Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, The Lethbridge Alberta Summer Games Society made the decision to cancel the 2021 Alberta Summer Games Friday after consulting with health officials, the City of Lethbridge, the Alberta Government and the Games Society, making the decision based on the health and safety of the participants, spectators, volunteers and residents of the City of Lethbridge. Lethbridge was originally set to host the 2020 Alberta Summer Games last July, but concerns around the pandemic at that time bumped the Games to this summer.
