2008 Track & Field Results - ACDirect Results Management System

The document found at the link below is a draft of how the system will work and what the procedures will be.

GM’s Making Dreams Possible

In its first year, the General Motors (GM) Making Dreams Possible initiative, in partnership with the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) has awarded 115 community clubs grants and 10 high performance grants across Canada! These grants have already provided funds for coach training and development to over 5,000 coaches, and ultimately affecting nearly 70,000 Canadian athletes.

Enhancing the experience of our Canadian athletes by providing them with coaching excellence from the grassroots all the way up to our elite athletes is an important step for Canadian Sport, however Making Dreams Possible could not be done without the support from our partners in spreading the word to provincial/territorial and local sport organizations.

CAC is now accepting applications for the next wave of GM’s Making Dreams Possible Club Coaching Grants and High Performance Coach Grants and the grant deadline of February 14, 2008 is fast approaching.

This year, to help clubs and coaches complete their applications, there is a new Helpful Hints page which gives an outline of specific criteria the Selection Committee is looking for.

Information on the grant and application process can be found at:
www.coach.ca/makingdreamspossible/club/re_applicant.htm. 

Children's Fitness Tax Credit Information

The Children's Tax Credit is an initiative put forth by the Government of Canada to provide some financial relief to parents to pay for the rising cost of organized sports, in order to keep our children involved in physical activity. The form can be found on the BC Athletics website at www.bcathletics.org/main/pdf/cftc_form.doc 

Below are the instructions (also available from the above link) for filling out the form.

Receipt Number:

The receipt number includes the child's BC Athletics membership number preceded by the applicable year – example: 2007-95-24187

Calculating eligible fees:

Registration and membership costs can include the costs of administration, instruction and the rental of facilities. If the fees charged to parents include part for accommodation, travel, food, or beverages then this part must be deducted when calculating the part of the fees that qualify for the tax credit. For example if club membership fees total $400 and includes a charge of $50 for travel and $50 for a club uniform then the eligible amount would be $400 - $50 - $50 = $300.

Description of Eligible Programs:

Eligible activities must include the following in order to qualify. Make sure descriptions of club programs makes mention and details all of the following:

• Ongoing (either a minimum of eight weeks duration, with a minimum of one session per week or, in the case of children's camps, five consecutive days;
• Supervision;
• Activities suitable for children; and
• Substantially all of the activities must include a significant amount of physical activity that contributes to cardio-respiratory endurance plus one or more of: muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, or balance.

If you have any further questions please contact Sam Collier – Manager, Registration & Membership Services at (604) 737-3177 or sam.collier@bcathletics.org.

High Flying Bird Hits New Heights

Saturday, January 19, 2008

SEATTLE - UBC's Mike Mason turned heads with a 2.30-metre high jump on Saturday at the University Of Washington’s Dempsey Indoor meet in Seattle, which qualifies him for the IAAF world indoor championships March 7-9 in Valencia, Spain.

It topped his records of 2.27 set last year, and is the highest indoor jump by a Canadian since Mark Boswell set a national record of 2.33 in 2002. It's also the highest Canadian jump, period, since Boswell cleared 2.30 at the 2004 worlds.

"I never would have thought we'd be thinking about the indoor worlds," said Mason, who is ranked seventh in the world. "The training has always been around performing well into Beijing. It means a lot to hit 2.30."

Mason’s leap also sets a new UBC record, a new Dempsey Indoor meet record, achieves the 2008 Olympic qualifying standard, and is one of the top-five in the world in 2008.

Road Race Measurement Seminar

Paul Adams is an IAAF/AIMS Grade “A” Measurer, and has been measuring road races in BC since 1996. He really enjoys measuring road races as it gets him out on his bike, connects him with the running community and allows him to give something back to the sport he loves so much. However, he has reached a point where he does not have the desire or the time to measure all the races that he is asked to measure. Unfortunately there are very few active measurers in BC and unless we can identify and train new measurers, race organizers will be unable to find a measurer willing to measure their race for certification.

Paul is prepared to put on a seminar this spring if there are some people interested in taking on this fun and worthwhile challenge. If anyone is interested please let Paul know at ptbadams@gmail.com. He will collect the names of those interested and hopefully will be able to arrange a time that is suitable for all.

For more information on road race measurement in Canada, please refer to: www.coursemeasurement.ca.

AN EVENING WITH DICK BEARDSLEY

A New Balance, Pacific Road Runners and Roundhouse Partnership
Friday, Feb 8, 7:00-9:30pm at the Roundhouse Community Centre

Tickets available by donation ($10 minimum) at:
Forerunners in Vancouver, 604-732-4535
Forerunners in North Vancouver, 604-982-0879

New Balance & the Pacific Road Runners are proud to present an inspiring speaker, Dick Beardsley, as part of the ‘First Half’ Half Marathon weekend on Friday, February 8th, 2008 at the Roundhouse Community Centre. Motivational. Inspirational. Captivating. Dick Beardsley is a professional speaker who speaks at sporting events, schools, non-profit organizations, and large corporations. His comfortable style and inspiring message has endeared him to audiences all over the world.

Dick Beardsley is a champion - in running and in life. Although his competitive running career ended in 1986, Dick still has the 5th fastest U.S. men’s marathon time in history. Best known for his 1982 Boston Marathon “Duel in the Sun” with Alberto Salazar in which Dick finished two seconds behind Salazar. It is often called the most memorable race in marathon history. It was the closest finish ever at the world’s premier marathon, and both runners broke the course and the American records. Dick is also a two-time Olympic Trials Marathon qualifier. He is a two-time winner and course record holder of the Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota and has won the London and Napa Valley marathons. But Dick is more than a running champion. He is a fighter. After a series of near-fatal accidents and a journey of self-discovery, Dick has turned his life around.

National Officials Committee Newsletter – January 2008

NOC NOC, the National Officials newsletter has now "gone digital". It will no longer be delivered by post. For some of us, this faster delivery will be welcome. For others, it will signal the beginning of the end of life as we know it.

Your Provincial Branch Chair was consulted by the editor, and agreed, on your behalf, that the advantages of "digital" outweighed the sentimental attachment that many of us have to ink on paper.

It will be delivered by e-mail, in PDF form to any Level 3+ official with a current e-mail address (based on the National Directory, plus updates). We recognize that this will not hit everyone who is interested, for various reasons.

We will "widen the circle" by posting a link to each issue on the BCA Officials Web Page.... and notifying members through the BCA Bulletin. This will have the added advantage of offering it to level 1 and 2 officials, who have never received it.

Read the January Issue on the NOC web page:
www.athletics.ca/files//Officials/NOC_NEWSLETTER_(JAN_2008)-EN.PDF

Please note the "Call For Nominations" for two NOC positions with terms that run from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2010. Applications must be postmarked or e-mailed dated no later than January 31, 2008.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact a current NOC member whose e-mail addresses are provided on page 3 of the newsletter.
