Bid Application Process

Host Community Selection Process

The Host Community Selection process will be completed in two phases:

Phase 1 – Technical Review

This phase will focus on the Games’ standards for the sport venues, Games village and other key non-sport venues.  This process will provide the SGC with an overview of the bid communities ability to meet the capacity standards that are required of a host community. 

If a community can meet all of these technical standards, the SGC will then visit the community and conduct a site visit.  If the site visit identified any deficiencies, the bid community may not be invited to proceed with the Host Community Selection process. Upon a successful site visit, the community will be invited to move to Phase 2 of the application process.

The deadline for Phase 1 is September 15, 2023.

Phase 2 – Comprehensive Host Community Bid

If the Review Committee has determined that the bid community has met the technical standards, it will be invited to complete a Comprehensive Bid. A summary of these requirements will be included later in this document, with the detailed document and process being forwarded to those communities that have met the technical standards and invited to complete the Comprehensive Bid process.

The deadline for Phase 2 is January 15, 2024.

The successful host will be publicly announced in February of 2024.
