Master K.S. Kim, Mr. David Zyluk, Mr. Harvey Strome, Mr. Mike Lecren, Mr. Pete Allen, Ms. Kathie Spenst, Dr. Chokri Dridi, Dr. Grant Hauer, Mr. Gary Miller, Miss. Jennifer Zyluk, Miss. Cecilia Lee, Miss. Lauren Schlauch, Mr. Jeff Mejia, Miss. Katherine Gray, Miss. Siobhan Buck, Miss. Connie Wong and Mrs. Leanne Friesen did a remarkable job to make sure the competitions were fair and smooth running.
 
Master Rennie, Master Froese, Mr. Dwayne (U. of A.

Respectfully yours,
Eric Wah, Alberta Referee Chairman
