Thank You Officials

A Message from David Weicker, Coordinator, Officials' Development, Athletics Canada

Officials: On behalf of Athletics Canada please accept my sincere thanks for all the contributions that you have made over this past year and will make this year as officials and leaders within the officiating world in Canada.  Your contributions mean so much to the athletes and coaches and while they don't always acknowlege what we do, they do appreciate the dedication and professionalism of officials. At the recent National Officials' Committee meeting with Branch Officials Chairs it was noted that there were over 400 meets in Canada this past year officiated by over 950 registered officials. That is truly remarkable.  In one Province there were only 12 registered officials who worked at 21 meets.  In another Province 160 officials worked at 120 meets.  That is a lot of dedication to our sport. Thank you.  Good luck with your officiating vocation this coming outdoor season. Feel free to pass this message on to provincial and local officials. Sincerely, David Weicker Coordinator, Officials' Development Coordinnateur du developpement des officiels Athletics Canada - Athlétisme Canada (250) 752-7234 dweicker@athletics.ca www.athletics.ca
