sports@medicinehatnews.com@MedicineHatNews The Southern Alberta Summer Games will not take place in 2023. The Southern Alberta Recreation Association announced Wednesday in a press release they would not be holding the 2023 Summer Games, citing impacts related to COVID-19. They say the impacts of the pandemic have placed difficulty on their regions and communities and they were not able to secure a host community for the 2023 Games. “We recognize that these grass roots Games are important to our communities and residents and we are looking forward to working with our 2024 host to bring the Games back after a four year hiatus,” said Kara Brake, Chair of the Southern Alberta Summer Games. “We appreciate the communities that considered hosting in 2023 and look forward to their continued interest in future Games.” The 2022 Summer Games were split across the regions with Medicine Hat hosting the disc golf competitions. The last full games were held in Pincher Creek in 2019 for the 50th Anniversary SASG, which featured 2,000 athletes. 8-7
