Sport Calgary – On October 3, 2019, Sport Calgary is hosting Celebration of Sport from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at WinSport’s Markin MacPhail Centre. The official program starts at 3:45 p.m. and will run for one hour.

This year’s event is comprised of a late afternoon reception, brief awards ceremony, and an expert hot stove discussion focused on safe sport with Olympians Beckie Scott and Catriona Le May Doan. The event affords excellent networking opportunities with athletes, sport organizations, business and community leaders, and government officials. After receiving a strong response last year, we expect over 400 attendees will join us this year.
