Teams from across Canada will descend on Halifax to continue this great Canadian tradition. Alberta will send one of its largest teams ever with 337 participants from 49 communities, competing in 20 different sports.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2309262\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to congratulate the athletes and coaches heading to Halifax from Lethbridge and southern Alberta: Don Cowan, coach and Holly Henderson, manager for figure skating; Tim Cooney, manager for speed skating; and the athletes: Ryan Chenoweth, hockey; Jazlyn Tabachniuk, figure skating; Paul Cooney, speed skating; and Taylor Evans, judo.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2309263\" data-originallang=\"en\">They, along with all the athletes, will do their best, showcase their skills, and use good sportsmanship as their guide to success.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2309264\" data-originallang=\"en\">The 1975 Winter Games left great memories and a lasting legacy in southern Alberta and I am sure the 2011 games will do the same in Halifax.</p>",
