An important part of the legacy of hosting the International Children’s Winter Games in Kelowna in January 2011 is the opportunity to send a team of athletes to future Children’s Games. Kelowna has done just that!

Team Kelowna is excited to be sending a full team of young athletes and coaches to attend the summer games taking place in Lanarkshire Scotland from August 3-8, 2011. Eighteen young athletes between the ages of 12-15 have been selected to represent Kelowna in the sports of swimming, sailing, track and field and golf. Four coaches will be accompanying the team.

Making attendance at this event possible are the sponsors and friends of the Games. Thank-you to the following sponsors for their Team Kelowna support:
