  • Annual Report 2018
    MESSAG E FROM THE PRESIDENT In 2018, the collaborative work of all of us in the sport system showcased Team Canada as a positive force in this country, both on and off the field of play. In February, Canada’s best-ever Olympic Winter Games performance with a record 29 medals won, 30 Canadian best-ever finishes, and 40 top-five finishes, showed us what it means to ‘Be Olympic’. These record-setting results are a testament to the tireless work of all in the community over the past year. By collaborating closely to improve athlete, coaching, and organizational infrastructure across the sport network, we are consistent in our focus on delivering a promising future for Canadian sport. Our corporate partners are also behind us. Corporate Canada has fueled the amplification of our work through their investments and by joining forces with our talented Marketing Team to develop class-leading programs to elevate the sport system in the consciousness of all Canadians. Support for grassroots and next generation developmental initiatives, like RBC Training Ground, the Petro-Canada Fueling Athlete & Coaching Excellence (FACE) Program and Game Plan powered by Deloitte are supporting our Canadian athletes in innovative ways throughout their careers. As inspired as we all are by the success of our teams this past year including the medals won in 2018, I believe we are equally inspired by how Canada has embraced the values for which we all stand. Our national sport system reflects Canada’s commitment to the values of integrity, inclusion and equality. In 2018, we were proud to host numerous events that celebrated these values, from hosting the first-ever integration of Pride House International into a National Olympic House in PyeongChang, to supporting the first WADA Athletes Forum in Calgary, to Christine Girard’s medal re-allocation ceremony in Ottawa in December celebrating victory through clean sport, our efforts reflected the COC’s and our sport system’s devotion to living our values.

  • Paul Rosen Has a Lightning-Fast Glove, Cat-Quick
    Craig McCord is one of the most successful coaches in Canadian sport. At the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, he guided the Canadian team to 16 medals (four gold, nine silver and three bronze). Veterans Benoit Huot and Valerie Grand’Maison delivered multi-medal performances once again while newcomers Summer Mortimer, Aurelie Rivard and Brianna Nelson left no doubt Canada will be a Para-swimming powerhouse for years to come. McCord is a chartered professional coach and an NCCP Level 3 certified coach. He has been coaching since 1986, joining Swimming Canada in 2004. That includes head coach at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Paralympic Games the 2006 and 2010 IPC World Championships and the 2007 and 2011 Para Pan Am Games. McCord has made an impact at both the national and international levels. With Swimming Canada he developed and implemented a national team development strategy which has made the Canadian Para-swimming program the envy of other nations and a primary reason Canada can continually produce top flight Para-swimmers. McCord’s talents have not gone unnoticed in international swimming. In 2012 he was selected as a member of the IPC Swimming Coaching Advisory Council and was a member of the London 2012 Event Program Working Group. In 2010 he helped develop the recommendations submitted to the 2010 IPC Swimming Sports Forum regarding rule and procedural changes to help improve the sport. From 1989 to 2004, McCord was the Director of Swimming with the Richmond Racers and Richmond Rapids Swim Club. Besides managing four full-time and 16 part-time coaches he designed and implemented training plans for age group swimmers who eventually competed at major events such as the Olympics and FINA World Aquatics Championships.

  • 2019 Canada Winter Games Archery Technical Package
    2019 Canada Winter Games Archery Technical Package Technical Packages are a critical part of the Canada Games. They guide the selection of athletes by prescribing the age and eligibility requirements, assist the organizing committees by detailing tournament formats and scoring procedures, assist Chefs de Mission in verifying eligibility, help with budgeting by describing the number of participants permitted, advance coaching certification by stating minimum requirements and generally contribute to athlete development by identifying each National Sport Organization’s (NSO) version of athletes in the “training to compete” phase of its Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD), or other suitable phase of the model as justified by the NSO, discussed with the LTAD expert group, and approved by the Canada Games Council (CGC) Sport Committee. Every Games' coach, manager, Sport Chairperson and Mission staff has an obligation to read and understand every aspect of the Technical Package. Failure to do so could cost an athlete his or her eligibility for the Games or could affect final standings or the conduct of the competition. If someone does not understand an aspect of a Technical Package, he or she is to seek clarification from the CGC Sport Committee through his or her Chef de Mission or NSO. Technical Packages are developed 36 to 24 months prior to Games primarily by NSOs, following principles outlined in this document, guidelines and requirements of the CGC. As the overall governing body of the Games, the CGC has the ultimate authority over Technical Packages, but this authority is exercised only with the knowledge and understanding of the concerned NSO.
