This release was issued under a previous government.
“I’m so excited to congratulate the 55 athletes from Alberta who are representing Canada at the Olympic Games in Sochi. Alberta has the second largest contingent of Canadian athletes and I know the whole country will be cheering them on.
“Alberta’s athletes are among the best in the world, especially when it comes to the Winter Olympics. We have a strong culture of winter sport that our government works hard to support, which is why we have invested in facilities, athletes and coaches from playground to podium. These investments have helped Alberta’s athletes become some of the best in the world, and are the reason why elite athletes from all nationalities choose to use Alberta's world-class training facilities.
“On behalf of the Alberta government, congratulations to Alberta’s athletes for making Canada’s Olympic Team, and best of luck to all Canadians at the Games in Sochi. We know you will make our province and our country proud. I look forward to seeing you win!”
