Sport Event Congress 2022, now to be hosted in Richmond in 2023
Back in October 2019, it was announced that Richmond would host Canada’s largest sport congress, and we still will, just a year later, on March 21 – 23, 2023.
Due to COVID-19, the 2020 Sport Event Congress set to take place in Edmonton was cancelled, and the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance has been dedicated in their efforts to work with current and future host cities of this event, and create a new plan moving forward that benefits all parties.
The plan for Ottawa to host in 2021 will move ahead, and tentative plans are in place to return to Edmonton for 2022. Both Richmond Sport Hosting and Tourism Winnipeg, the 2022 and 2023 host cities, will delay their hosting to 2023 and 2024 respectively.
The CSTA stated in their announcement of the revised plan, saying “This is a remarkable example of what our sport tourism industry can accomplish together.”
