The 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games will be the sixth edition of the Commonwealth Youth Games which started in 2000. They were planned be held in Castries, the capital of Saint Lucia, but Saint Lucia withdrew in 2015, citing financial difficulties. Canada and Scotland both offered to host the games if no other nation was willing to bid.[1][2]
In 2016, Bahamas was selected to host the 2017 edition.
