About the PEI 55+ Games
Active. Social. For Everyone 55+.
The PEI 55+ Games are about connection, movement, and having fun—no matter your experience, fitness level, or how you like to stay active.
Whether you’re newly 55 and still discovering what’s next, or you’ve been enjoying the Games for years, you belong here.
What We’re All About
At their heart, the PEI 55+ Games celebrate active aging in all its forms. That might mean competing, participating just for fun, cheering on friends, volunteering, or simply trying something new for the first time.
We believe:
- Staying active should be enjoyable, not intimidating
- Competition can be friendly, supportive, and social
- Everyone deserves opportunities to stay connected and engaged
- Age is not a limit — it’s an advantage
- Something for Everyone
- Not everyone wants to run races — and that’s okay. Our Games offer a wide range of activities, from energetic sports to social and skill-based events. Whether you enjoy movement, strategy, teamwork, or conversation, there’s a place for you.
You don’t need to be an athlete.
You don’t need experience.
You just need to show up.
More Than Just Games
The PEI 55+ Games are about more than medals or scores. They’re about:
- Reconnecting with friends
Meeting new people - Representing your community
- Laughing, learning, and staying engaged
- Proving (to yourself and others) that staying active has no expiration date
- Many participants tell us the best part isn’t the event — it’s the people.
Inclusive, Supportive, and Welcoming
We work closely with communities, volunteers, and host locations across Prince Edward Island to ensure the Games are:
Accessible
- Welcoming to all skill levels
- Safe and well-organized
- Focused on fun and participation
- You’ll never be rushed, judged, or left out. Whether this is your first Games or your fifteenth, you’ll be welcomed like family.
Why Join?
Because staying active helps you:
- Feel stronger and more confident
- Stay socially connected
- Try new things at your own pace
- Have fun doing it
- And because it’s never too early — or too late — to say yes to something new.
