Milestone achieved for the 2026 Alberta Summer Games

The clock is officially ticking! Strathcona County is hosting the 25^th Alberta Summer Games from July 16 – 19, 2026, and preparations are well underway at the one-year mark.

Strathcona County is proud to announce that Pembina Pipeline Corporation will be the Presenting Sponsor for the 2026 Alberta Summer Games! This sponsorship will help ensure that the County is well positioned to host an exceptional event.

“Pembina is thrilled to be the Presenting Sponsor for the 2026 Alberta Summer Games,” says Brendan Marin, Manager, mâmawi District, Pembina Pipeline Corporation.  “The Games provide an incredible opportunity to connect community, celebrate youth, and showcase the vibrant spirit of Strathcona County.

It takes a robust team to carry out an event of this scale.

We are committed to showcasing the best of Alberta and creating a legacy that will inspire future generations.”

Nearly 40 years later, our community has another opportunity to showcase world-class facilities, a strong community spirit and a thriving tourism sector while inspiring athletes from across the province at the 2026 Alberta Summer Games.
