Canada Games affected by Air Canada strike with athletes, families stuck in St. John’s

August 20, 2025

For Canada Games Council CEO Kelly-Ann Paul, the timing of Air Canada’s strike was nothing short of “surreal.”

Air Canada grounded thousands of flights last Saturday when its flight attendants went on strike. This disrupted the Canada Games in St. John’s, N.L., which run Aug. 8-25, with teenage athletes from across the country flying in and out throughout.
