The Volleyball Canada Youth National Championships are currently underway at the Edmonton EXPO Centre, and the tournament is generating a significant economic impact on the region. According to Brad Moyer, chair of the National Indoor Championships committee, the event is expected to generate between $30 and $48 million in economic spinoffs. This is due in part to the large number of visitors who are attending the tournament. Over 30,000 out-of-town visitors are expected to come to Edmonton for the event, including athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators. These visitors will be spending money on hotels, restaurants, transportation, and other goods and services. The tournament is also creating jobs for 350 referees from across Canada and the United States. These referees are responsible for officiating the matches and ensuring that the tournament runs smoothly. The Volleyball Canada Youth National Championships are a major event for the city of Edmonton and the province of Alberta. The tournament is not only generating economic spinoffs, but it is also showcasing the talents of some of the best young volleyball players in the country. The tournament runs until Sunday, May 28th, and single-day passes are available for purchase online or at the on-site box office.
