The will be held August 2-17 in , with the championship taking place August 13-17 at Milby Golf Club. First contested in 1969, the Games are a multi-sport and cultural event that brings together the best athletes and artists age eighteen and younger from each Canadian province and territory.

The golf championship at the 2013 Canada Summer Games will consist of both an individual championship and team championship within the same competition. A separate division for boys and girls exists in both the individual and team championship. In order to be eligible for participation in golf competition at the Canada Summer Games an athlete must be under 19 years of age as of the last scheduled round of the golf competition (i.e. must have a birth date of August 18, 1994 or later). The format of the Canada Summer Games is a 72 stroke play championship. As in the Olympic Games – gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded in each division of both the individual and team competitions. The individual medalists will be determined by the lowest aggregate individual score over the 72 holes. For the team championship the best 2 out of 3 individual scores for each Provincial Team will count for the team score each day. The team medalists will be determined by the aggregate sum of the four daily team scores.

Team Ontario CSG Training Camp The Team Ontario Mission Staff for the 2013 CSG are planning on hosting a multi-sport Team Ontario training camp on May 31-June 2, 2013 at the University of Toronto. They did a similar camp prior to the 2009 CSG. It is a good opportunity to meet athletes from other sports, meet Mission staff, complete mandatory drug education and human rights training. Sport specific training will also be a part of the camp.

Preview Camp at CSG Venue As part of our team preparation for the 2013 CSG we will do a preview camp which will be held in June of 2013. Dates of this camp will be firmed up in February of 2013 as we would need to know the 2013 tournament dates of events typically held in June in order to plan the optimal time to hold this camp. This preview camp will consist of playing Milby GC which is the host venue for the CSG. We would also like to incorporate a preview of the venues for the 2013 Canadian Junior Girls and 2013 Canadian Junior Boys into this camp since both these championships are scheduled to be hosted in Quebec in 2013.
