Thousand of athletes from around North America will be converging on Regina for the Can-Am Police-Fire Games in 2028.
Regina was the winner of a bidding process to be the host. This multi-sport, Olympic-style event will display athleticism, skill, and camaraderie.
Multiple venues around the city will be used to stage the events. The Can-Am Police-Fire Games celebrates the dedication and expertise of those who serve and protect their communities. Competitors will include professionals from Fire and Rescue, Law Enforcement, Emergency Medical Services, Border Patrol, Corrections Officers, and other first responders.
“The City of Regina is thrilled to have been selected to host the 2028 Can-Am Police-Fire Games,” said Regina Mayor Sandra Masters. “Our community holds a deep appreciation for the service and dedication of first responders, whose daily efforts keep us safe, supported, and protected. We celebrate the opportunity for these heroes from across North America to come together in the spirit of competition and connection, and we will ensure that every athlete, family member, and fan visiting our city has an exceptional and welcoming experience.”
The lineup of events promises to be thrilling, and spectators can expect to see angling, cross-country running, cycling, and competitive shooting (both pistol and rifle). Additionally, the Games will showcase the grueling challenges of the Toughest Competitor Alive and Toughest Firefighter Alive competitions, highlighting the incredible athleticism and determination of participants.
“The 2028 Can-Am Police-Fire Games is more than just an exciting event to showcase our province and capital city,” Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Minister Paul Merriman said. “It’s an opportunity for our many officers in protective services, policing, corrections, fire and rescue to shine as they compete with their colleges from across North America. I’m proud of the work these officers do every day, and I know they will make Saskatchewan proud in the games.”
