- Canada does not have a national stadium/arena for ice hockey. The national team plays at several venues throughout the country.
- Canada does not have a national curling rink. The Canadian national team is selected by tournament, and is not a standing team.
Note that in Canada, national team matches occupy a relatively minor place in the overall sports landscape, except during international ice hockey tournaments. Media and fan attention focuses mainly on the country's major professional leagues and on major junior ice hockey. Currently-active venues that are frequently used for national championships include:
- BC Place (Canadian football), which has hosted the most Grey Cups (8 as of 2011) and was used for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
- Rexall Place (ice hockey), used for the most Stanley Cup Finals (7 as of 2006).
Prior to confederation into Canada, the Dominion of Newfoundland used King George V Park as its national stadium.

“I see Canada as a country torn between a very northern, rather extraordinary, mystical spirit which it fears and its desire to present itself to the world as a Scotch banker.”
