Experience the Canada Games from the Downtown Pedestrian Mall

On Saturday, August 16, the Downtown Pedestrian Mall will take on a whole new energy as the 2025 Canada Games criterium cycling event races through the heart of our city from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Grab a seat on a patio, enjoy great food and drinks, and cheer on the athletes as they speed by. Businesses on the Downtown Pedestrian Mall will be open as usual, so it’s the perfect chance to shop, dine, and be part of the excitement.

Some changes will be in place to accommodate the race, including adjustments to pedestrian access. For full details on road closures, parking, and pedestrian access, visit our Traffic Advisories page.
