From 27 February to 14 March 2027, Québec City will welcome the Canada Games back to where it all began, marking 60 years since the inaugural edition was held in the city in 1967. More than 2,000 athletes, coaches and team members are expected to take part in two weeks of competition across more than 20 sports.

Exploramer is set to open a major new St. Lawrence Shark Pavilion in 2027, subject to construction progress, as part of a nearly $19 million investment in marine education and conservation. The new attraction will centre around a 250,000-litre saltwater aquarium home to small sharks and rays, alongside a diving station and an immersive experience created in collaboration with Moment Factory.

Designed to bring visitors closer to the marine life of the St. Lawrence, the pavilion will explore the vital role sharks play in ocean ecosystems, while shining a light on the conservation challenges facing these often misunderstood species.

Developed over two years with input from more than 150 Indigenous and non-Indigenous entrepreneurs, experts, development officers, government representatives and other tourism stakeholders, the GEITEGET initiative, a name meaning “intelligence and knowledge” in the Mi’kmaq language, outlines 20 measures backed by $18 million in investment.

Indigenous tourism is already a significant and growing part of Québec’s visitor economy, encompassing 234 experiences and welcoming more than 2.1 million visitors, with its impact extending across 17 regions of the province. Between 2026–2036, the plan aims to increase visitation to 3.8 million, grow the number of Indigenous tourism enterprises from 234 to 300, and double the number of export-ready businesses from 45 to 90.
