Day two of the Canada Summer Games in St. John’s Newfoundland was a productive day for Team Alberta.

As of Monday evening, the athletes representing our province have accumulated 10 medals including three gold, four silver, and three bronze.

On Monday they claimed three gold, two silver and three bronze medals.

This includes a strong performance from Calgary’s Amaia Ervin-Arambarri who secured Alberta’s first gold in road cycling’s women’s individual time trial.

“This is my first-year cycling, I switched Triathlon into cycling this year, so it was a big shift and it took a lot of dedication and determination to get here and it’s really cool to see all the hours and time really pay off. I’m so excited and in shock still,” said Ervin-Arambarri, in a media release.
