Information for Vendors

Established in 1977, CanGames is Canada’s longest-running, volunteer-led gaming convention. Each year, hundreds of game enthusiasts meet in the Ottawa area over the course of a weekend … for fun and friendly competition. They play board games, collectible card games, miniatures, role-playing games, and more.

Most CanGames participants are from the Ottawa region, however there are also a number of visitors from Ontario, Quebec, or the northwestern United States. CanGames’ three-day long market is the perfect opportunity to show off your wares to hundreds of attendees.

Refunds are possible up to Feb 28, after that date they will no longer be available, unless the convention is cancelled. We have confidence in you, please have confidence in us to provide you a market to sell.
