to provide each hosting community with a legacy of experienced volunteers and upgraded facilities; and
to assist in the preparation of potential athletes for the Canada Games, where possible.

The Alberta Games are a provincial competition held every second year (even). In order to ensure that the Games include participants from every part of Alberta, the province has been divided into eight zones.

Playoffs or zone team selections will take place in each of the eight zones and participants will compete for their zone at the Alberta Games.

To be considered for involvement in the Alberta Games, each Provincial Sport Association must ensure there will be active participation in at least five of the eight zones.
