Sport Manitoba – This summer, the 2019 Western Canada Summer Games (WCSG) welcomes over 1,700 athletes, coaches, managers, officials and mission staff from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut. Athletes aged 13-20 represent western Canada’s next generation of national, international, Olympic and Paralympic champions. The 2019 WCSG will leave a lasting legacy of new and enhanced sport facilities and volunteer and leadership development that will benefit athletes and the broader community for years to come.
