ATHLETICS CANADA NAMES 2004 NACAC TEAM

(Ottawa, July 16, 2004) – Athletics Canada is pleased to announce the athletes that will represent Canada at the 2004 North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) Championships for athletes under 23 years of age. The event will take place in Sherbrooke, Quebec, from July 30 to August 1, 2004.

“The NACAC championships are a high level meet and a key learning opportunity for our best young athletes,” says NACAC Canadian team head coach Richard Crevier. “The championships allow them to focus on improving and maintaining their goals for the summer. We’re looking for everyone to perform lifetime bests since one of our biggest goals is the continued progress of our athletes at major events.”

25 men and 23 women have qualified for the Championships. They have either achieved the NACAC standard, or they were the highest place finisher at the 2004 Canada Dry Canadian Track and Field Championships. All final selections were approved by Athletics Canada’s selection committee. Based on their strong results to date, Athletics Canada looks forward to the participation of these athletes on the NACAC-U23 team in July.

MARATHON TRAINING CLINIC - THE COMOX VALLEY COUNTRY ROADS MARATHON CLINIC

Darren Skuja of Absolutely Running and BC Road Running (a division of BC Athletics) have partnered in a Marathon Training Program based out of Courtenay / Comox.

PETER OGILVIE - TECHNICAL MANAGER TRACK & FIELD / DIRECTOR POWER & SPEED

As the new BC Athletics Technical Manager Track and Field and Director of the Power Speed Event Groups, I would like to introduce myself to you and take this time to point out some of my visions and goals in this position, effective immediately. I do believe in sharing this with each member within BC Athletics as we are all members in an extended track and field family and we need to make it happen - together.

As a former two-time Canadian Olympian (Barcelona 1992 & Atlanta 1996), I have had the honour of competing in this great sport for over 20 years in British Columbia. I have journeyed through the various developmental track and field programs here in British Columbia as a J.D., Juvenile, Junior and Senior athlete and I have taken part in many provincial, national and international competitions.

Having an extensive knowledge and understanding in the foundation of our sport, my immediate goals are to strengthen our sport from within and promote our sport to those who have not heard our message.

As I do like to have a much-more hands on approach with customer-service, your patience is needed as I try to manage this program the best way I can.

Here are just some of the key issues that I'll be working on with your much needed support and understanding:

1. Exposing more young people to the greatest sport in the world - track & field - by taking steps within our school systems to keep our athletes in track and field and recruit more into our sport.
2. Promote and develop a positive atmosphere incorporating a recognizable 'Team BC' for all age groups - Juvenile, Junior and Senior.
3. Develop a renewed media presence to help promote our sport to the province and the world.
4. Expanding official education and its program to recruit the next generation of volunteers and make it rewarding.
5. Coaching development is critical. Clubs revolve around coaches. Therefore we must do everything possible to help coaches coach. We must identify the coaches and look at ways to reward them with opportunities and remuneration.
6. Work together with existing clubs, committees and boards to develop a large pool of athletes that will allow our sport to grow in all areas.

I look forward in working alongside you in helping make this sport better for the future.

Sincerely,

Peter Ogilvie

NEW BC ATHLETICS DAY OF EVENT MEMBERSHIP FEE

BC Athletics Day of Event Membership Fee Sharing - New Schedule - effective April 1, 2004

The BC Athletics Board of Directors reviewed the Executive committee proposal and alternative proposals from both Maurice Wilson and Frank Stebner. The Board wishes to thank these members and others who may have contributed for their ideas and support on this matter.

The new Day of Event fee sharing schedule is as follows:

1. The calculations are based on the number of Day of Event Members entered in your event. (Those who are not registered annual members [current] of BC Athletics or another Provincial/Territorial, State or National Athletics Association.)
2. To support this BC Athletics provides to all sanctioned event organizers, a list of eligible members and an update to that list prior to the event. For those from another province, territory, state or national athletics association, they should verify membership with their valid association membership card. If they are not members of their provincial, territorial, state or national athletics association then they can become BC Athletics Day of Event members.
3. The new Day of Event Membership Fee sharing schedule is:

4. Associated with the new fee schedule is also a scale of Value-In-Kind Benefits linked to each Step of the new schedule.

The value in-kind or soft benefits component of a new schedule of BC Athletics Day of Event membership fee sharing would apply and have benefit for both the Sanctioned Event and BC Athletics/Divisions.

The in-kind benefits to Club/Event Organizing Committee and BC Athletics (the Divisions of) from sanctioned events are to be linked to the Day of Event Membership fee retained by the sanctioned event and that returned to BC Athletics. The guiding principles are:

1. that the more retained by the sanctioned event the more the event can provide to grow their participation and/or quality of their event; and
2. that the more that is retained by the event, the greater the value in-kind benefits to the association/division within the event.

The following will developed and linked to the steps in the new Fee Sharing Schedule.

For the sanctioned events the benefits, financial and in-kind benefits (in addition to the standard benefits already provided) include and in no particular order:

• an incentive to help grow participation in the event through the establishment of a new sharing formula for the day of event membership revenue;
• enabling prize money or enhanced prize money through the retaining of more day of event membership revenue, based on a new sharing formula;
• sport promotional information - provided by the association and put in participants event/race packages;
• for member clubs, information on where to get location and contact information - provided by the association and put in participants event/race packages;
• for children and families - information on kids programs - provided by the association and put in participants event/race packages;
• provision for the display and distribution of event information brochures at the BC Athletics booth at event expos;
• a review of the electronic version of the Calendar of Events which includes the consideration of the idea for a two tiered calendar:
  • the first calendar being only those events that are sanctioned by BC Athletics and other Prov/Terr or Nat'l Athletics Associations;
  • the second calendar - linked from the first calendar, would be the full calendar of all events, with the highlighting and bolding as is currently presented;
• a calendar of events listing fee for non sanctioned events;
• a partnership with the divisions of the association to provide assistance for regional level seminars and/or guest speakers in conjunction with a sanctioned event in that region.

These value-in-kind benefits will be linked in a progressive format to provide more to the event as the Day of Event Membership participation increases and as a result more of the Day of Event membership revenue is retained by the Club/Event Organizing Committee.

For BC Athletics/Divisions of the value-in-kind benefits to be linked to the steps in the new Fee Sharing Schedule include and in no particular order:

• association/division information - in participants event/race package;
• information on clubs - where to get location and contact information - in participants event/race package;
• Athletics (the sport) promotional material that is specific to various parts of the sport e.g. road running - in participants event/race package;
• information on kids programs - in participants event/race package;
• association division logo on event entry forms/information packages;
• signage at sanctioned events;
• booth space at event expo and/or the event;
• recognition at some level as a sponsor or supporter of the sanctioned event;
• designation of Day of Event revenue retained by the club to go to prize money in the event;
  association/division representative participation in event awards presentations - as appropriate.

These value-in-kind benefits will be linked in a progressive format to provide more exposure to BC Athletics/Divisions in the event as the Day of Event Membership participation increases and as a result less Day of Event membership revenue per person is returned to BC Athletics.
