Sport Calgary – More Seats Made Available for October 13th Event

CALGARY, Alberta — Sport Calgary’s inaugural Celebration of Sport event (formerly the Mayor’s Sport Breakfast) will be a chance to recognize the people and organizations that make Calgary such an incredible sport city. It is comprised of a luncheon, short awards ceremony, and an expert panel discussion on sport. All proceeds from the event will go to supporting amateur sports in the city, and programs that encourage sport participation, like All Sport One Day. The event itself is being led jointly by Sport Calgary, Tourism Calgary and Calgary Sport Tourism Authority.

The 2016 Celebration of Sport, coming soon after the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio, will have an Olympic focus, and, in partnership with the province of Alberta through Alberta Sport Connection, will honour Alberta’s Olympic and Paralympic teams.
