Perspective

A total of 18 venues (16 in Prince Edward Island, one each in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) staged the competitions. The venue in New Brunswick was chosen to host the alpine and freestyle skiing events, as there is no downhill mountain available in Prince Edward Island.[5] Meanwhile, the speed skating oval in Nova Scotia from the 2011 Canada Winter Games was used as there were no suitable facilities in Prince Edward Island.[6]
