JUNIOR GAMES
The Alberta Summer Games Past Tennis Results Western Canada Summer Games The Western Canada Summer Games were established in 1975 as a multi-sport event to provide development opportunities for amateur athletes and to help them advance their skills in a competitive, but friendly environment. The games also serve to broaden the exposure of talented athletes and provide a training ground for national and international level competitions. Social and cultural elements round out the sporting events for athletes. The four western provinces and the three territories send teams to these games which are held every four years. Games Trophy The Western Canada Summer Games Trophy is awarded to the province or territory that accumulates the most points over the ten days of the Games. This is determined by the provincial/territorial final standings on a sport by sport basis. Six points are awarded for finishing first, five points for a second place showing and so on. Canada Summer Games The first Canada Games were held in Québec City in 1967. Since then, over 50,000 athletes have competed in the Games and hundreds of thousands more have participated in qualifying events. The Canada Games are a collaborative effort between the federal, provincial and territorial governments, host societies and the Canada Games Council. Over the past 36 years, the Canada Games has grown to become one of our greatest sport traditions. The last Canada Summer Games were held Aug 6-20, 2005 in Regina, Sask.
