The 2009 Canada Games, a national multi-sport and cultural event, was held August 15-29, 2009, across the entire province of Prince Edward Island. The Games brought together the best athletes and artists in a specified age group from each Canadian province and territory. Over 4,400 athletes, coaches, and managers came to Prince Edward Island to compete in 18 sports.

UPEI was a proud supporter and an official sports venue, and was Athletes' Village for Week 2. Events took place in the CARI Aquatics Centre, Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre, UPEI Alumni Canada Games Place, and on the artificial turf field. The three residences and Wanda Wyatt Dining Hall became an Athletes' Village, where 2,300 athletes and coaches were housed and fed. In addition, many UPEI faculty, staff, and students welcomed visitors and took advantage of opportunities to volunteer during the Canada Games.
