River Bend Golf and Recreation Area began as a legacy of the provincial Heritage Trust Fund in the 1980s, noted Hugh McPherson, Games Vice-Chair.

“Throughout the years, a number of events have helped build on that legacy, such as the 1988 Alberta Winter Games when the biathlon range was built,” he said, describing the area as a gem of the city.

“The 2019 Canada Winter Games are very pleased to continue the legacy of the development of this site, particularly for the purposes of not only the sport development of cross-country skiing and biathlon, but for the development of a facility that central Albertans can use as a recreational facility for a number of years to come.”
