"We look forward to continuing our work with Edmonton on this exciting project,"TSE managing directorLars Haue-Pedersen said in a statement.
"Edmonton is a city with a strong and clearly defined sports event strategy and to bring the Commonwealth there in 2022 just makes a lot of sense – for Edmonton and the Commonwealth Games movement.

The Edmonton 2022 bid committee will make its first official announcement on Tuesday, July 1.
