Time to set goals, and dust away the cobwebs of winter. It’s time to de-clutter our homes and lives. For our summer athletes, many training camps are well underway and for some competition seasons have already begun. For our winter athletes, it’s time to reflect upon the past year of achievements and challenges and fine tune the plan to prepare for off-season training. With less than 300 days to go until PyeongChang 2018, there’s no time to spare. Canadian athletes won 25 world championship medals this past season, leaving us tied for second in the final overall title rankings. The Winter Games are our domain, and we’re striving to be the top nation in 2018. Skiers like Erik Guay, Mikael Kingsbury and Alex Harvey are helping us get there. In February, Erik stormed the slopes and MESSAGE won silver in the men’s downhill at the 2017 World Alpine Skiing Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland. That achievement came FROM THE hot on the heels of his super-G gold at the same event. Mikael Kingsbury was once again the picture of consistency this season.

    2016 1 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT/CEO RICHARD CRÉPIN AND PETER NICOL 2016-2017 marked another year of transition for Gymnastics Canada as we wrapped up the last year of our previous strategic plan and launched our 2017-2020 Strategic Plan. We are very excited about our new strategic plan as it will provide focus to the organization in all we do over the next four years: OUR VISION: OUR MISSION: OUR VALUES: Be THE foundation Build the foundation. Collaboration. Dedication. sport in Canada. Create champions. Excellence. Innovation. Consistently achieve Inspire the nation. Integrity. international success. To support this new direction, an organizational review was conducted over the fall to ensure alignment of resources. After a detailed external review and recommendations, staffing was initiated to introduce some modifications and key roles in the organization. These changes to the structure will enhance our current capacity and allow GCG to continue moving forward and enable us to achieve the objectives outlined in our plan. Reflecting on the success of the past year, and the conclusion of the last cycle, the highlight was definitely the outstanding performances at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Of particular mention of course is Rosie MacLennan who was the official flag bearer for team Canada during the opening ceremonies, and who picked up her second Olympic gold medal in women’s trampoline. Rosie also broke records as this was a first ever back-to-back gold in trampoline gymnastics, and a first back-to-back gold for a Canadian summer athlete. Way to go Rosie - we are so very proud of you! Another important highlight of Rio was Ellie Black’s 5th place all-around finish in WAG, another all-time best showing for Canada.
