CALGARY, Alberta — Sport Calgary’s popular “All Sport One Day” event set a new attendance record this year, with over 4000 kids discovering a new sport for free.

Held this year on Saturday, June 15, All Sport One Day is a free annual day of sport discovery for Calgary kids ages 6 to 17. Local sport organizations – over 85 this year - volunteered their time to host over 380 sport sessions at 20 partner facilities across Calgary.
