The first week of competition has wrapped up at the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer, and it was a great week for home province athletes.

Alberta won 16 gold medals (surpassing their total from the 2015 Games in Prince George, BC), 17 silver and 11 bronze medals. The first week represents an increase of five medals compared to the halfway mark of the 2015 Games.
