Join us at Extra Life North, a new in-person celebration for the gaming community from August 8 -9, 2025. This event will bring gamers from across Canada and the US to connect, play, and support a great cause!

All proceeds from Extra Life North will go towards supporting kids who need HSC Children’s Hospital.

Time: TBC (approximate time 9AM – 6PM each day)
Location: Delta Hotel Winnipeg (350 St. Mary Ave)
Registration Fee: $100 CAD / ~$70 USD
Optional Fundraising T-Shirt Add-On: $20 CAD / ~$14 USD (sizing chart)
Your registration fee includes: Morning coffee/tea & lunch both days, plus a donation to the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba

If you can’t make it, but still want to support our fundraising efforts and contribute to the success of the event, we are also selling support tickets.

Who Can Attend?

Extra Life North is open to the gaming community. Whether you’re an Extra Lifer, spouse/friend/family/network of an Extra Lifer, or just have a passion for gaming – you are welcome to join us!

We are also able to include responsible teens 13+ who require minimal supervision, when accompanied by a parent or guardian. We ask that adults please use their best judgement – there will be a few breaks in gaming to hear from the team at the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba and our Champion Children (which may not be interesting to all younger folks), and our board game library is on loan (adult guardians are responsible for any damages).

Hotel Room Information

The Delta Hotel Winnipeg by Marriott has a limited number of rooms available at a preferred rate of $209 CAD / ~$147 USD per night. These rooms are available while quantities last on a first come first served basis, and must be booked no later than end of day Monday, July 7, 2025.

After you register for the event, your confirmation email will include the hotel reservation link. Registrants will reserve their rooms directly with Delta Hotel Winnipeg.
