C’est notre moment: Opening Ceremony stirs emotions of Red Deer coming together
RED DEER — The Opening Ceremony of the 2019 Canada Winter Games set the bar high Friday night for what should be a tremendous two weeks of amateur sports competition.
Emanating from the Westerner Park Centrium, the ceremony featured song and dance, including the melodies of Alberta’s own Brett Kissel, who only added to the western flair of the show.
The ceremony began with an address from Red Deer mayor Tara Veer who welcomed Canadians from all corners of the country to “Canada’s emerging city.”
“Tonight the power of sport brings Canadians together. Tonight the maple leaf unites us all,” Veer stated.
