Fort Macleod, Alberta has been named the eighth winning community in the Kraft Celebration Tour.

As part of the Kraft Celebration Tour, Fort Macleod hosts a special edition of SPORTSCENTRE with anchors Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole when they broadcast live from the Alberta community on Friday, Aug. 27 on TSN.

Fort Macleod also receives a $25,000 community refresh from Kraft Canada that goes towards upgrading the sports field at F.P. Walshe School.

Located in southwestern Alberta, Fort Macleod was initially founded as a North-West Mounted Police barrack.  The town was named in honour of the detachment’s colonel, James Macleod.  The community now boasts more than 3,000 residents, many of whom rely on the rugby, track and field, and baseball facilities at F.P. Walshe School to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.

Fort Macleod joins Bay Roberts, NL; Port Dover, ON; Pictou, NS; Pinawa, MB; Abrams Village, PE; Outlook, SK; and Wakefield, QC, as one of the 10 winning communities in the Kraft Celebration Tour.  Fort Macleod was named to the tour after winning a national head-to-head online vote over the community of Wetaskiwin, AB.

Canadians can decide the other winning communities for the Kraft Celebration Tour.  One pair of communities is featured per day through July 23, and Canadians can visit www.TSN.ca/kraftcelebrationtour or www.RDS.ca/tourneedecelebrationkraft to vote for their favourite Kraft Celebration Tour nominations.  Voting is unlimited and runs from 12 noon ET each day for a 24-hour period.
