In December, 2021 the Canada Games Council and the Niagara ’22 Host Organizing Committee announced that to be eligible to participate in the 2022 Canada Summer Games, all participants must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

The vaccination mandate may be altered or eliminated between now and the Games, but at the current time remains in place.

Athletes rendered ineligible to participate in the Games by virtue of a vaccine mandate will be replaced on the SK Canoe/Kayak CSG Team by the next-ranked athlete(s) on the respective Discipline Ranking List.
