Alberta has been selected by Commonwealth Sport Canada as the preferred candidate to bid on hosting the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
A group of athletes, business and sports leaders, the chief of Tsuut’ina Nation, as well as the mayors of Calgary and Edmonton, have been working together for three years to prepare a feasibility assessment on a bid to host the Games.“We’re very excited to enter a new phase of bid exploration and this one involves collaboration with all orders of government including the Tsuut’ina Nation,” said Roger Jackson, president and CEO of the Alberta 2030 Commonwealth Games Corp.
Commonwealth Sport Canada would not disclose if any other nations had expressed interest in bidding on hosting the Games.“Tsuut’ina is pleased to lend our support to the exploration of a bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games,” said Tsuut’ina Nation Chief Roy Whitney. “Very few things bring people together like sports, and the opportunity for reconciliation would be historic.“Not only is our sporting infrastructure strong, so is the talent behind this effort.
