The industry itself has seen a tremendous impact over the past two years, however, amidst challenge is a firm focus on advancement, innovation and positive traction forward. As the landscape in Niagara prepares for the upcoming Canadian Summer Games for 2022, the emphasis on environmental sustainability holds a large presence and when it comes to sports there is no reason Niagara cannot lead the world in developing ways that sports can have less environmental impact. With the Walker Sports and Ability Centre at the Canada Games Park generating 45% less greenhouse emissions and being 35% more efficient than a normal Canadian building, the Niagara region has communicated its desire to create a legacy for advocating environmentalism in the sports industry.
