2019 Games organizers celebrate final legacy venue to open
The final legacy venue project of the 2019 Canada Winter Games has now officially been completed and opened.
Canyon Ski Resort, nestled among the hills just northeast of the city, says it can now boast a venue that is one of the finest in Canada, and one that is “world class” which will attract national events or better once the Games have come and gone.
“It was a really good vibe when we opened Thursday for night skiing, and with being the first resort in western Canada,” said David Martel, resort co-owner, during a press conference at the venue on Thursday.
“For us as a resort to be able to put not only Red Deer on the map, but Canyon, which is Alberta’s largest non-mountain ski resort, it makes people realize what Red Deer has in their own backyard.”
