Mahjong, a centuries-old Chinese game, is seeing a significant increase in popularity among younger generations in Canada. The game's resurgence has been particularly observed in summer camps, where it has become one of the top activities for participants. Many young Canadians are drawn to the game for its social aspects and the strategic thinking it requires. With this growing interest, community centres and instructors are stepping up to provide resources for those looking to learn the game. Online platforms are also playing a role in making mahjong accessible to a broader audience, with tutorials and videos catering to newcomers. As mahjong continues to gain traction in Canada, some speculate about the potential rise of other traditional games, such as Canasta, suggesting a broader trend towards the revival of classic pastimes among younger populations.
