It's your time to SHINE!

Welcome to Zone 7 - Lakeland Senior Games Association

Alberta 55 plus represents the heart of mature Albertans. It stands for the idea of a fuller, healthier, more vital future; for the straightforward steps that can be taken towards that future. We promote participation and action and have generated a unique spirit of cooperation across the province.

The association believes that sport and recreation development for mature adults is a provincial issue. It has a direct bearing on the quality of life in this province and it can become a way of life for the individual and the province as a whole. That is the ideal. We’re working to make it a reality.

Your local Zone 7 Board includes:

An Update from the Provincial Board

The Board has made a necessary and exciting change to the structure of our provincial games. Looking ahead to 2027 and beyond, there will no longer be a summer and winter games per se. There will be an Alberta 55 plus Provincial Games in August that will consist of approximately 21 different events, which would be an amalgamation of most of the current “summer’ events and a few of the “winter” events added. Events listed below.

In taking this approach, that would leave approximately 9 events that would be offered as a package to any community or municipality that would care to host them. Each of these remaining events could also be parceled out as single events…like hockey or ice curling for example.

These nine events typically have greater numbers than quite a few of the other events and could “stand alone” if necessary. The Board envisions that in the off years (even years) we would stage “open” events in these nine disciplines and invite teams or individuals from across the province to participate. They would not be qualifiers but would be treated as Provincial events and medals would be awarded to the respective winners.

This is a new approach to our games and will take some patience and understanding on our part to ensure its success. No doubt there will be some” glitches in the matrix” as we move to this new approach to how we run the games. I encourage you to reach out to your zone presidents and zone activity directors to answer the questions that you will no doubt have.
