Memorial University has been announced as an official community partner of the 2025 Canada Games. Memorial will be transformed into the Games Village, housing over 4,800 athletes, coaches, and managers. The university will provide space for provincial and territorial mission offices, medical and wellness clinics, and media centres. The university will also provide competition space: the Aquarina—which is currently undergoing $25M in renovations—will accommodate diving and swimming events; the Field House will host basketball and volleyball; and the Fortis Canada Games Complex is currently being constructed for athletics and soccer. VOCM reports that, to minimize disruption to students in residence, Memorial has adjusted the start and end dates for its Spring and Fall semesters.
