Opening ceremony
- The opening ceremony's artistic performance focused on environmentalist themes, and featured a starring role for the dragon said to live inside Paracuttis. The crowd then saw retired women's ice hockey captain Briana Meekinson light the Olympic cauldron. The torch was carried into the stadium by Marie-Anne Boucher, mother of the late Jean-Luc Lacroix, and handed to retired alpine skier Evan Mackay, who then passed it Meekinson.
- The Games were declared open by Ronán Garrity, Federal President of Kelssek
