment to Canadian athletics, is a proud sponsor.
This multi-sport event is held every two years,
alternating between summer and winter. The next one
will take place in Whitehorse, Yukon from February 23 to
March 10, 2007. Boasting more athletes in more events than the Winter Olympics, the
Whitehorse 2007 Canada Winter Games will include an estimated 3,600 athletes, coaches
and managers, and over 4,500 volunteers to support the 22 sporting events.
The 2007 Games will showcase Canada’s unique north with cultural performances, exhibitions of
northern art, and fabulous northern food! There will also be a special competition for Arctic Sports
which will include youth from communities across the three territories.
From the slopes of Mount Sima to the warm comforts of the Canada Games Centre, the 2007
Canada Winter Games will bring together Canadians from coast to coast to coast, and Subaru will
be there for every minute of it! Visit www.2007canadagames.ca for more information.

The Path to a Dream
Many of the athletes attending the Canada Games go on to
compete in the Olympics thanks to financial assistance like the
“Canadian Athletes Now Fund,” supported in part by Subaru
Canada, Inc. This ongoing support is crucial to sustain the coaching,
nutrition, and training needs of athletes on the road to the podium.
