The association

About

An independent publisher for players in Canada that calls its readers members. The association is the readers: not a regulator, not an industry body.

A row of gaming hardware on white: a PC tower, a monitor, a handheld, a mechanical keyboard, a mouse and a headset.
Picture for illustration.

Gaming Association is an independent publisher that calls its readers members. It has no connection to any gaming or gambling regulator, provincial lottery corporation or industry body, the Canadian Gaming Association included. Here, gaming means video games, never betting.

The sections run from the box to the room: builds and components, peripherals and monitors, consoles and handhelds, desks, chairs and streaming gear, and how to buy well in Canada. The Build Sheet puts the same rule into three priced parts lists, and the Toolkit lists the software we’d install first.

Prices are in Canadian dollars before tax, with the store and the month they were checked. We aren’t affiliated with the stores or makers we cover. Some links may earn us a commission; it never decides a pick.
