Team Canada

Red and white are not only the colours associated with our nations flag but are also represented in the Olympic apparel worn by Team Canada, often accented with black to make the maple leaf shapes as vibrant as possible.

These looks are also reinterpreted for spectator apparel sold through retailers like Hudsons Bay.

Alberta Sports Hall of Fame “Halftime Report”

Published on July 28, 2021

By

Artistic swimming is one of only three sports that are contested only by women at the Olympic Games; followed by rhythmic gymnastics and softball.

The unified movement in time to music is the defining aspect of artistic swimming, in which athletes can participate as a duet or team, in either a technical or free routine.
Greg Korbutt, son of Alberta Sports Hall of Fame visionary Orest Korbutt, was also by on July 9 to tour the Hall for the first time. Thanks for visiting, Greg!
