Tennis Alberta recognizes the level of commitment and hours of hard work these athletes have devoted to developing themselves into well rounded high performance athletes.  We are very excited for these athletes and we would like to wish them all the best at the Canada Summer Games.

The games which are held every two years and alternate between summer and winter provide athletes the opportunity to compete in interprovincial/territorial competition on a national stage.  The Canada Summer Games has been a catalyst for developing top tier athletes and providing substantial sports growth across Canada.

The Opening Ceremonies will be held on Friday, July 28, 2017, at the MTS Centre. The Closing Ceremonies will take place Sunday, August 13, 2017, at the Investors Group Field.  At Closing Ceremonies, the torch will be passed to the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer, Alberta.  The preliminary sport schedule overview is available at canadagames.ca/2017.
