In August 2016, the Canada Games Council Technical Review Committee made visits to all four bid regions to evaluate the bids.[6] In September 2016, the Canada Games Council board of directors passed all four bid groups to the next level of reviews.[7] On March 31, 2017, Niagara Region was announced as the successful bidder.[8]
