The 44th Ontario Parasport Games are coming to Niagara in May 2025.

The event will run from May 29 until June 1 and will feature 400-500 athletes competing in 10-plus events. Facilities used will include Canada Games Park, Brock University and the Vale Health and Wellness Centre in Port Colborne for sledge hockey.

“We are extremely excited to continue to advance the legacy of the recent Canada Games in Niagara,” said Doug Hamilton, a board member of Sport Niagara. “Hosting sporting events like this will continue to support sport tourism and economic development in Niagara.”

Three-time Paralympian Jeff Tiessen, a 12-time participant in the Ontario Parasport Games, is leading the steering committee for the Games.

“Niagara has such a rich parasport history and I’m excited for these Games to create even more adapted sport opportunities for individuals with disabilities,” he said.

Neil Lumsden, Ontario’s Minister of Sport, was pleased to select Sport Niagara and Niagara as the successful bid to host the Games.
