“It is with great excitement that I bring greetings to members of the Alberta 55 plus community as we prepare to host the 2022 Summer Games in the Peace Region. We are both proud and grateful to Alberta 55 plus for giving us the opportunity to showcase our region to the province.

Our Host Committee is getting ready to welcome participants to the beautiful Peace Region. Our focus will be on the athletes, as we work to make the competition a safe and enjoyable experience for all. We are actively working with the provincial committee to prepare ourselves to host competitors from across Alberta, in what we hope will be a celebration at a time when we will truly need the opportunity to celebrate.

Our business community will demonstrate the warm welcoming spirit the Peace Country is known for which will enhance the experience both for our athletes and their supporters who make the journey north.

Lastly, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate all the competitors across the province who have participated in zone competitions, and those who have qualified in their sport or activity.

A special thank you to everyone who continues to promote sport and active living in Alberta for those 55plus, including participants and volunteers making active living a priority.”
