The Canada Winter Games bid farewell to the North on Saturday, capping one of the most successful Games ever with an entertaining closing ceremony.
With the three mascots of the 2007 Games leading the parade of athletes, the largest cheers were reserved for the Yukon team. The Games also made history on the podium, with all 13 provinces and territories capturing at least one medal for the first time.
In one of the closest competitions in the 40-year history of the Games, Ontario staged a furious second-week rally to edge Quebec in the flag race. It’s Ontario’s eighth victory all-time in the competition, which awards points for top-12 finishes in every event. Quebec did gain a measure of revenge by finishing atop the medal count with 122 (52 gold, 36 silver, 34 bronze). Ontario was second with 112 (37-35-40) and Alberta wound up third with 79 (24-29-26). British Columbia was a close fourth at 77 (24-24-29).
