CANMORE HIGHLAND GAMES

Western Canada's Premier Highland Games

COVID-19 ALERT

2020 Officially Cancelled - Due to continuing uncertainty concerning the safety of large events during COVID-19, our 2020 Games is officially cancelled. In 2021 we intend to host our best festival ever, as fitting the historic 30th anniversary of Canmore Highland Games. We look forward to raising a glass with you at that time. Until then, keep hope. "It’s gaein be awricht ance the pain has gane awa."
Translation: It’s a difficult time, but we will get through it and everything is going to be fine.
Please join us next year Sept 4-5, 2021 to help us celebrate our 30th Anniversary!

Slainte,
Sandy Bunch, President
