Calgary kids will be able to experience a day of free sports on June 19 during the second annual All Sport One Day.

The event, put on by the Calgary Sport Council, is expanding this year to include four more facilities, 23 sports organizations and nearly a dozen Olympic and Paralympic volunteers.

“It was so good that this year we decided to expand it,” said All Sport One Day program co-ordinator Helene Darnet.

“We are in six facilities and we are expecting around 1,200 kids.”

Children aged six to 12 will have the chance to come to the various facilities and try out different sports as diverse as cricket, karate, netball, fencing and mountain biking.

“Everyone can benefit from getting out in the sun and being physically active and living a healthier lifestyle,” said former Olympic gold medal skeleton racer and Calgary Sport Council ambassador Duff Gibson.
