Cindy Medynski

As the Director of Sport and Culture Events at Explore Edmonton, Cindy Medynski aims to bring once in a lifetime experiences to Alberta’s vibrant capital. While working to elevate Edmonton’s profile internationally as a leading sport hosting destination, she guides a motivated and enthusiastic team as they curate a wide array of sports and cultural events that celebrate the spirit of Edmonton. In her role, Cindy collaborates within the unique and dynamic City of Edmonton/Explore Edmonton partnership, working since 2017 to bring significant economic and social impacts to Edmonton.

Her dedication to sport and events began as a young multi-sport athlete and event volunteer, eventually working her way on to some notable local organizing committees in Edmonton, like the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the ITU World Cup Triathlon. A firm believer in the transformative power of sport tourism, Cindy sees events as catalysts for human connection, community enrichment and destination development. Having been born and raised here, Cindy has proudly chosen to raise her young family in this extraordinary city.
