Western Canada Summer Games

The Western Canada Summer Games were established in 1975 as a multi-sport event to provide development opportunities for amateur athletes and to help them advance their skills in a competitive, but friendly environment. The games also serve to broaden the exposure of talented athletes and provide a training ground for national and international level competitions. Social and cultural elements round out the sporting events for athletes. The competitors for the WCSG consist of athletes from the four Western Provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba), and the three Territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut).

Over the past number of decades in all areas of Western Canada there has been a remarkable hosting of sports competitions of all kinds, held under a wide variety of authorities, but all, in their own individual sport rights, worthy, effective and official.

These have been local and area competitions, regional and provincial games, some featuring many sports, some held in the winter season, some in the summer, and some staged indoors with others, outdoors. Some of the competitions had varied recognition and sanctions from national sport governing bodies, while others didn’t. Most of the competitions had age restrictions, scholastic or geographic restrictions of some kind. It was inevitable that people concerned closely with the development of athletes and sport, started to take a long critical look at what was going on in Western Canada.
