WHY EDMONTON
With an unrivalled history of hosting first class International Triathlon Union
(ITU) events, Edmonton continues to raise the bar through innovation and
hard work. After the 2014 TransCanada ITU Grand Final, Marisol Casado, ITU
President and IOC member stated, 'Edmonton has set a new standard for ITU'.
The Local Organizing Committee in partnership with the City of Edmonton
and Edmonton Events, has proven they can create a comprehensive
hosting plan and execute it professionally, using methods that reinforce the
competencies and capabilities of our collaborative team.
The Edmonton Bid was selected by Triathlon Canada because of these
fine qualities and a proven track record. Edmonton has earned the right to
compete for the privilege of representing Canada's entry to host the 2019 ITU
World Triathlon Grand Final- Edmonton will deliver above and beyond the
expectations of ITU.
On behalf of the many hearts, minds and spirit that has gone into the
preparation of this bid, thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted by the Edmonton 2019 Grand Final Bid Committee
