Everything you need to know about Canada Olympic House

GENERAL

Canada Olympic House is Team Canada’s home away from home during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It’s a gathering place for family, friends and fans, and a place where we’ll all be cheering on Canada’s athletes as they compete. Inside Canada Olympic House, you’ll find great food and drink, live events, athlete appearances and exciting programming, and of course Team Canada live on the big screens. We hope to see you there!

The COC is proud to be a bilingual organization that strives to represent all Canadians and service all stakeholders in both official languages. Having the Olympic Games in Paris, a city with a history inexorably linked to Canada’s, presented us with a unique opportunity to, where appropriate, symbolically re-brand Canada Olympic House as a nod to the role French has played and plays in Canada, as well as to our hosts.

Canada Olympic House is located inside Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie, in Paris’s iconic Parc de la Villette. Click here for detailed directions.

Canada Olympic House will be open between 11:00-23:00 every day from
July 27, 2024 to August 11, 2024.
