It was the worst kept secret in Airdrie, but it was made official this morning. Airdrie has been chosen to host the 2014 Alberta Summer Games.

Christine Cusanelli, Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation with the Alberta Government made the announcement in front of an estimated 300 people packed into the Shane Homes soccer pitch at Genesis Place.

It took a lot of planning, and a very successful site visit in April. And now, the city will host the 2014 Alberta Summer Games.

Congratulations to the City, and the bid committee for mounting a successful campaign for the the games.
