Team Alberta sets gold medal record
Team Alberta has set one provincial record and is one the verge of breaking another at the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer.
Alberta athletes won seven medals on Thursday, including three gold medals bringing their total to 31 to surpass the mark for the most gold medals earned by the province during a single Canada Winter Games.
The previous mark was 30 gold medals set at the 1995 Canada Winter Games in Grande Prairie.
To date, Alberta has earned 88 medals at the 2019 Games, just three short of equalling the Alberta record of 91 total medals at the 2003 Canada Winter Games in Bathurst-Campbelton, New Brunswick.
