Today, the 2025 Canada Games Host Society revealed its Torch Relay program presented by Orangestore including the official torch relay route and torchbearer nomination process.

The Orangestore 2025 Canada Games Torch Relay kicks off in June 2025 with a lighting ceremony from the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The Roly McLenahan Torch will then travel to Newfoundland and Labrador stopping in 14 communities across the province before its final destination at the Opening Ceremony on August 9, 2025.

Over 130 torchbearers will carry the torch in their hometowns as part of a series of events and community celebrations between June 28 - August 1, 2025. Torchbearers are selected through a nomination process that opened today on the 2025 Canada Games website.
