FACULTY’S HISTORY
In 1933, a Director of Recreation position was created at the University of Manitoba. It was not until 1950, however, that a Department of Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics was established. The purpose of this unit was to provide physical education courses for the various schools and faculties and to direct, organize and supervise the intramural and intercollegiate athletic programs. In February 1964, the Senate of the University approved the establishment of a three-year program leading to the Bachelor of Physical Education (BPE) degree. In June 1966, the status of School of Physical Education was achieved. Senate approved the establishment of a Master of Physical Education degree program in May 1979. This degree is offered through the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Senate approved a Bachelor of Recreation Studies (BRS) degree in April 1981 and Faculty status was achieved in May 1982. In 1992, the Faculty established the Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute to facilitate, conduct and disseminate research of the highest quality in the areas of human movement and leisure studies, in order to contribute to an enhanced understanding of health and human performance. In 1990, the Master of Physical Education was changed to the Master of Science. In the spring of 1998, a four-year Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science (BESS) degree program, a revised three-year BPE degree and a Master of Arts in Recreation Studies were approved by the Council on Post-Secondary Education (COPSE). Students entering the BESS degree program would choose to specialize in one of three streams: Exercise and Sport Science; Physical Activity, Health and Wellness; or Athletic Therapy. The Canadian Athletic Therapists Association (CATA) accredited the Athletic Therapy Program in September 2000, making the AT program one of only five such accredited programs in Canada. In September 2004, the degree designation of the Bachelor of Recreation Studies was changed to the Bachelor of Recreation Management and Community Development (BRMCD). In December 2005, Senate approved the recommendation to change the name of the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science degree to the Bachelor of Kinesiology (BKin) degree, effective October 2006. In December 2006, Senate approved a revised undergraduate curriculum that began in September 2007. Students in all three degree programs (BPE, BKin, BRMCD) complete shared core courses as well as core courses specific to their degree program, and a variety of electives. Activity courses were replaced with new Experiential Learning Courses (ELC) that combine theory and practice in a variety of program related settings. For BKin and BRMCD students, courses are packaged as “areas of emphasis.” The transition to the revised curriculum was completed in 2009-2010. In May 2006, COPSE approved a multi-unit research-based Ph.D. in Applied Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba effective September 2007. The four participating academic units are: Nursing, Kinesiology and Recreation Management, Human Ecology and Medical Rehabilitation. In March 2007, the Board of Governors approved the recommendation to change the name of the Faculty to the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management, effective July 1, 2007.

DEAN’S FOREWORD
Dr. Jane Watkinson, Dean
This year’s report of the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management documents some exciting changes that will have a huge impact on the future of the Faculty and its role in the University. This seems to be a time of constant change. Our buildings, our fiscal resources, our administrative team, and even our staff complement are all undergoing ‘renovations’! We welcome new administrators in the Faculty: Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht has taken on the role of Associate Dean Academic, Dr. Michelle Porter is the new Associate Dean Research, Dr. Joannie Halas is the Chair of Undergraduate Programs, and Dr. Elizabeth Ready is the Director of the Applied Health Sciences Doctoral Program. Dr. Dennis Hrycaiko remains the Chair of the Faculty’s Graduate Programs, while Gary Thompson and Coleen Dufresne continue in their positions of Directors of Active Living and Bison Sport. The Faculty is continuing, with new people, places and processes, to move towards our vision of being known for our excellence in research and teaching, high performance sport, and recreation service. We are extremely pleased that Dr. Phillip Gardiner has been appointed as the Canadian Institute of Health Research’s Interim Scientific Director for the Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (IMHA) for a term of one year. Dr. Gardiner will be the first person from kinesiology to hold such a position. He currently serves as Chair of the IMHA Advisory Board and is a Tier I Canada Research Chair in Physical Activity and Health Studies. He is a member of the Spinal Cord Research Centre, where he directs a research laboratory, and of the Neurodegenerative Disease Research Group. Dr. Gardiner conducts research on the effects of physical activity, aging, and spinal cord injury on the nervous and neuromuscular systems, and has published three books and over 100 articles in this area. His research has been supported by grants from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, the Natural Sciences & Engineering Research Council Canada, the Canadian Space Agency, and the National Institutes of Health in the United States. Phil will continue to be a member of the Faculty of KRM. The decision by the University Board of Governors to approve a mandatory student fee that will fund both a new Active Living building, and the normal operations of our Recreation Services and Bison Sport will allow the Faculty to engage every student on the University campus in Active Living! This will be a new challenge for our Active Living staff and our Bison Sport event staff, and a new opportunity for our students and professors to become involved in the knowledge translation process. Our plan is to find ways in which our senior and graduate students can support the activities of the Active Living/Bison Sport staff through applied research, and the sharing of best practice. In return these students will find opportunities for experiential education, learning the professional skills required for their future, and having opportunities to practice the delivery of recreation and sport programs and events before they graduate. We are once again welcoming new staff to the Faculty. Five new Assistant Professors join us this year and bring us new areas of expertise that will likely shape our undergraduate degrees and our research
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 3
programs for many years to come. Their expertise in the biological, sociocultural and psychological underpinnings of our field will provide us with new understandings of current science/scholarship and its application of kinesiology, physical education, and recreation. We welcome Drs. Danielle Bouchard, Cheryl Glazebrook, Amanda Johnson, Moss Norman, LeAnne Petherick and Shaelyn Strachan. We have experienced so much change in our academic staff that professors who have been here for three years are now seen to be ‘senior’! We will be seeking three additional new professors this year. But these new positions are gained through the loss of long-standing staff members who have retired or moved to other institutions. We particularly want to acknowledge the many years of contribution by Dr. Janice Butcher, who retired this year. Janice has taught literally thousands of students over the years and has had an impact on the Faculty and the Province in many different ways: in the preparation of hundreds of physical educators, in the administration of the Faculty’s degree programs, and in the management of the province’s Field Hockey programs. Her contributions have been many and broad. We will miss her and her dedication to our field and to our Faculty. We will also miss longstanding faculty members Dr. Kelly MacKay and Dr. Jennifer Mactavish, who have moved to Ryerson University. Both have been instrumental in the development and stewardship of the Recreation Management and Community Development degree. They have had outstanding research programs that have had major impact nationally and internationally, and have made contributions to the Faculty and the University through their administrative roles. We wish them the very best. I hope that the following pages give you a glimpse into the many activities that have been going on in the Faculty in the 2010-11 academic year.

HEALTH, LEISURE AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE RESEARCH INSTITUTE
July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 Dr. Phillip Gardiner, Associate Dean (Research), Director, Health, Leisure & Human Performance Research Institute, and Canada Research Chair in Physical Activity and Health Studies
January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011 Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht, Acting Associate Dean (Research) Acting Director, Health, Leisure & Human Performance Research Institute
The period July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 proved to be a very dynamic period for the Institute, characterized by significant changes in affiliate membership, and increases in media exposure, funding and other research activities. Phillip Gardiner was in place as Director for the first half of this reporting period, before beginning a six- month research leave on January 1, 2011. Summer/fall 2010 saw the attraction of several new research affiliates to the Institute, including: Dr. Amanda Johnson from University of Waterloo, who will begin January 1, 2012; Drs. Ted (Moss) Norman from Concordia University and LeAnne Petherick from Memorial University, who will begin July 1, 2011; Dr. Cheryl Glazebrook from McMaster University and University of Toronto, who began on January 1, 2011; Dr. Shaelyn Strachan from the University of Ottawa; and Dr. Danielle Bouchard, a Post-Doctoral Fellow from the Universite de Sherbrooke. In addition, Nicole Dunn arrived at the Institute as our new Associate Director (Administration) in August 2010. Some of the most exciting news from the Institute concerns the recognition of the work done by our affiliates from sources outside the University. Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht continued to educate the public on surviving water accidents – in September, televised segments of the Discovery Channel’s Daily Planet and CBC’s The Mercer Report (shown at right) dealt with the proper way to exit a submerged vehicle. Also in September, Dr. Elizabeth Ready was interviewed on CTV News discussing the benefits of integrating physical activity into the health care system, and the potential role of kinesiologists in moving this forward. Liz also appeared in an article in the Winnipeg Free Press on September 15, 2010, discussing the cost of obesity and smoking on the health care system. At the end of September, Dr. Russell Field traveled to Toronto to be a major impetus in the Canadian Sport Film Festival, and the inaugural Winnipeg edition of this festival took place November 26, 2010, with a pair of screenings at the Manitoba Museum. Dr. Todd Duhamel was appointed to the Canadian Association of Cardiac Rehabilitation Committee in September, and was awarded grants from Heart and Stroke Manitoba and the Manitoba Health Research Council. Todd commented on energy drinks in the Winnipeg Free Press on August 9, 2010, and on CTV News on November 17, 2010. Dr. Sarah Teetzel appeared on AM 770 Calgary radio station in August, discussing doping and varsity sports. As well, Dr. Leisha Strachan discussed her research concerning children’s
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 5
experiences in Mini-U on CBC Radio’s Up To Speed program in August, and CJOB’s Research Report in July. Dr. Jennifer Mactavish was awarded the Dr. & Mrs. D.R. Campbell Outreach Award (given to a U of M staff member who has shared their professional and scholarly experience through years of community service), and former FKRM Dean Dr. Henry Janzen was honoured with a Dean Emeritus designation (with both awards presented at Convocation ceremonies in June). Dr. Jennifer Mactavish also “teamed up” with Dr. Melanie Gregg (Department of Kinesiology and Applied Health, University of Winnipeg) to successfully apply for an Establishment Grant – worth $90,000 over the next three years – from the Manitoba Health Research Council. Dr. Mactavish was also appointed as Associate Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. In September 2010, HLHPRI affiliate Dr. Elizabeth Ready and Michelle Nelson, PhD candidate, helped draw attention to the need for increased primary prevention initiatives in Manitoba, through the release of a report – dubbed “The Cost of Apathy” – which placed a $4.7-billion value on the long-term cost of smoking, obesity and physical inactivity in the province. The report, entitled Making the Case for Primary Prevention: An Economic Analysis of Risk Factors in Manitoba, was funded by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, the Alliance for the Prevention of Chronic Disease, CancerCare Manitoba, and Health in Common. (Ready and Nelson co-chaired the Steering Committee.) Among the report’s findings is the suggestion that a 1% to 2% reduction in risk factors per year could save the Manitoba economy up to $3.5 billion in direct and indirect health care costs, while reducing deadly chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke and cancer by as much as 50%. To read the report in full, see www.heartandstroke.mb.ca/EconomicAnalysis Dr. Phillip Gardiner was part of a research team (shown at left) from the University of Western Ontario that was awarded a $2.5-million grant to examine neural health and physical activity, and was also appointed to the Chair of the Advisory Board for the Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (IMHA), one of the 13 institutes of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). In January 2011, Dr. Phillip Gardiner began a six- month research leave and Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht took over the reins as Acting Director. A great research institute is built on its staff and students. Our complement of excellent researchers is growing quickly. We were thrilled to welcome Dr. Cheryl Glazebrook (from McMaster University) to her new office on January 1, 2011. She has begun creating her new Perceptual Motor Behaviour Laboratory. The faculty has also hired two more research professors in the areas of exercise physiology and exercise psychology; we expect them to start July 1, 2011. We were also pleased to welcome Val Myers in February 2011 as our new office assistant in the Institute’s front office. With this explosion of research staff has come an increase in the number of graduate students and the need for space. The faculty’s graduate program recommended 15 new applicants for Fall 2011. A new, dedicated graduate student laboratory/study space has also been allocated in the Frank Kennedy Building and will soon undergo the necessary renovations.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 6
Congratulations are in order for Dr. Leisha Strachan, who has become our Faculty's latest nationally funded scholar, having received a research grant for $27,500 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Drs. Strachan and Adrienne Leslie-Toogood (Canadian Sport Centre) have also received a grant from Sport Canada for $14,600 to work on a cognitive development component of the Long Term Athlete Development Model. Drs. Strachan and Elizabeth Ready have been awarded a grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) for a new research program, "Evidence-based kernels to promote healthy diet, activity, and weight in children from birth through age 12 at a population level: The Lifestyle Triple P - Positive Parenting Program.” The project is funded by PHAC and approved for Phase One for a period of 12 months in the amount of $211,646.60. Drs. Strachan and Ready are part of a team led by Drs. John Walker and Steven Feldgaier, Department of Clinical Health Psychology, Faculty of Medicine. In total there are 15 participants from a variety of U of M Faculties (Nursing, Social Work, Community Health Sciences, Human Ecology, Medicine) and government (Healthy Child Manitoba). Drs. Jon McGavock and Joannie Halas have received $151,000 in funding from PHAC for the first year of their project “Getting Better Together: Application of peer-based models for achieving healthy weights in Northern Aboriginal Communities.” This is truly an exciting and worthy project. Dr. Todd Duhamel (shown, at the Institute’s first Conversations in motion event) has received another grant, this time an operating grant from CIHR which provides funding of $400,000 for the next four years for work on cardiovascular health. Finally, Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht has been awarded a five- year $135,000 Discovery Grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council to continue our work on thermoregulation and control of voluntary and involuntary muscle activity. Internal University of Manitoba grants have also been recently awarded to Drs. Sarah Teetzel (UM/SSHRC International Travel Grants Program) and Leisha Strachan (Internal SSHRC Grant). Finally, the Institute is working on three new initiatives: 1) We will have our first Graduate Student Research Day in Fall 2011; 2) we recently implemented an Integrated Research Initiative in an effort to combine research expertise from our research professors and our ‘faculty providers,’ who include staff from our Active Living, Bison Sport and Athletic Therapy areas; and, 3) we are working on a process to change the name of the Institute to a shorter, more memorable and more brandable name to assist our constituents in recognizing the work of our researchers. We hope to make progress on all three areas in the near future. These are certainly exciting times!

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Dr. Kelly MacKay, Associate Dean (Academic)
I am pleased to share highlights from another busy and successful year for the Faculty’s academic programs. Thank-you for the leadership provided to our graduate program by Dr. Dennis Hrycaiko and Janis McGonigle and to our undergraduate program by Karin Nowak-Bailey, Patti Dickieson, Jackie Elliott, and especially to Dr. Janice Butcher (shown, below right), who completed her term as Undergraduate Program Chair and retired June 30, 2011. Her enthusiasm for and dedication to our undergraduate students and programs are unparalleled. Our academic staff continues its evolution and growth. In 2010-11 we welcomed Dr. Cheryl Glazebrook on a three-year contingent Assistant Professor appointment and also confirmed appointments for five tenure-track Assistant Professors, Dr. Moss Norman, Dr. LeAnne Petherick, Dr. Amanda Johnson, Dr. Shaelyn Strachan and Dr. Danielle Bouchard, who will be joining us in 2011-12. Dr. Jennifer Mactavish was appointed Associate Dean in the Faculty of Graduate Studies for a one-year term. A major undertaking and accomplishment for the undergraduate program in 2010-11 was submitting our Bachelor of Physical Education and Kinesiology degrees for accreditation review by the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators (CCUPEKA). The on-site accreditation review visit occurred in November. The CCUPEKA accreditation ensures standards related to breadth and depth of curricula and qualifications of instructors/professors, as well as student support services (e.g., advising). I am happy to report that CCUPEKA approved accreditation of both programs at its June meeting. In addition, the Bachelor of Kinesiology Athletic Therapy Program received re-accreditation from the Canadian Athletic Therapist Association (CATA) for 2010 - 2014. With our ongoing commitment to curricular excellence, a number of course changes were approved to refine and expand our undergraduate program offerings. Wilderness Adventures, an experiential learning course, was offered for the first time in the 2010 summer session. Also of note is the addition of two courses on Coaching High Performance Athletes, and two new courses that focus on Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity. This year was the second offering of PHED 3760 Diverse Populations Mentorship, an experiential learning course, which under the leadership of Dr. Joannie Halas saw an increased number of our Physical Education students enroll and work with the Aboriginal Youth Mentor Programs at 13 schools throughout the inner city and north end of Winnipeg. A new course was also approved for our graduate program – Current Research in Physical Activity, Health, and Leisure: Psycho- social Aspects. This will serve as a companion course to the also recently added, Current Research in Physical Activity, Health, and Leisure: Physical Aspects, which has just been offered for the second time this year. Our Undergraduate Advisory Board membership changed this year. Thank-you to several members who completed their terms: firstly to the chair, Bruce Miller who ably and enthusiastically led the group since 2007, and to Jo-Anne Weir, Jaymi Derrett, Jim Hamilton, Rachel Cooley, Nick Dyck, Paul Huntington and Jennifer Westwood. Welcome to our new members: Nancy Militano, Syl Lemelin, Christian Robin, Tina Riggs, Audrey McIlratih, Michelle Williams, Jennifer Onyskie-Marcus and Wendy Stewart. Returning
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 9
members are Karen Beck, Alain Couture, Michelle Meade, Jan Schmalenberg, Ted Bigelow, Laurel Hanna, Mark Clarke and Grant McManes, who assumed the chair. The Advisory Board provides advice on matters concerning our degree programs particularly as they relate to our relevance in the field, as well as a connection to professional networks and alumni as advocates for the BPE, BKin and BRMCD degree programs. Congratulations to Colleen Plumton (shown, in Kenya as part of the Faculty’s Sport without Borders initiative), who was KRM’s recipient of the University of Manitoba Outreach Award, and received the University Teaching Service (UTS) Teacher Recognition honours this year from BRMCD student Ann Mohammed. Two new awards for our Faculty were approved this past year. The first is the Dean’s Teaching Excellence Award, the purpose of which is to recognize an individual whose teaching has contributed significantly to our students and Faculty by creating a learning environment that focuses on excellence in teaching, learning and student engagement. The other award is a legacy of our Sport without Borders program in Kenya – the President’s Award for Mentoring International Leadership Excellence through Sport. This award is supported by the President of the U of M, our Faculty, the Canadian Swahili Institute, and the Kenyan Association of Manitoba for three renewal scholarships over a period of twelve years, beginning in 2011-12 to provide access to post-secondary education in physical education, recreation management, and kinesiology for Kenyan students who completed high school under sponsorship of the Terik Essential Programmes Agency for Development (TEPAD). Specific news on accomplishments and honours achieved by our graduate and undergraduate students, as well as program statistics, are contained in separate sections of this report.

Year in Review
Football
The Bisons football squad (2-6 Canada West regular season record) had their 2010 season end prior to the playoffs after battling a tough start to the season and welcoming a record number of newcomers onto the roster. Despite no post-season action this season, the Bisons were recognized when halfback Pete Adams was named to the 2010 Canada West Conference All-Star Team for his second consecutive season. Fifth-year running back Matt Henry ended his illustrious Bison career as the second leading rusher and second most touchdowns scored in the program’s history. Prior to the start of the 2010 season, the Bison football program’s impact could be seen as there were six former Bisons playing in the CFL during the 2010 campaign, while two former Bison coaches were on CFL sidelines. Former Bison star Israel “Izzy” Idonije put up NFL Pro Bowl numbers for the Chicago Bears this year. Defensive tackle Eddie Steele was also selected by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the third round (22nd overall). This was the second-highest Bison selection of a defensive lineman in the CFL Canadian Draft in over the last seven years. In the CFL Canadian Draft, the Manitoba Bisons have now accounted for the most university football players drafted during the last 11 years (2000-10) with 27. The Manitoba Bisons football team was awarded one of the five CIS football player awards for the 2010 season. Bison third-year linebacker Thomas Hall (shown, above left) was selected as the recipient of the
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 22
2010 CIS Football Russ Jackson Award. This is the second consecutive season that Hall has earned this prestigious national award, making him only the fourth player to win in back-to-back seasons. The Russ Jackson Award is presented to the CIS football player who best exemplifies the attributes of academic achievement, football skill and citizenship. It is named in honour of CFL Hall of Famer/Ottawa Rough Rider and McMaster University Quarterback, Russ Jackson.
Women’s Soccer
The women’s soccer team (1-9-4 record) had a transition season on and off the field. Off the field, the Manitoba Bisons women’s soccer program had a new head coach on the bench for the first time since the team entered the CIS in the Canada West conference starting in 2005. Outgoing Bison women’s soccer head coach Walt McKee stepped down from his coaching role due to medical reasons while Chris Lewis became the new interim head coach for the 2010 season. Lewis has an extensive background in soccer through his 20-plus years of experience as a soccer coach and educator. With the new stadium construction underway, the squad played all home games at Winnipeg Outdoor Soccer Complex (Waverley) for the 2010 season. On the field, there were a whopping eight rookies on the 2010 Bison women’s soccer roster with no fifth-year senior players on this year’s edition. Four of the team’s former Canada West All-Stars from the previous year graduated. After starting the season with a tie with Victoria, the young Manitoba squad was involved in three other ties, suffered five losses by only one goal, and produced one win. Bison Carrie Nash was named as a Canada West Second Team All-Star at the midfielder position. Nash was selected to a conference all-star team for the first time in her fourth season with Manitoba as she had a breakout season, becoming the leading scorer for the Bisons during the 2010 campaign. She was tied for tenth in Canada West, scoring seven points (four goals, three assists) and tying for fifth most conference assists at three. In the six year program’s history, Nash is now the sixth individual Manitoba Bisons women’s soccer player to be selected as a Canada West All-Star. One former Manitoba Bisons women’s soccer player was part of the Canadian National Women’s Soccer team, winner of the 2011 Cyprus Women’s Cup. The 12-team tournament ran from March 2-9, 2011. On Wednesday, March 9, 2011, Canada won the 2011 Cyprus Women’s Cup with a 2-1 (extra time) victory over Netherlands. Former Bison midfielder Desiree Scott played in the Finals as she was subbed into the match at the 82nd minute and played 38 total minutes in the championship final. Scott was also part of the Canadian National Women’s Soccer team, winner of the 2010 Cyprus Women’s Cup.
Women’s and Men’s Cross Country
The Bison cross country teams finished their 2010 season at University of Sherbrooke on November 13, 2010. The Manitoba Bisons main highlight was fifth-year veteran Paul Carr’s finish in the Top 10. Carr completed his five-year Bison career in style as he finished in tenth spot (fourth best in Canada West) with a time of 33:03 in the 10km race to earn a CIS Second Team All-Canadian and Canada West First Team All-Star recognition. The last time Manitoba had a CIS All-Canadian was in 2007 (Kristjan Hunter was a First Team with a second-place finish). The Bison men’s team placed eighth overall, an improvement of seven places from last season’s 15th place finish, while the Bison women’s team completed the race in 13th place overall. This was the best team finish by the Bison men’s cross country squad at a CIS National Championship since the 2007 season (sixth place finish).
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 23
The Bison men's squad also placed fourth in Canada West; after Carr, rookie Sam Vincent finished in 40th spot and earned a Canada West Second Team All-Star while running the Sherbrooke Country Club course in a time of 34:16. Second-year Calvary deJong ended up in 52nd with a run of 34:36; of the remaining Bisons, fifth-year Adam Penner finished 64th (35:02); third-year Elliott Cooke finished in 79th (35:33); fourth-year Colin Shepherd completed in 89th (35:55); and rookie Thomas Miller raced to a 93rd (36:02) finish out of 138 CIS runners. The women’s squad was also fifth in Canada West, and was led by fourth-year runner Melanie Gregoire, who finished in 33rd overall in the 5km race at the Sherbrooke Country Club course in a time of 19:34. Gregoire was 11th best in Canada West, which earned her Canada West Second Team All-Star for her second consecutive conference All-Star honour. Fourth-year Lacey Ginter was 51st overall in a time of 19:50 while of the remaining Bisons, second-year Sara Weselake finished 79th (20:24); third-year Alice Sherwin ended up 93rd (20:45); fourth-year Alex Bell completed the run in 96th (20:53); fourth-year Nicole Barrett was 103rd (21:09); and second-year Nicole Dubois ended up 114th (21:31) out of 128 CIS runners.
Women’s and Men’s Golf
The Bison golf teams competed in the three round, rain-shortened Golf Canada’s 2010 Canadian University/College Championship at Kingswood Park in Fredericton, N.B., in June. The Bisons men's golf team moved up into ninth in the team standing after a completed three round overall total of 901 (+37), and made the third-round cut by leapfrogging four teams into the Top 10. Individually for Manitoba in the third round, third-year Bobby Wiebe fired the lowest round by a Bison in this tournament with a 71 (-1) score after posting five birdies in the round. Fourth-year Jesse Skelton shot a 73 (+1) while second- year Burke Wiebe had a 76 (+4) score. First-year Ryan Pitzel and second-year Riley Unger both fired a 77 (+5). There were 100 men golfers who completed the third round. After the three rounds, the top Bison male golfer was Skelton, tied for 26th place with a +7 (73, 77, 73). Pitzel (75, 74, 77) and Bobby Wiebe (76, 79, 71) were tied for 39th with a +10 while Unger (73, 79, 77) and Burke Wiebe (76, 77, 76) ended at +13, good for a 49th-place tie. The Bisons women's golf team finished in a tie for sixth place in the team standing, registering an overall total of 1026 (+162) after posting identical three-round team scores of 342. They just missed the third round cut, as they were 11 shots back of fifth-place University of Alberta. Individually for the Bisons in the third round, third-year Sarah Stebeleski was 19th after an 84 (+12) third round score and 246 (+30) overall score. First-year Lindsay Stewart fired an 81 (+9) and ended in 22nd with an overall score of 251 (+35), while fifth-year Lauren Rousseau finished with a 87 (+15) and tied for 31st with an overall score of 261 (+45). Third-year Anne Thorimbert had a 93 (+21) in the third round and finished tied for 42nd place with a 272 (+56), while second-year Chelsea Hummelt posted a 90 (+18) and was 46th with a third round overall total of 275 (+59). There were 52 women’s golfers participating in the third round. In October 2010, the Bison women’s golf team ended a successful season by winning the St. Cloud State University Husky Classic for the second straight year. This was the fifth tournament title in the 10-year Bison women’s golf program’s history. Sarah Stebeleski, Bri-ann Tokariwski and Lindsay Stewart all had Top 10 finishes in the final tournament of 2010. Manitoba began the season by finishing the two-day Concorida Invitational tournament (played at the Wildflower GC in Detroit Lakes) with an outstanding team total of 323 and an overall second-place finish. Mindy Lichtman and Lindsay Stewart led the team with second- and fourth-place results. In the Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) Mustang Invite in Marshall, MN (a continuous 36-hole event, due to weather), the squad finished in ninth place, with first year player Bri-ann Tokariwski leading the team with 13th place finish.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 24
The Bison men’s golf team started the Fall 2010 season at the Augsburg College Fall Invitational at Majestic Oaks GC (Minneapolis, MN), fielding two teams that ended up tied for sixth and 11th, with Bobby Wiebe and Jeff Bassey the top Bisons in a tie for sixth. At the next event in the St. John's Fall Invitational, the Bisons had one team entered and was a strong third place among 21 schools, led by Riley Unger in a tie for seventh. In the St. Cloud State University Husky Classic, the squad finished fourth out of 14 schools and the depth showed as Nathan Wazney was tied for third and Ryan Cook was seventh in the two-day tourney. At the NDSU Erv Kaiser Invitational, Manitoba placed second and sixth with Unger in sixth place and three more Bison players in the top 10. Despite injury to a couple of key players, the team produced an eighth-place finish at the Wrigglesworth Blugold Collegiate Invitational and a ninth-place result in the Twin Cities Classic to complete the season.
Women’s Hockey
The Bison women's hockey team (2010-11 season: 16-5-3; playoffs: 4-3) made history in Alberta this season. For the first time in 14 years of women’s hockey, the Alberta Pandas were swept in the Canada West conference final at home. Manitoba secured their second ever conference title (2008- 09, 2010-11 season) by winning game one by a 2-0 margin on February 25, 2011, and a 2-1 victory in game two on February 26, 2011. Earlier in the 2010- 11 season, the Bisons swept the Pandas in Alberta – for the first ever weekend conference regular season sweep by an opponent in Alberta during the program’s 14-year history – by scores of 2-1 (OT) on November 26, 2010 and 5-4 (OT) win on November 27, 2010. The Herd was the number three seed at the 2011 CIS Women’s Hockey National Championships, held at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario from March 10-13, 2011. The Bison women’s team was ranked in the Top 10 since the start of the season, which is 17 consecutive weeks, and the lowest they were ranked is sixth all season. Overall, Manitoba has been ranked in the CIS Top 10 poll for the last 68 consecutive weeks, dating back to February 27, 2007. Throughout CIS Top 10 rankings, they have been ranked for exactly 100 weeks since the 2003-04 season. This was the fifth appearance in the last seven seasons in which the team has reached the CIS Nationals, as they won a bronze during the 2004-05, 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons. All appearances have occurred during the seven years of Bison women’s hockey head coach Jon Rempel’s tenure. The team qualified for the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season and defeated Calgary in two games in the Canada West Semi-Final at home. This was the fourth consecutive season in which the program hosted a Canada West playoff series. They also earned a berth into the Canada West Final for the seventh consecutive season. Manitoba capped their 2010/11 Canada West regular season with only 36 goals allowed (the lowest in team history since the inception of 24 conference regular season games in the 2006-07 season). The Bisons were second in the conference regular season standings for the fourth consecutive season. Over the last five Canada West regular seasons, Manitoba has 88 victories (an average of over 17 wins per season).
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 25
Heading into the CIS Championship, the Herd rattled off seven straight wins (4-0 in playoffs). This was the first time the Bisons have gone undefeated in the conference playoffs. Since the start of 2011, Manitoba has won 11 of their 14 games played (counting regular season and playoffs). Regarding the make-up of the 2010-11 team: six active (seven overall) players on the roster are rookies, plus six sophomores, two third-year, three fourth-year and five fifth-year players. Four (captain and forward Amy Coates, alternate captain and forward Beeca King, forward Tammy Brade, and defenceman Chelsea Braun) of the five players (alternate captain and defenceman Kacey Funk, shown at right, played four years at Manitoba) who are finishing their fifth-year eligibility have now been a part of four CIS championship appearances during their five-year careers. Manitoba has several leaders. Alternate captain Addie Miles has had an amazing season not only in the conference but also at the international level. The Winnipeg native was the team’s top scorer for the fourth consecutive season and was tied for tenth in the Canada West scoring with 19 points (nine goals, ten assists) despite missing four conference games in 2010-11 conference regular season. She missed because she played for Team Canada and won a gold medal at the 2011 Winter Universiade in Erzurum, Turkey in late January. The Winnipeg native finished with seven points (one goal and six assists) and a +13 rating during the seven games played in the Universiade. During her four-year career, Miles was a second team all-star in 2010- 11 and 2009-10, first team all-star in 2008-09 and Canada West Rookie of the Year and All-Rookie Team in the 2007-08 season. Caitlin MacDonald followed her stunning rookie campaign last season by earning her second consecutive conference selection in her sophomore season (second team in 2010-11 and first team in 2009-10). The Winnipeg native was the team’s top defenceman, fourth among Canada West defencemen and eighth on the Bison in scoring with ten points (3g, 7a) in 23 of 24 conference regular season games. Last season, MacDonald was 2009-10 CIS and Canada West Rookie of the Year, plus conference first team all- star. Tara Lacquette began her second season with the Bisons and earned the starting goaltender role while capturing her first conference all-star selection in the 2010-11 season. Lacquette played in 17 of 24 conference regular season games and was fourth in Canada West with a 1.66 Goals Against Average, fourth with three conference shutouts, tied for third in Canada West with nine wins and fifth in conference with .920 Save Percentage in the 2010-11 season. Rookie Meagan Vestby was the hero in both Canada West Final games by notching the game-winner and game-winner plus series-clincher in game two. Vestby has scored three goals in the playoffs so far and all are game-winners as she added the game-winner in overtime during game one of the 2011 Canada West Semi-Final versus Calgary on February 18, 2011. Backup goaltender Leiette Klassen had five shutouts in her rookie campaign and produced an amazing shutout streak at 358:45 (almost six full hockey games) from end of October 23, 2010 to the middle of February 2, 2011. Miles had a five-game goal streak from November 19, 2010-January 14, 2011 while Amy Lee (January 15, 2011-January 30, 2011) and Kayla Duna (October 29, 2010-November 13, 2010) had five-point streaks in conference regular season. Rookie Michelle Pawluk’s brother, rookie Wes Pawluk, played with the Manitoba Bisons men’s hockey team, making them the first brother-sister combo to both play on Bison hockey teams at the same time.

Men’s Hockey
The Manitoba Bisons men’s hockey team (2010-11 season: 13-9-6; playoffs: 0-2) did not accomplish their goal of back-to-back CIS Championship berths, despite a strong season in the 2010-11 campaign. The Herd lost two tough playoff games to eventual Canada West champion Alberta on the road in the conference semi-final best-of-three series. Manitoba was seeking their first playoff series win over Alberta for the first time in 40 years. Bison men’s hockey defenceman Jeremy Schappert was named to the 2010-11 CIS All-Rookie Team. Schappert earns his first season CIS recognition after being named Canada West Men’s Hockey Outstanding Freshman for the 2010-11 campaign. The 6’0, 195-lbs. blueliner had a strong rookie campaign with the Bison men’s hockey team. The Winnipeg native was fifth in the conference among defencemen – and eighth overall in rookie scoring – with 14 points (six goals and eight assists) while playing in all 28 conference regular season games. His six goals were tied for eighth, the most among CIS defencemen this season. Schappert was also named Canada West Men’s Hockey Outstanding Freshman for the 2010-11 campaign. In addition, goaltender Steve Christie, defenceman Dane Crowley, forward Blair Macaulay and Schappert were all selected as 2010-11 Canada West Second Team All-Stars. Schappert becomes the fourth member of the Bisons to earn conference freshman-of-the-year honors. He joins Manitoba goaltender Krister Toews (2004-05), Larry Dyck (1986-87) and forward Karry Biette (1994-95), who also won the University of Alberta Hockey Alumni Trophy, in receiving the award since it was first handed out in the 1978-79 season. Goaltender Steve Christie was named as a 2010-11 Canada West Second Team All-Star. This was the third time that Christie has been recognized with a conference all-star selection (2009-10: First Team All- Star; 2008-09: Second Team All-Star) during his five-year career at Manitoba. Christie started in 26 of 28 conference regular season games for the Bisons and was a leader in Canada West goaltender categories this season. At the end of the 2010-11 Canada West regular season, the Winnipeg native was tied for first in the conference with 13 victories, tied for second with two shutouts this season, third best conference average with 2.43 GAA and fourth best in the conference in Save Pct. at .909. The fifth-year netminder played the second most minutes in regular season with 1555 in Canada West this season, and backstopped the team to a fourth-place finish in the competitive Canada West conference. Defenceman Dane Crowley was in his first season with Manitoba and earned his first conference selection after being named a 2010-11 Canada West Second Team All-Star. Crowley was named alternate captain this season after being a red-shirt with Manitoba during the 2009-10 season. Crowley was just behind Schappert in defencemen scoring (tied for ninth in Canada West) with 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) in all 28 conference regular season games, plus he added one power play goal with 70 penalty minutes. Forward Blair Macaulay finished his second season with Manitoba and earned his first conference selection after being named a 2010-11 Canada West Second Team All-Star. Macaulay had a career year with the Bisons this season as he led the team and tied for third in Canada West scoring with 33 points (13 goals, 20 assists) in all 28 conference regular season games. He registered four power play goals, 103 shots on goal and 16 penalty minutes. The Winnipeg native also added a +14 plus/minus rating for the best mark with the Bisons and fifth highest plus/minus in Canada West. He was also the Canada West Hockey-WHL graduate of the month for January 2011. The team finished the first half of the 2010-11 season with a 7-3-4 conference record and second place in the tight Canada West standings. Manitoba has already defeated No. 1-ranked Alberta and No. 6-
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 27
ranked Saskatchewan while registering an eight-game unbeaten streak (five wins and three losses out of regulation time) from October 30, 2010-November 26, 2010 and earned 13 of a possible 18 points over the last five weekend series. Manitoba was ranked as high as No. 5 in the CIS Top 10 poll and was ranked in 12 of 18 polls this season. Bison men’s hockey fifth-year player Riley Dudar suffered a potential season-ending injury when he lacerated about half of his spleen during the first week of conference action at the start of October 2010. He was told not to compete in any contact sports for six months, and not to lift more than 10 pounds for six to eight weeks until the injury completely healed. Dudar defied the odds by returning to the ice to play with the team during the holiday’s games in Thunder Bay, and had a regular shift throughout the second half of the season. Steve Christie was signed to an amateur tryout contract on February 15, 2011, by the Toronto Marlies, the AHL (American Hockey League) affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Christie was dressed but did not see action behind Marlies’ starter Ben Scrivens for two games (February 15 and 16). Then on April 11, 2011, the Manitoba Moose, AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks, announced they had signed Christie to an amateur tryout contract.
Women’s Volleyball
The Bison women’s volleyball team (2010-11 season: 10-8; playoffs: 2-2) won the Canada West Quarter Final best-of-three series on the road in Brandon on Feb. 18-19 by sweeping in two convincing games. Their road ended at the 2011 Canada West Final Four when they lost to eventual CIS champion UBC and Alberta and did not earn a conference berth to the CIS Championship being held at the University of Laval from March 4-6. Bison Ashley Voth was named as 2010-11 CIS First Team All-Canadian. This is the third time in her five- year career (she was CIS First Team All-Canadian in 2007-08 and 2009-10) at Manitoba that she has earned this CIS recognition. Along with Voth, left side Rachel Cockrell was named to the 2010-11 CIS All- Rookie Team. Voth (shown at right, in white) completed her fifth and final varsity year with the Bisons, having earlier received the 2010-11 Canada West First Team All-Star. The Winnipeg native finishes with three CIS All- Canadian selections plus being named 2006-07 CIS and Canada West Rookie of the Year. This season, Voth was first in CIS and Canada West in hitting percentage at .403 and tied for fifth in conference (18th in CIS) in blocks per game (1.0) in 2010-11. Voth started and played in all 18 conference regular season matches and added 163 kills with 96 digs, 70 overall blocks and 18 service aces. She played in several different (including middle) positions this season, as there were changes in the lineup. Cockrell had a strong rookie campaign with Manitoba in 2010-11. The Winnipeg native started most of the 18 conference regular season games and played in 68 sets out of 70 sets this season. On a veteran- heavy team, she was fifth in kills (127), fourth in service aces (16), fifth in digs (119) and third in total blocks (37), and was a power hitting from either side during the season.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 28
In addition to right side/middle hitter Voth being named as 2010-11 Canada West First Team All-Star, setter Sam Loewen and middle hitter Tricia Mayba were selected as 2010-11 Canada West Second Team All-Stars. This is the fourth conference all-star honour for Voth, the third consecutive season for Loewen, and the first conference all-star selection for Mayba. Mayba continued her strong season with Manitoba after playing with the national team prior to start of the 201-11 campaign. She earned her first conference all-star recognition after being fourth in Canada West and 10th in CIS in hitting percentage with .292, third in conference (fourth in CIS) in blocks per game at 1.23, and ninth in conference in points per game (3.51). The Winnipeg native started and played in 17 out of 18 conference regular season matches this season. With the new CIS women’s volleyball rankings released for November 16, 2010, the Manitoba Bisons vaulted from third to the number one spot in the nation, marking the first time they have been at the top of the CIS rankings since the end of the 2007-08 season (February 19, 2008). The team was ranked in all 13 consecutive weeks in the CIS Top 10 poll in the 2010-11 season. In conference regular season action, the team defeated four CIS ranked teams this season. Prior to the beginning of the 2010-11 season, the Manitoba Bisons women’s volleyball team knew they would be shorthanded: starting libero Nicole Hall would not be in the lineup, having suffered a season- ending injury at the end of the 2009-10 season in the gold medal match at the 2010 CIS National Championship versus UBC on March 7, 2010. In that final match of last season, Hall suffered a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in her knee in the third set of the four-set match, and had to start the long road to recovery in the off-season. The Winning native had ACL surgery at the end of June and began the long process of rehab. Hall began practicing with the team around mid-November 2010 at almost ‘full out’ intensity and continued to do extra practices while preparing to get back into game action by the end of December. The third-year libero saw her first conference action, only six months after the ACL surgery, at Saskatchewan on January 14-15, 2011, and registered 36 digs while starting all eight sets for the Bisons. Three Manitoba Bisons women’s volleyball players were among the 48 athletes selected to attend the 2011 Women’s Volleyball National Team Selection Camp. The camp will run from May 16-20, 2011 at the U of M’s Investors Group Athletic Centre (IGAC). On the left side, fourth-year Bison Kristi Hunter will compete against 16 other left side participants, while fifth-year Bisons Amy Toews and fourth-year Tricia Mayba will compete at the middle position versus 13 other athletes. Former Bison Tammy Mahon was also selected at the left side position. In addition, Manitoba head coach Ken Bentley completed his 25th season in the Bison women’s volleyball program during the 2010-11 season.
Men’s Volleyball
The Bison men’s volleyball team (2010-11 season: 11-7; playoffs: 1-2) had a successful 2010-11 season, as they finished fourth in conference standings and hosted a playoff series. For the Bisons, this is the second consecutive season in the post-season and the last time they hosted a playoff round was in the 2005-06 season, when they also last advanced to the Final Four. In the 2011 Canada West Quarter Final best-of-three playoff series, the Herd fell just short as they lost a tough three-match series with a four-set loss in game three and did not qualify for the 2011 CIS Men’s Volleyball National Championship in Langley, B.C.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 29
The team was ranked in all 13 consecutive weeks and finished as high as five spot in the CIS Top 10 poll in the 2010-11 season. In conference regular season action, the team defeated two CIS ranked teams this season. Bison men’s volleyball setter Chris Komishon was named to 2010-11 CIS All-Rookie Team. Komishon earns his first season CIS recognition after being named Canada West Rookie of the Year in the 2010- 11 season. In his first year at Manitoba, Komishon played the setter position and he was sixth in conference (15th in CIS) with 8.52 assists/per game, and fifth in Canada West (ninth in CIS) in total assists with 571. The Winnipeg native started and played in all 18 conference regular season games and added 28 kills with 106 digs, 40 overall blocks and 11 service aces. In addition to Komishon being named Canada West Men’s Volleyball Rookie of the Year, left side Chris Voth was selected as 2010-11 Canada West Second Team All-Star. Komishon becomes the third Bison to win the conference rookie award (Chris Voth, 2008-09; Toon van Lankvelt, 2002-03). Chris Voth earned the first conference all-star selection of his three-year Manitoba career after being named as 2008-09 CIS and Canada West Rookie of the Year. Voth was tenth in Canada West with 3.12 kills per game (67 games/209 kills), sixth in service aces with 0.22 per game (67gp/15 aces) and tenth in conference points at 3.69 per game (67gp/247 points). The Winnipeg native started and played in all 18 conference regular season games and added 111 digs, 38 overall blocks and 17 assists. In his 30th season with the program, head coach Garth Pischke molded a spectacular beginning to the 2010-11 season with a fantastic 9-1 conference record (good for second in Canada West) and the team’s No. 6 ranking in the latest CIS poll at the holiday break. There were only five of 13 players returning from last season and the core was built on the young leaders of Chris Voth, Ryan Munt and Dane Pischke. The Bisons remain a young but experienced squad, as there are no fifth years and only one fourth-year player along with six first-year rookies for the Bisons.
Women’s Basketball
The Bison women’s basketball team (2010-11: 8-16 regular season) battled to the end of the conference season and were two games short of a playoff spot when they finished tenth in the conference post- season system this season. The team won five games in the second half of the season to make a final push for the playoffs, and defeated top conference seed Alberta during the season. In the 2010-11 Canada West season, Kayla Klassen led the team and tied for 12th in Canada West scoring with 13.0 points per game, tenth in Canada West with 37.0 in 3-point FG Pct., and tied for third in 3-points made at 2.3 per game and first in conference minutes played at 33.6. Mubo Ilelaboye was fourth in free throw percentage at 79.5%. In conference regular season 2010-11 stats, Manitoba is tenth in team scoring at 61.6 points per game and 11th in team defence at 68.6 points per game (a point improvement of nine points from last season).

During this weekend tourney, 50% of gate proceeds were put towards breast cancer research and finding a cure, plus there were special limited edition pink T-shirts sold at Investors Group Athletic Centre for $10 each. The team has also set up a Facebook page with more info. The Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame announced the names of the individuals and teams who will be making up the Class of '11. Those making up the latest induction class include, from the Players category, Manitoba Bisons Terri-Lee Johannesson and Marjorie Kelly; the University of Manitoba Bisons Men (Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Association champions in 1955, 1956, and 1957) and the University of Manitoba Bisons Women (CIS National Champions in 1995-96 and 1996-97) will be inducted into the Team category. The official induction will take place later this fall on October 1, 2011.
Men’s Basketball
The Bison men’s basketball team (2010-11: 9-15 regular season; playoffs: 0-2) had a growth in the second year under the helm of Bison head coach Kirby Schepp. In the 2010-11 season, Manitoba finished eighth in Canada West standings and earned a playoff spot for the first time since the 2003-04 season. The team tied the Bison mark for most conference regular season wins in a season in the last decade with nine (9-13 record in 2000-01 season). This was the first time captain and guard Eric Garcia played in the Canada West playoffs since high school, as he spent his whole five-year varsity university career at Manitoba. The team improved by five wins from a 4-16 record in the 2009-10 season. In Canada West final 2010-11 regular season stats, the Bisons were fifth in scoring at 82.3 points per game, second in 3-point made (9.5), second in turnover ratio (+3.42), third in steals (10.0), fourth in offensive rebounds (13.6), tied for fifth in assist/turnover ratio (1.0), sixth in assists (15.0), and sixth in blocked shots (2.8).

Kevin Oliver is third and Garcia is fifth in steals at 2.2 and 1.9 per game, Maxwell is third in 3- points made at 3.0, and Richard Reimer is tied for fourth in blocked shots at 1.0, while Garcia is sixth in assist/turnover ratio at 1.6. Reimer is also tied for fifth in offensive rebounds at 3.2 The team had six rookies out of the 13-person roster in this year’s Bison squad. Manitoba surprised many as they were ranked in the pre-season poll at No. 11 out of 13 teams in the Canada West to begin the 2010-11 conference season, but impressed with a strong 3-0 conference start. Since the merger of the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) in basketball occurred in the 2001-02 season, this was the first 3-0 start by Manitoba men’s basketball in Canada West play. The Bisons had not won three straight games at any time in Canada West since the 2007-08 season. With a 7-3 conference record at the holiday break, the Bisons were tied for third in the Canada West standings. Since the merger of the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) in basketball occurred in the
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 31
2001-02 season, this is the fastest start to seven wins by the Manitoba men’s basketball in Canada West play. Over the previous nine seasons, the men’s basketball program had not even earned five victories prior to the completion of the first half of a season. In addition, Schepp was an assistant coach to inaugural Team Canada Cadet National Basketball Under- 17 Team Coaching Staff for the 2010 FIBA U17 World Championship in July 2010. Canada went 5-3 in the Championship and beat Lithuania for the bronze medal.

In team standings, the Bison men’s team finished 15th overall with 44 points (an improvement of 18 points from last season’s CIS Nationals) while the Bison women’s team ended up in 18th spot with 19 points (they did not field a full team last season at the CIS Nationals).

During the second day of the two day conference meet, Manitoba earned five more medals and led individually with fourth-year Zacharie Durand winning a silver in the men’s 600m in a time of 1:19.98. Durand was also part of the bronze medal 4x400 men’s relay team. In addition, the women’s 4x400m and men’s 4x200m relay team earned bronze plus rookie Sam Vincent had a bronze medal performance in the men’s 1500m in a time of 3:57.20. During the first day, Manitoba earned three medals and was led by the gold medal performance of third-year Kieran Moolchan in the 60m hurdles in a time of 8.54, and followed by rookie Wilfred Samking, who came in second in the same event with a time of 8.71. Both Moolchan and Samking earned automatic qualification into CIS Championship in mid-March. The men’s 4x800m relay also earned a bronze medal with a third in a time of 7:43.42. Individually, there was one Bison (Kieran Moolchan) who earned 2010-11 Canada West First Team All- Star recognition, while Zacharie Durand and Wilfred Samking were named 2010-11 Canada West Second Team All-Stars. Zacharie Durand, Joel VanKoughnet, Dylan Ostberg and Jamie McMaster were earned CIS Second Team All-Canadian status. Claude Berube served as Assistant Coach of Team Canada Track & Field – NACAC U23 Championships in the summer of 2010.
Bison Alumni
In January 2011, it was announced that three community-minded NFL players would be recognized during Super Bowl week as finalists for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Nnamdi Asomugha of the Oakland Raiders, Madieu Williams of the Minnesota Vikings, and Israel Idonije of the Chicago Bears
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 34
were the top candidates for this year's award, named for the legendary Chicago Bears running back who died in 1999. Idonije is a former Manitoba Bisons football player from 1999-02. Now in his seventh season with the Chicago Bears, Idonije is a dominant force on and off the field. As a vital member of the Bears defensive line, Idonije was tied for the team lead in sacks and forced fumbles, tied for second in QB pressures and second in tackles. Idonije exhibits the same leadership, tenacity and determination off the field through his work with the Israel Idonije Foundation (IIF), which he created in 2007. He is present and personally involved in all activities associated with the Foundation and has contributed more than $300,000, along with other in-kind contributions. Idonije's First Down Attendance Program currently serves more than 600 economically disadvantaged students in five schools in Chicago and Manitoba. The program is designed to encourage and sustain students' regular school attendance, high achievement and good citizenship, through motivation and rewards. Participating schools have increased students’ regular attendance by at least 8%. Idonije’s Foundation, through its C.A.R.E. Africa program (Caring, Advancing, Restoring and Educating), extends to the international front by promoting education, self-preservation, humanitarianism, leadership and awareness. Idonije is a two-time NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee and was the Bears spokesman for the United Way LIVE UNITED campaign in 2009 and 2010. The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award is the only league award that recognizes a player's off- the-field community service as well as his playing excellence.
Webcasting/Twitter
Bison Sports continued to offer webcasting for live Bison events during the 2010-2011 Bison basketball and volleyball conference games. Webcasting was done for Bison volleyball playoffs. Campus Radio 101.5 UMFM has been the home of all Bison Football live radio broadcasts for the last 11 consecutive seasons, and aired live Bison hockey games (four conference games each for women and men plus women’s hockey playoffs) in the 2010-11 season. Bison Sports continued to host Facebook and Twitter accounts to increase access to and awarenessof programs throughout the season. In addition, athlete blogs from all sports are displayed on the Bison Sports website throughout the season.
Duckworth Challenge/Bison Pride
The 20th annual Duckworth Challenge, pitting the University of Manitoba against the University of Winnipeg Wesmen in volleyball and basketball varsity competition, was captured by Manitoba in a 3-1 victory on December 2-3, 2010. Manitoba has now won the Duckworth Challenge in back-to-back seasons and improves the Bisons record to 10-5-5 in the 20-year traditional event. To mark the 20th anniversary, both universities held special ceremonies to honour the previous Duckworth Challenge Player of the Game basketball and volleyball recipients. In a quirky Duckworth Challenge stat, the Bison women’s and men’s volleyball team now hold an identical 15-5 winning record over the Wesmen. At the end of 2010, second-year women’s hockey player Caitlin MacDonald and fifth-year men’s hockey player Steve Christie earned recognition as nominees for 2010 Manitoba Athletes of the Year. Manitoba Bisons Women’s Volleyball has been nominated for Manitoba’s Team of the Year.

ACTIVE LIVING
Mr. Gary Thompson, Director, Active Living
The Active Living area is comprised of Bison Recreation Services, Bison Children’s Programs and Bison Facilities.
Facility Development
This has been a very busy year for facility development initiatives. With the imminent arrival of the Bomber/Bison Stadium (2012) and The Active Living Centre (2014), there has been considerable energy and time devoted to developing the program and design for these spaces. Staff and users have been engaged in many sessions to ensure that the final product meets the multitude of needs that are represented at the University of Manitoba and in the community it serves. The following projects are included in the Active Living Centre Project:
• Active Living Centre (100,000 sq. ft.): construction scheduled to begin in April 2012 with an April 2014 opening • Two artificial turf fields: scheduled to open in August/September 2011 • Frank Kennedy Centre Locker Room Renovation: completion prior to April 2012 • Accessibility enhancements to the Joyce Fromson Pool: completion prior to April 2012 • Tunnel between Architecture and Extended Education: scheduled to start construction in Sept. 2011 with an April 2012 completion • Replacement of six outdoor tennis courts: scheduled to be completed for Spring 2012 • New Throws area (discuss, shot put, etc.) completed The Recreation Infrastructure Canada (RInC) Project (see Simon Wang’s Facilities report) has begun and will be completed in March 2011. This project will allow us to better serve our customers and to reach out to some of those customers who are typically inactive (in particular, women and cultural groups). This project includes the creation of a changing space that will be gender-neutral.
Facility Priorities: there has been careful analysis of how the facilities are used, as well as by whom they’re used and how often. Attention has been given to trying to align our Faculty mission with our priorities for use. As a result we have been able to expand our Intramural Program, run a pilot project for Bison Junior Volleyball, and continue to offer more recreation space to U of M students. This analysis will continue as we align strategic priorities with space availability.
Professional Development
In April 2011, Active Living Staff attended the National Intramural Recreation Sport Association Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 37
Strategic Planning
The focus over the last year has been on Bison Children’s Programs, which is well positioned as a leader in children’s programs in secondary institutions in North America. Our current challenge is to enhance the relevance of Children’s Programs to the Faculty and to the University of Manitoba.
Children’s Programs Mission Statement Children’s Programs: o Develops educated leaders in children/youth physical activity. o Provides excellent, inclusive recreation/sport and educational experiences to young people. o Promotes FKRM and the University of Manitoba as destinations for post-secondary education. o Contributes to the creation and dissemination of physical activity knowledge.
• Children’s Programs Vision o To be recognized locally and nationally as a leader in providing evidence-based programs while actively collaborating in the creation and dissemination of physical activity knowledge. o Children’s Programs develops excellent, innovative leaders and provides stimulating, quality programs for children/youth that reflect the values of inclusiveness, fair play and healthy development. Within this framework we will now assess programs, services, resources and operations as we move forward and continue to enhance the relevance of Children’s Programs to the University of Manitoba. The Recreation Services Team is currently undergoing a strategic planning exercise while the entire Active Living area will approach a strategic planning process in the fall of 2011.
Fund Development
The Active Living Fund was established last year as part of the Campus as a Community Initiative. This fund is designed to be used for Active Living initiatives (programs, equipment, facility development). Thank you to all of the donors for your generosity! This fall, we will launch the Capital Campaign for the Active Living Project with a target of $12.5 million.
Active Living and Research
Twenty-one representatives from the Active Living area met with researchers from the Faculty to begin to explore collaborative relationships for applied research and/or bringing service learning into the classroom. There were lots of “natural fits” sitting around the table together and it is hoped that a bridge has been built for people to pursue collaborations.
Appreciation
A heartfelt thank you goes out to all of the Active Living staff, who have been absolutely phenomenal (as is usual, but in particular over the last year). Each of you have continued to excel at your work even as you have lost spaces, and have spent a great deal of time planning new spaces and even more time designing and delivering programs as these new spaces become available. Your patience, expertise, wisdom, vision and sense of humor have been what has gotten us all this far. Thank you for going above and beyond in this process. Congratulations and great work! Your legacy will be felt for decades!

BISON MEMBERSHIP SERVICES
Ms. Mandy Johnson, Director of Membership Services
Membership Services Team
As there were some changes to the staffing of the Membership Services Team in 2010-11, I have included an updated organization structure below:
Director of Membership Services
Coordinator of Coordinator of Fitness Customer Service Membership Membership & Testing & Supervisor Coordinator Customer Service, Joe Conditioning Doupe
Customer Service Full-Time CSRs / Part- Casual Student CSRs Exercise Physiologist Evening Coordinator Time CSRs
Casual Student CSRs Fitness Attendants
Personal Trainers / Fitness Testers
Some changes of note to the Membership Services (MS) area full-time staff complement: • Jared Ladobruk joined the team as the Membership Services Coordinator. • Michelle Hiebert vacated her role as a Fitness Attendant to join the Customer Service Team as a full-time Customer Service Representative (CSR). • Chris Dalton joined the Customer Service Team as a full-time CSR. • Charwin Dahl joined the Customer Service Team as a full-time CSR. • Oreleen Langlois joined the Customer Service Team as a full-time CSR. • Kaylee Roteliuk temporarily vacated her position as a full-time CSR to accept a position with Children’s Programs. • Brittany McMullen resigned her position as a full-time CSR. • Aubrie Schettler temporarily vacated her position as a full-time CSR to accept the Customer Service Evening Coordinator position. • Marcus Morrisey resigned his position as a full-time CSR.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 39
• Mark Firth’s position as a full-time CSR ended. • Chrissy Phillips resigned her position as a full-time CSR to accept the IGAC Building Coordinator position. • Christine Majury resigned her position as a full-time CSR to accept the Membership and Customer Service Coordinator, Joe Doupe Centre position. • The Director of Membership services position was vacant for five months as Mandy Johnson was on medical leave.
As you can see, for various reasons (vacancy management being one of note) there has been an ongoing turnover of full-time staff in this area in addition to the normal turnover of casual and part- time student staff that MS employs as CSRs and Fitness Attendants (FA). It should also be mentioned here that during the ongoing vacancy management, the student CSRs were called upon to fill in and replace what would normally be full-time, permanent positions. The staff that took on this extra responsibility should be commended and congratulated, along with those who supervised them. Although this was a very challenging time for all involved, we would not have been able to keep our doors open and our Customer Service Team running without the dedication of these individuals. Ironically enough, as our ability to adequately staff our Customer Service team was limited by vacancy management, the demands on our Customer Service area continued (and still continue) to increase. People and resources in this area continue to be stretched beyond capacity. Further, as we move toward a time of less strict vacancy management and look forward to having a complete Customer Service Team, we are still feeling the effects and aftermath of this struggle on a daily basis. One of the highlights for staff in the Membership Services Area has been the opportunity to have an active role in the design process for the new Active Living Centre. It is very exciting to know that our influence will be a part of such an important landmark at the University of Manitoba. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to be involved and I would like to commend all of the Membership Services staff for their hard work and dedication to the design of this project. They have definitely gone above and beyond the call of duty to research, prepare and share information related to this project and to collaborate with the design team on and off campus.
Membership
A total of 15,223 memberships were sold in 2010-11, for approximate revenue of $1.84 million. During this same period, we had a total of 11,188 memberships that were active at some point during this period. Our average renewal rate for 2010-11 was 59%. These numbers are reflective of both Fort Garry and Bannatyne Campuses. Membership prices were increased effective August 1, 2010 by 5% and are set to increase by another 5% on August 1, 2011. This will amount to a total increase of 15% over the last three years. Pushback from members with continued increases to price will likely be felt again this year. (See graphic on next page.)

Year Price Increase Memberships Sold Active Members 2009-2010 5% 18,327 16,253 2010-2011 5% 15,223 11,188 2011-2012 5% -- --
The addition of the Circuit Training and Cycling Studios on the third floor of Frank Kennedy provides us with the ability to offer more services and fitness classes to our members. At this time, there is still an opportunity for us to explore how we can better utilize these spaces to serve our membership and sub- groups of our membership. A proposal was put forth in March 2010 to the Space Committee by Jared Ladorbruk, Membership Coordinator, aimed at revising the standards for Rec Use bookings in our facilities. The Space Committee has not reviewed this proposal to date. A membership survey was sent out in 2011 and approximately 900 members responded to our questions. This information will prove invaluable as we look forward to meeting the needs of our current and future members well into the future. A review of membership and access was conducted by Gary Thompson, Director of Active Living, Jared Ladobruk and myself. Feedback on membership and access-related issues was invited from the entire faculty. This feedback was compiled and the issues were identified. The report indicated the follow-up and recommendations made as a result of this process. The report was presented to Faculty Executive, endorsed, and is expected to go forward to Faculty Council in Fall 2011.
Member Services
A total of 5,025 locker rentals were sold in 2010-11 for approximate revenue of $176,000. Our average locker renewal rate is approximately 55%. These numbers include both Fort Garry and Bannatyne Campuses. It should be noted that continued issues with our current Class software system have limited our ability to maintain quality of service with locker rentals and, as such, we were hesitant to do any significant marketing or promotions in this area and continue with the goal of simply maintaining status quo. A total of 263 towel service rentals were sold in 2010-11, for approximate revenue of $11,800. Our average towel service renewal rate is 48%.
Customer Service
Again this year, vacancy management continued to create and perpetuate some significant challenges to our ability to provide quality customer service to the nearly 2.6 million visits per year to our facilities on the Fort Garry Campus. Our staff complement of front-line CSRs should normally be 7.5 FTE permanent staff and at time this year has been at 2 FTE permanent staff. Again this year, a number of student and temporary staff have stepped up to fill vacant shifts so that we can maintain operations. Given that our facilities are open from 6:30 a.m. until 1:00 a.m. on most days and are open seven days per week, staffing shortages, high turnover, a lack of permanent positions and the ability to post these positions in
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 41
a timely fashion, make it very difficult to provide a basic level of service to all the customers in the various areas that we serve (including: students and members, adult program participants, children’s programs participants, facility rentals, special events, leagues, Bison/CSCM/TCVB athletes, University of Manitoba examinations, not to mention the various visitors and inquiries). This leaves the burden of making staffing ends meet with the remaining staff and this becomes very challenging, especially as it continues over time. I feel like a bit of a broken record in writing this section of this report as it reads very much the same as last year’s. However, the challenges faced last year still remain in this area. I would like to express my extreme gratitude and appreciation for all staff who have contributed to pulling through these difficult times and who have remained steadfast and determined to see things through. I cannot commend or thank them enough. The Evening Coordinator position was added as a project position to the Customer Service Team. Aubrie Schettler accepted the position in early 2011 and has shown great leadership of the student CSRs and the CS Team in general. The addition of this position is a large part of the reason our Customer Service Team has been able to continue functioning, despite staffing shortages.
Joe Doupe Centre
Christine Majury accepted the permanent position of Membership and Customer Service Coordinator, Joe Doupe in early 2011. We are very grateful and excited to have Christine’s wealth of knowledge and experience in a permanent role at the Joe Doupe Centre (JDC). Bannatyne Campus orientations and Sneakers in Motion Day continue to be hosted and put on by our Bison Recreation Services staff at JDC.
Fitness Testing and Conditioning
BRS Fitness Consultants continue to provide Foundations testing for hundreds of FKRM students enrolled in our faculty’s foundations class. We continue to pursue the positions outlined in the Career Proposal developed by Jen Bryant. A cancelled search was held earlier this year for these positions. Since then, further revisions have been made to the position(s) and once complete, the positions will be reposted. We were fortunate to have a placement student work with us in this area. Dave Kent spent much of the year with us, and has since developed a collaborative partnership between BRS and the University of Alberta as he facilitates an exercise component of a research project involving colon cancer survivors. Study participants will work with Dave here in our facilities, and are currently being screened by CancerCare Manitoba for study eligibility.
Marketing
The Marketing Coordinator, reporting to the Director of Active Living, continues to provide BRS with marketing opportunities and strategies for its programs and services. In addition to this, Kerri Gregoire
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 42
works in conjunction with our vendors to develop and produce both our Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter communication pieces. As we delve deeper into social media and electronic communication with our customers, Kerri has connected us with experts in this field who have provided training and services to help us meet our needs in this area.
Summary
Overall, consistent staffing remains our biggest challenge in serving students, members, our customers and the faculty. However, we continue to maintain a standard of service that meets the basic needs of these loyal members and customers. Despite these challenges, or perhaps in spite of them, we continue to look forward toward the vision of the new Active Living Centre and all of the opportunities to inspire the university and community that this new facility will bring.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 43
BISON RECREATION SERVICES
Ms. Tanya Angus, Director, Recreation Programs
Two years after the re-organization of Bison Recreation Services, I am happy to say that the glitches have been solved and many opportunities continue to present themselves. The Bison Recreation Services Team is working well together and has a created a positive culture and working environment. Serving over 33,000 participants (up by 3,000 participants from last year) within the programming area, the four Coordinators and Director are kept very busy.
Staffing
Over the past year, Amanda Gill left her position as Coordinator of Adult Wellness & Leagues in September and Emily George joined our team in January. At Joe Doupe, Kerri Chase completed a year- long term as the Recreation Coordinator position in January 2011, and was the successful candidate for the continuing position that commenced shortly after. Kyla Ray has continued to be the Coordinator of Intramurals, Clubs and Special Events and Ulla Liljegren has continued as the Coordinator of Fitness & Lifestyles. We were also fortunate to have three of our Faculty’s Fieldwork students -- Gillian Chitty, Caolan Berg, and Brianne Hebert – in the Program Area from September to December 2010. Unfortunately the Graduate Assistantship program did not run this past year within our Faculty, therefore we did not have a graduate student this past year. Also in April 2011, Alyssa Peters joined us from Winnipeg Technical College as a Field Work student that assisted with six weeks of administration work for Bison Recreation Services. Ulla Liljegren received the annual Bison Recreation Services Impact Award at the Bison Recreation Services Staff Appreciation Banquet in February 2011. Well done Ulla!
Administration
From an administrative perspective we have had many highlights, which are listed below in point form. • Developed a consistent staff access policy for programs for full-time and part-time staff that is consistent within the Active Living area. • Implemented several risk management initiatives from Ian MacGregor’s Risk Management report within our Intramural and Club programs. • Continued to develop Cross-Campus partnerships with several faculties and departments including English Language Centre/International Centre for Students (e.g., World Cup Soccer Special Event) and Student Affairs for the Student 101 Publications. • Began looking at all the data we collect, and planned programs and pricing based on the findings. This included a thorough program evaluation analysis (e.g., how did you hear about us?, etc.), participant analysis (e.g., tell us more about you – to determine the status of our participants, etc.)
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 44
and competitor price comparison analysis (which shows that we are at capacity for most of our programs’ prices). This information will be gathered and reviewed on a bi-annual basis for more accurate planning. So far we were pleasantly surprised that most of the program participants for the adult wellness area are students, with more staff participating in our specialty fitness programs. This information is very helpful in terms of marketing to these specific populations. • The planning analysis showed we needed to be more consistent, and that our Fall 2 and Winter 2 sessions were very poorly attended. To overcome this, we began modifying all program sessions towards consistent weeks (e.g., 10-week spring programs, 8-week summer programs, 12-week fall and winter programs). This analysis and follow through proved to be very successful with increase revenues in our Adult Wellness and Specialty Fitness areas, and less cancelled classes. • Pandemic Flu Planning prompted staff to have one on-line access point to all instructors, particularly for staff backups and sharing of instructors amongst staff. • Developed a consistent Program Task Timeline for all program Coordinators so that our marketing strategies will be consistent, and will occur at prescribed times before new sessions. This also prompted confirmation of all instructors in advance of brochure release, which allows Coordinators to have more control over upcoming sessions, with less last minute planning. • Developed a consistent format for policies and procedures (located on the shared folder for all full- time staff to access). • Developed a Staff Instructor Manual (draft format) for consistent training of staff. • Implemented two annual program team meetings with Children’s Program for effective planning and consistent transitions from their programs into Bison Recreation Services programs. • Participated in several campus orientations, including the Access program, International Centre for Students, U1, UMSU, Bannatyne, Housing & Student Life, Parents Program, and Info Days. • Staff participated in many RInC and Active Living Centre meetings and planning. Customers and staff were very happy with the new spaces within Frank Kennedy including the new Wellness, Cycle and Circuit Training Studios. • Participated in many faculty class presentations such as Colleen Plumton’s Program Planning class and Kyle Turcotte’s Foundations class. • Introduced a First Week Promotion at both campuses that significantly increased the number of participants and revenue of our Adult Wellness and Specialty Fitness programs. • Attended the Faculty Career Night and Fieldwork Student Recruitment. Developed a consistent Bison Recreation Services Casual Student Employment Opportunity hand-out, and consistent position descriptions to recruit students for fieldwork, employment and volunteer opportunities. • Staff Professional Development opportunities included the National Intramural Recreation Sports Association (NIRSA), Manitoba Fitness Council (MFC) Continuing Credits, and Lunch & Learns. These opportunities provide excellent networking, idea sharing, and motivation for staff to try new things.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 45
• Finished the final report and spending for the New Horizon’s Grant for seniors that allowed us to spend $10,000 on new equipment for our senior programs. • Once again secured the Pepsi sponsorship valued at $9,000 for the Intramural programs. • Created a new resource for first-year fall students with funds from previous intramural pocket schedules. This new resource helps inform new students of all the opportunities within Bison Recreation Services without requiring a full brochure. • Began to use our registration software system more effectively by communicating to our participants in advance of the programs through an Information Letter to enhance the participant’s experience. Information in the letter includes program start/end dates, list of items to bring to the program, parking information, any cancelled class notices and reminders that all program participants need valid photo ID before entering our program facilities. The Customer Service Team is also working hard at verifying participants’ photo ID with the program class lists to ensure only registered program participants are entering into programs and that PAR Q’s (health information) have been signed. • Coordinators met to examine our current activity and program levels in our software system for accuracy, updated course descriptions using Learning Reconsidered terminology, included all course instructors’ names/supervisors in the software system, and double- checked alert/confirmation texts for better information for our customers. We’re also working towards e-mailing participant receipts versus mailing paper receipts to be more cost efficient. • With the Director of Membership Services, we are fine tuning Bison Recreation Services core values and mission statement. Core value statements are close to being complete with further discussion required on our mission. • The main focus for the Program Team this past year has been quality. Coordinators are asked to walk through the facilities at least once per week, to check our website at least once per week, and to follow up with all program participants each term to enhance the overall quality of our programs. With increased participant numbers and revenue, we feel that this has been successful so far and we will continue to focus on quality.
Intramurals, Club and Special Events (Kyla Ray, Coordinator of Intramurals and Clubs)
Intramurals
The quality of the experience for University of Manitoba students has been enhanced significantly over the past two years in part by the re-organization of Bison Recreation Services (e.g., a Coordinator designated to Intramurals and Clubs without responsibilities of Adult Wellness and Leagues), consistent policies and procedures, and by providing two-day training for the Intramural Supervisors. The six Intramural Supervisors successfully oversaw their sports and made sure the program ran smoothly while individually learning a lot.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 46
The lottery registration system was once again implemented to avoid long line ups and enhanced customer service. In comparison to last year, intramural numbers have increased by close to 200 students and several students were wait-listed because of lack of facility space. New this season, Inner Tube Water Polo and Climbing were added to the list of activities. The season ended with the fourth Annual Intramural Wrap Up Event at Degrees on April 7, 2011, drawing the best turn out yet with 140 participants. With assistance from the Faculty of Kinesiology & Recreation Management’s fieldwork program, we were fortunate to secure a student that was able to use their education in a practical environment by planning this event. Two scholarships were handed out to intramural participants: the Intramural Supervisor of the Year and Intramural Fair Play Participant, both awarded $175 gift certificates for the Bookstore, while awards for MVP (Most Versatile Player) were handed out to the male and female who participated in the most intramural programs within the year. The MVPs each received a University of Manitoba backpack and gift certificate for the Bookstore. A breakdown of participant numbers is listed below by season and sport.

The Club program is the largest it has ever been with eight programs and 551 participants, up by 200 participants this year. We are looking at two new Clubs to be introduced next year – Rugby (men’s & women’s) and Table Tennis – as we have some funding for new tables. Club Executive training was also implemented for the first time and proved to be very beneficial. Inquiries from students interested in starting a club are received on a weekly basis. The 2010/11 year was the first year of Clubs having its own budget and proved to be very valuable. Further resources need to be allocated to part-time staff assistance, risk management and equipment purchases as there is an opportunity to expand within this area but our current resources are extremely limited.

Special Events
There has been a great response for this area over the past two years, and there is a trend that students are looking to participate in non-traditional activities that do not require previous skills. New this year, many non-sport-based special events were offered to this population such as Wii Madden Tournament, Board Game Olympics, UnAmazing Chase, and Exam Jam – Minute to Win it Challenge. Once again we will work with the English Language Centre and (new this year) the International Centre for Students on the World Cup Soccer Event. This event is designed to facilitate networking and socialization between International students and Canadian students through sport. Dodgeball was another successful event this year. Lastly, we offered a qualifying curling special event this year in which one of our own Men’s Curling Club Team advanced and placed second at Nationals. Special Events is an area that can expand to enhance the University of Manitoba student experience but more resources are required as apparent below. Participant numbers in the special events area are down this year by 80 students in comparison to last year. Without resources for marketing these events, the events end up being cancelled. Next year we hope to work more with UMSU, the Office of Student Life, residence and student councils to increase awareness of our special events. New for this year, special events had its own budget which allowed for more accurate tracking. A breakdown of participant numbers is listed below by program.

Employee Wellness
We saw a decline in our sessions this year due to the negative economic situation many companies experienced. From previously running three Manitoba Hydro sessions, we ended up cancelling all of their sessions. However, we did end up introducing a new group, All-Fab, in which we provided employee wellness presentations and individual fitness assessments to their staff. It was very successful and we received positive feedback. We also facilitated a team building session with the Department of Student Affairs with over a hundred participants.
Specialty Fitness
New this year, we offered circuit training and cycle classes in our two newly-renovated rooms. Cycling classes are going well and new classes had to be added because they were filling in record time. Circuit training classes are not as popular as the cycle classes, but still participants are very happy with the two new rooms and programs. In working closer with Manitoba Fitness Council and their new Executive Director, our Fitness Theory courses are filling up with double the participants in comparison to last year
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 50
which will help us fill fitness instructor positions. Morning Boot Camp classes are still popular, with around 30 participants, as are our Actively Aging classes. A breakdown of participant numbers is listed below.

Sneaker Day and Summer Active
Successful Sneaker Day and Summer Active activities were again held in June at both the Fort Garry and Bannatyne Campus. At Fort Garry (shown), over 350 participants joined us outside for Sneaker Day and over 175 participants were part of Summer Active (from May 30-June 24, 2011). Summer Active participants were provided the opportunity to try FREE sessions including Aqua Boot Camp, Pilates, Belly Dance, Hip Hop, Circuit Training, Indoor Cycling, Yoga, Urban Poling, Weight Training Orientation, Wushu and Zumba. New this year, we added three team activities including bocce, knackers and walleyball. Sneaker Day committee members include representation from U1, Alumni, Human Resources, Advancement and Development Services and Public Affairs.
Occupational Testing
Occupational Testing has been very busy, with contracts with Winnipeg Police, Winnipeg Fire/Paramedic, Canadian Armed Forces, Manitoba Conservation Officers, Northwest Law Academy, Security Services and two new contracts -- Criti Care, similar to the Paramedic testing, and Police Services Auxiliary Cadets testing, similar to the Winnipeg Police Services. The growth in this area continues to put significant strain on our staffing in finding testers, and impacts other areas such as Fitness Attendants and Personal Training. A Career Proposal has been approved for 2.5 continuing positions to assist with these areas as well as Population Health and Exercise Physiology, but finding qualified staff for our current rate of pay and inconsistent hours has also been a challenge. Occupational testing has also been affected by the economy: the WPS-PAT was postponed until January-February 2011 (they were not hiring more officers, as current employees were delaying their retirement due to the current economic situation). Similarly, Fire/Paramedic testing was on hold, but as of Spring/Summer of 2011, large recruitments are again taking place. A breakdown of participant numbers is listed below.

Adult Wellness & Leagues (Emily George, Coordinator, Adult Wellness and Leagues)
Adult Wellness Programs
There were 1,098 people registered in our programs, which include all Dance, Martial Arts, Recreation and Wellness programs (including ‘Learn to Activities such as climbing, kayaking, skating, cross-country ski, snowshoe, guitar, photography, and Pilates, yoga, and tai chi). This is an increase of over 220 participants and approximately $20,000 in increased revenue in comparison to last year. We continue to monitor our competition in the community and on both of our campuses. Some Adult Wellness highlights include the following:
Fall 2010
• First Week Free promotion offered in September and January to encourage participation and to allow potential participants the opportunity to try a program before purchasing. • Moved towards four consistent sessions; 12 weeks for Fall/Winter and 10 and nine weeks for Spring and Summer, respectively. • Increased revenue in comparison to the last few years; highest revenue thus far in this area • Record numbers in Hip Hop, Muay Tai, Zumba, Judo (shown) • Registration numbers in general were good for Fall as we also tried some new marketing techniques, such as distributing a two-page info flyer to all staff on campus, e-mailing current and past program participants, the U of M e-news, etc., to promote classes that paid off.
Winter 2011
• Record numbers in Hip Hop, Muay Thai, Zumba, Judo and guitar, once again.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 52
• Offered new classes in cross-country ski, snow shoe, cardio fitness dance, beginner ballroom dance, a second Zumba class, nutrition, climbing for fitness, Wushu, sikaran arnis, women’s self-defense, and Capoeir,a and fine tuned our kayaking classes.
Looking Ahead: Fall 2011 & Winter 2012

Leagues
UMHL (Hockey League): The League was full again and the Fair Play Policy is serving us and the players very well. Teams must maintain a 3.0 Fair Play rating (out of 4) to be eligible for the playoffs. We had a few suspensions that were handled well, and plan to increase officials’ wages to be more consistent with our competitors. New: on-line registration for the 2010-2011 season. We hired Gillian Chitty, one of our Kinesiology Fieldwork Students, to continue on as the League Convenyor while in transition with full- time continuing staff. Feedback gathered from participants was very positive and the only area of concern was the quality of the officials therefore we are looking at options for the upcoming season. We still pay our refs substantially lower than our competitor leagues within Winnipeg. (Roughly 526 participants.) UMSL (Soccer League): Due to the field renovations, we did not run the soccer league this season. NEW! UMBL (Basketball League): New this year, we ran a competitive men’s basketball league with ten teams on Sundays in the New Gym. Feedback gathered from participants was extremely positive and we look forward to expanding the program next season. (Roughly 180 participants.)
Bannatyne Campus (Kerri Chase, Joe Doupe Recreation Coordinator)
Joe Doupe continues to be very busy serving the Health Sciences Complex (HSC) and Bannatyne Campus. There continues to be a strong interest in the group fitness classes, yoga, kickboxing, CPR/1st Aid and proper posture clinics for health care providers.
Fitness Classes: The fitness classes continue to be well attended with approximately 8,500 participants. A breakdown of participant numbers is listed below.

Intramurals
Joe Doupe’s intramural program has grown this past year with roughly 30 more participants (Fall: 154, Winter: 156) for a total of 310. Due to the hectic schedules of the Medicine, Dentistry and Medical Rehab students, there was previously a problem with a general lack of structure, and many games were being defaulted because teams were not able to show up for all their games. This past year we implemented a $50/team default fee (after consultations with participants) and this considerably reduced the number of defaulted games and made for a better student experience. A breakdown of participant numbers is listed below.

Personal Training
Although there has not been a lot of interest at Joe Doupe for this, we did have four participants involved in personal training last year from January-May.
Sneaker Day/Summer Active
The Joe Doupe Sneaker Day event on June 10, 2011 (shown), was a huge success, with 250 participants and $1,500 raised for an inner city basketball program. This was an increase in $600 raised and 50 more participants from last year. Summer Active events included bocce ball, horse shoes, mini-golf and fitness classes offered on Wednesdays (June 16, 23, 30 and July 7) over the noon hour.
Partnership with William Norrie Satellite Campus
Our partnership with the William Norrie Centre (Faculty of Social Work, satellite campus) continued for another year based on a successful grant application through In Motion. The grant allows us to oversee the staffing of a Fitness Instructor three days per week, and for equipment purchase and payroll of FREE fitness programs for students and staff at the centre.

BISON ATHLETIC THERAPY CENTRE
Ms. Tracey Nyczai, Director
The Bison Athletic Therapy Centre remained busy in 2010-2011, treating Bison athletes, staff, students and the general community. With a full complement of KINREC Athletic Therapy Certification Candidates working alongside the therapists in the clinic, the year seemed to fly by. Byron Bahniuk supplemented his work in the clinic by teaching the Athletic Therapy Skills Course in the faculty and will be doing so again this year. Mandy Los attended the Canadian Athletic Therapists Conference in Banff, Alberta in May 2011. This coincided with the World Federation of Athletic Training Conference thus was a valuable educational experience. Tracey Nyczai attended the World Conference on Prevention of Injury and Illness and Sport in Monte Carlo, France in April 2011. It was an incredible learning experience with speakers from all over the world. Once again the BATC celebrated National Athletic Therapy Month (NATM) in June at the annual Sneaker Day event at the Fort Garry Campus. Awareness of brain injuries andconcussions was the theme for NATM and the Concussion awareness obstacle course that we set up was a big hit! Trying to navigate obstacles and throw a ball at a target while wearing vision impairment goggles took more than a few of us by surprise! We will be submitting our NATM celebrations and promotions to the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association Contest in hopes of receiving an award again this year as we have in the past. The BATC continues to offer early morning appointments (starting at 7:30am) as this seemed to meet staff needs. Massage Therapy will be offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1:30pm – 5:30pm this year starting September 2011. The BATC is also excited to start offering direct billing services to U o f M students with the UMSU Health Insurance Plan starting in September 2011. We hope to bring more students into our centre by removing the financial burden of having to pay up front for our services.

BISON CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS
Mr. Jay Gamey, Interim Director
Introduction
Children’s Programs continued to encompass a wide variety of dynamic and educational programs for children between the ages of 2 to 16 years. Approximately 11,000 children participated in these programs and over 300 University students received invaluable employment and training experiences.
Summer Programs
In its 32nd year, Mini-University continued to be the largest summer youth program in North America. In the summer of 2010, registrations decreased from the previous year with approximately 5,900 children attending a wide variety of programs. The programs are broken into three main categories: 1) Sports Camps, 2) Special Interest Camps and 3) Bison Ice Camps. Mini-University is non-profit and would not exist without the continued financial assistance from a variety of city, provincial and federal government bodies. This past year, student employment programs from the federal and provincial government subsidized employment opportunities for approximately 110 University students. Funding from Winnipeg School Division #1 was allocated to sponsor180 “at-risk” children to attend various programs. Financial support from Manitoba Hydro allowed in excess of 100 economically disadvantaged children to attend these programs. The continued support of each of these institutions is very much appreciated by both the University and the community, and is essential for the ongoing success of these programs.
Research
For the first time, Children’s Programs introduced a Donate TWO Research campaign that was developed to raise funds for children’s physical activity-related research in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management. The community was encouraged to ‘Play 4 Your Health’ and purchase a t- shirt for $10. Two dollars from each t-shirt sale was put towards this newly-created research fund. Approximately 1,000 t-shirts were sold during July and August. Researchers Dr. Leisha Strachan, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management, and Kristin Davies, Research Assistant, led a study to explore the sport experiences of children in a variety of sport contexts. Another main focus of this study was to engage children in the research process through a unique methodology that empowers them and allows them to have more of a voice. These results will help to provide an exclusive view into sport programs which help to shape the physical, psychosocial, and emotional growth of children.
Fall/Winter/Spring Programs
The fall/winter programs include Movers and Groovers early years basic movement skills course, Judo, Taekwondo, Karate, Learn to Skate, Rock Climbing and a variety of hockey skills programs.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 57
Our 28th Spring Break Camps ran with great success. The programs saw children attend a variety of physical education programs for a week-long day camp. Programs included Learn to Skate, Hockey & Sports, Shooting and Scoring, Bison Goalie Training, Fun, Sport & Fitness, Fun, Dodgeball & Fitness, and a Bison Cheerleading program instructed by our very own Bison Cheerleaders.
School Programs
School programs saw tremendous growth this year. In the fall, In-service days ran for the fourth year. In-service days run when the Louis Riel and Pembina Trails School Division have no school. An average of 35 children attended the 16 different days. Approximately 100 schools participated in field trips to the University. In addition 10 schools (including two home-school groups) participated in swimming lessons. The total number of children attending school programs this year was in excess of 5,500 children.
Swimming Programs
In its 14th year, the “I CAN SWIM” program continued to be extremely popular. Over 2,000 children participated in the popular swimming programs and most programs filled to capacity within the first few days of registration. The “I CAN SWIM” program incorporates all ages regardless of level of skill or ability. Progression through the program occurs at each child’s own rate and they can excel in areas where they are strong. Other programs offered include: tots, Mini-Bisons (semi competitive swimming programs for children who will improve their swimming ability by aiming for speed swimming stroke technique), diving, Bronze Star, Swim Patrol, Bronze Medallion, Bronze Cross and adult learn-to-swim programs.
Awards
A team of University of Manitoba Lifeguard/Teacher staff entered and finished in first place at the Manitoba Provincial Lifeguard Competition. This competition tests standard lifeguarding skills such as emergency response skills and procedures, swimming abilities, etc.
Professional Development and Representation
Travis DeLaronde, Drew Sheffield and Ashley Gagnon represented the department at the Play It Fair conference in Winnipeg. This full-day development session was put on by the International Centre of Human Rights Education and focused on teaching children basic concepts of values and ethics through games.
Strategic Planning
Gary Thompson completed a proposed Strategic Plan for Children’s Programs. This document was circulated to the Faculty for feedback. After review of the collected feedback from many Faculty members it was suggested that we focus on making changes to the mission and vision statements to start. Motions to make changes to both the mission and vision statements were approved at Faculty
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 58
Council June 2011. Progress on further strategic planning items for Children’s Programs will continue during the following year.
Personnel
Brenda Krueger retired from the University July 2010. Drew Sheffield was appointed as a temporary Assistant Program Coordinator for three months (July – September). Jay Gamey’s appointment as Interim Director was extended until October 2011. Stewart Thiessen resigned from his position (August 2010) as the Sport Program Coordinator to enter into the Faculty of Education to complete his second degree with our University. Amanda Devion returned from maternity leave September 2010 and replaced Stew as the Sport Program Coordinator. Ashley Gagnon’s temporary reclassification was extended until March 2012. Evan Zarecki was hired as the as the Special Interest Coordinator September 2010 then resigned three weeks later for a permanent position outside of the University of Manitoba. This position was reposted and Travis DeLaronde was appointed October 2010. Amanda Devion resigned from her position February 2011 to stay home with her two young children. Kaylee Roteliuk was later appointed into the Sport Program Coordinator position effective March 2011. Travis DeLaronde resigned from his position effective August 2011 to pursue a permanent position teaching. Kate Amey was appointed into a six-month temporary position as the Special Interest Program Coordinator. *All Children’s Programs employees are in project or temporary positions at this time due to developments of the strategic planning document.
Summary
Overall, Children’s Programs continues to enjoy tremendous success in 2010-11. With some exciting new program ideas the programs can only continue to maintain the excellent quality that our customers have come to know and appreciate.

Facility Upgrades
Frank Kennedy Centre
Through the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) Program, the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management received $240,000 in funding towards a renewal project to upgrade community used recreation-athletic facilities in the University’s Frank Kennedy Centre. In addition to the $240,000 funding, $25,000 was received from the Physical Plant Department towards accessibility portions of the project. The upgrades included:
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 61
a) New Gymnasium completed April 2010. b) New full court basketball hoops installed in Gold Gym, April 2010. c) Renovated Wellness Studio completed January 2011. d) New Circuit Training Studio completed January 2011. e) New Cycling Studio (shown) completed January 2011. f) New Family Changing Room substantially completed April 2011. Safety upgrades to the handrails and guardrails in the main stairwell used to access the Gritty Grotto, and the second, third and fourth floors of the building were completed in July 2011. The project was funded by the Physical Plant Department. The hardwood flooring in the Gold Gym was re-coated in April 2011. This marks the first time the flooring has been re-coated since the gym was renovated in 2008. Construction of a new office located in the Grotto Strength and Training Room was completed in May 2011. The women’s sauna received a complete renovation in September 2010. At the same time, new bench seating boards were installed in the men’s sauna, even though it was renovated in 2009.
Max Bell Centre
The Alumni Lounge received a fresh coat of paint in January 2011. This has enhanced the look of the room considerably. Upgrades and repairs to the infield dividing curtains in the Fieldhouse were completed in June 2011. The upgrades included new motors, new drive/pull cables, and new lift cables and pulleys. The old propane ice resurfacing machine used in the Arena was replaced by a new model in February 2011. The new machine will not only improve the quality of the ice, but more importantly will eliminate the frequent breakdowns experienced with the old machine. The new machine was purchased by the Physical Plant Department. Re-keying of the Frank Kennedy Centre was completed in March 2010, followed by the Max Bell Centre and Investors Group Athletic Centre in March 2011. Approximately 2,000 new keys have been issued for all three buildings since March 2010. I would like to thank Ms. Debbie Gajadhar, Scheduling and Key Coordinator for the Faculty, for the tremendous amount of time and energy she put towards looking after such an enormous and significant project.
Investors Group Athletic Centre
Work to the centre court flooring was completed in December 2010, which included re-sanding, recoating, new FIBA basketball lines and repainting of a larger Bison head logo. Through the Indirect Costs Program, the Faculty received $50,000 in funding towards the installation of video conferencing to Conference Room 238. This completed the audio visual upgrades to the room, which also features a new ceiling mounted data projector, new screen, new wall speakers and new podium.
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2010-2011 Annual Report… page 62
Renovations to Lab/Room 234 were completed in April 2011. New switches to control lights and new drapery to partition the room into different testing areas were installed. Major repairs were completed on the gym west bleacher in May 2011. A complete inspection was done and mechanical parts were replaced.
University Stadium and Outdoor Fields
A new facility for throwing events for Track and Field was constructed in the northwest corner area of the University Stadium grounds. The facility is for the Discus Throw, the Hammer Throw and the Shot Put. Also included is a new 50-metre warm-up running track with Mondo Super X rubber sport surface. This new facility is replacement for the old facility lost to the development and construction of the new Bomber/Bison Stadium. Construction continues on the two new outdoor artificial turf playing fields located west of the Indoor Soccer Complex. Anticipated completion is September 2011. The field closest to the Indoor Soccer Complex will accommodate both football and soccer, while the second field will be for soccer only. However, both fields will have lighting, which will enable the fields to be operated and used longer.
Staffing News
Mr. Tyler Yellowega was hired in January 2011 as the Joe Doupe Centre Facilities Attendant. This is a 0.5 project position for 12 months. Mr. Yellowega comes to us after graduating from the Faculty in 2010 with a Bachelor of Recreation Management and Community Development degree with an emphasis on Facility Management. He also completed his fieldwork placement with the Facilities Department. Mr. Yellowega has proven to be a valuable addition to the team. Ms. Christina Phillips was hired in May 2011 as the Investors Group Athletic Centre Building Coordinator on a continuing basis. Ms. Phillips had been in the position since February 2010 as a project position. Her experience includes two years as a Supervisor in the Mini University Children’s Programs, one year as an Events Staff Crew Chief in the Facilities Department, and two years as an Events Staff/Customer Service Representative in the Faculty. We are excited to have Ms. Phillips join the team and I am confident she will continue to be a great asset to the Faculty.

Bison athletes had a big impact in the community as they continued the “Bisons Against Bullying” program. The extensive program completed the sixth edition in 2010-11. Over 60 Bison student-athletes visited over 30 schools with a focus on Grades 4-6. Bison athletes visit a school, perform a one-hour presentation that defines bullying and provide some strategies for people who are getting bullied or
Outreach Activities/Community Service…page 6
who witness bullying. “Bisons Against Bullying” has presented to over 5,000 students throughout the five editions. The Bison student-athletes expanded their volunteering at the Siloam Mission with all teams assisting for a week during spring break for the sixth consecutive season. Bison Sports continues to have “Tin for the Bin” events during selected Bison events and have donated several food hampers to Winnipeg Harvest during the year. The Bison women’s basketball team and the Skownan First Nation continue to grow their partnership with the “Running with the Bison,” an initiative that revolves around friendship and bison. The team fostered community outreach with Skownan, which included a basketball camp and a retreat. Within the last few years, cancer has directly struck the Bison men's hockey team on more than one occasion, prompting the squad to start an annual game night event to raise money for prostate cancer research. The team has been raising money throughout the month of November during their ‘Movember’ effort of growing mustaches for the full month. Each ‘Movember’ there is a challenge to men to change their appearance and the face of men's health by growing a moustache. The moustache is the ribbon, the means to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research. Over our lifetime, one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and a startling 4,300 will die every year from this disease in Canada. On Saturday, November 27, 2010 at the Max Bell Arena when the Bisons hosted the No. 1 ranked Alberta Golden Bears, there was a table set up to sell both moustache buttons and tickets for a 50/50 draw. All proceeds from the buttons and half the pot of the 50/50 will be donated to prostate cancer research. The first-ever annual Flag Football North of 55 camp was held at Burntwood Elementary School in Thompson, MB from May 28-29, 2011. It was a huge success with over 120 girls and boys aged 11-17 registered. Former Bison football player Kurtis Stolth conceived this concept and spearheaded the camp, which consisted of a BBQ and registration in Thompson on May 27, football drills, practices and certification on May 28, and a morning practice followed by an afternoon session of a round robin tournament to end the camp on May 29. Prior to the start of CFL camp, Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Buck Pierce and offensive lineman Glenn January were guest coaches. There were be several current and past Bison Football players as coaches – LB Thomas Hall, DB Grayson Wells, QBs John Makie, Nathan Friesen, RBs Karim Lowen, Duane Allen, DL Matt Harper, DB Mike Howard, OLs Terry Watson and Stolth along with Student Athletic Therapist Stephen Fedus – plus Winnipeg Rifles players over the weekend. As 2011 starts, the Manitoba Bisons student-athletes have begun new initiatives in the community with the Bison Book Buddies and CANU programs. These two new programs strive to assist young students throughout the Winnipeg region. The University of Manitoba Athletic Council (UMAC) developed the Bison Book Buddies program as an initiative to increase and emphasize literacy in students in grades one to four. The program started at the end of January and runs through to March/April 2011. The idea is to create a fun learning environment where students are interested and motivated to read. The first visit to the schools involved inclusionary activities where the students and athletes got to know each other and practiced fun literacy activities. In the next visits, the athletes were available to be paired or grouped with students to read or be read to. A group of five to 12 Bison student-athletes per time slot (either morning or afternoon) visited four classrooms (Beaverlodge, Dalhousie, St. Avila, Royal) this year and hope to increase school numbers for next school year.
Outreach Activities/Community Service…page 7
The CANU on campus pilot project was spearheaded by Bison chaplain Roger Barrington and is now being implemented by Bison student-athletes. On every Tuesday late afternoon/early evening during this school year, U of Manitoba students from the Bison track & field and cross country teams, the Faculty of Education and the Department of Nutrition are invited to apply to mentor, coach and develop component- specific programs for a group of school children from Winnipeg’s inner city. Bison track athletes will be responsible for developing and executing an 18-week running and fitness program for 12 children who have not had formal track coaching or training but who have been selected for the CANU program in part because of a good athletic capacity. The goal is to deliver a fun, high-quality program which will expose these Grades 4-6 children to track & field and cross country, and will give them an experience at the University campus which will enhance their potential and opportunity to one day successfully study at a post-secondary level. Students in the other components of the program will provide mentoring in healthy lifestyles, nutrition and cooking as well as personal tutoring.
Bison Track and Field
The track and field team continues to work with the Terik program, which is a group of young Kenyan athletes, by providing some sporting equipment as well as making an annual financial donation towards a scholarship for school for some of their student-athletes. Bison Track and Field has also been responsible for organizing several track meets for the Louis Riel and Pembina Trails School Divisions. Several athletes on the team have been involved with the CANU project. This is a project that involves about 15 youth from the inner city who come to the University of Manitoba once a week to meet with students and instructors from the Faculties of Human Ecology and Education and to spend an hour receiving Track and Field coaching from athletes on the team.
