Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo is gearing up to bring one of the province’s most inspiring sporting events back to the region.
With support from Council, the Regional Municipality is preparing a formal bid to host the 2028 Alberta Summer Games and is now calling on residents to help make it happen.
A Bid Committee is being formed to craft a compelling proposal that will showcase the region’s athletic facilities, volunteer spirit and community pride. The RMWB is inviting individuals involved in sport, business, education, arts or community development to apply before July 14 at 12 p.m. and help shape what could be a game-changing opportunity for the region.
The Alberta Summer Games, held every two years, bring together youth aged 11 to 16 from across the province who qualify through zone playoffs to compete in a range of individual and team sports.
If successful, the bid is expected to deliver a significant economic boost and further strengthen Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo’s profile as a premier sport-hosting destination. The Games would draw athletes, families, officials and spectators from every corner of Alberta, providing a showcase of regional talent and hospitality.
Applications can be submitted online at rmwb.ca
Strathcona County will host the 2026 Alberta Summer Games from July 16-19, 2026.
