[4] 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.

Fencing (for the first time since 2013) and table tennis were added later by the CGC, after artistic swimming was moved to the summer sports program.
