Catch the Spirit

Meet Wowkwis, the official mascot of the 2023 Canada Games. Designed by 9-year-old local student Myla, Wowkwis celebrates the rich history of PEI by showcasing the art and culture of the Abegweit Mi’kmaq First Nations People.

Prior to each Canada Games, a Torch Relay unites the country in a common purpose. Ceremoniously lit from the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill, the Roly McLenahan Canada Games Torch will travel throughout the Maritimes before arriving in PEI to officially start the competition.

Developed by teachers for teachers, the Catch the Spirit program inspires children to embrace the Canada Games movement. Inclusive, engaging and educational. It showcases the positive impact of sport and sparks future generations to achieve greatness both on and off the field of play.
