FACULTY’S HISTORY

In 1933, a Director of Recreation position was created at the . 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 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 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 degree program (the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science), 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 accredited programs in . In September 2004, the degree designation of the Bachelor of Recreation Studies was changed to the Bachelor of Recreation Management and Community Development. In December 2005, Senate approved the recommendation to change the name of the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science degree (BESS) to the Bachelor of Kinesiology degree (BKin) 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

Welcome to the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management Annual report. We are delighted to be able to share our activities in Research, Academic programs, Bison Sport, and Active Living with our friends and readers. The Faculty has continued its strategic planning processes within many of its units, leading to new ideas for our future. These processes, and the new personnel that have joined us this year, are charged with moving us towards our vision of being known for our excellence in research and teaching, high performance sport, and recreation service. New staff in the professoriate, in administration and in direct service, help us to constantly question ourselves, our assumptions, our practices and our processes. It is an exciting undertaking! We have continued to attract many undergraduate FKRM’s Dean, Dr. Jane Watkinson (centre), with and graduate students to our programs. The faculty Dean Emeritus Dr. Henry Janzen (left) and Faculty and staff that teach and advise them are excellent member Dr. Jennifer Mactavish (right), following Convocation Ceremonies in June 2010. teachers and researchers who share their knowledge of the biological, sociocultural and psychological underpinnings of our fields. We are committed to graduating the next generation of knowledgeable people in recreation, sport, kinesiology, athletic therapy, and physical education. Many of our students combine scholarly activity in the classroom with professional practice in our own Faculty programs (Bison Sport, Active Living, Children’s Programs) and in other agencies and clinics around the Province. Together our academic staff and our professional partners produce skilled and knowledgeable professionals for the future. Dr. Kelly MacKay, our Associate Dean Academic has provided an update on our program changes. Our professors work diligently to test their ideas with other knowledgeable experts around the world. They are truly international scholars whose work is recognized by research granting agencies, through publications in scholarly and professional journals, and through invitations to address conferences and groups both within Canada and outside of Canada. You will see in the following pages that our Canada Research Chair, Dr. Phillip Gardiner, has been reappointed for an additional seven years and that we have four new Faculty members (Dr. Todd Duhamel, Dr. Russell Field, Dr. Leisha Strachan, Dr. Sarah Teetzel). Their research portfolios are included in this report and I invite you to look at them, and spend time reading the papers that interest you. These are available from the Faculty and from the individual researchers FKRM’s Dr. Gord Giesbrecht (right) themselves. emerges from the Red River after The faculty and staff also share their ideas both with their demonstrating the proper way to exit a peers in other institutions, and with the public. Many of you submerged vehicle in November 2009.

may have seen our scholars, including those who are new to the Faculty, comment on issues that arise daily in the media. These academics keep our education current, as is clear by a highly satisfactory Undergraduate Program Review, CATA reaccreditation, and continued growth in applications to our programs. Our Bison Sport Programs continue to do well, while our athletes distinguish themselves academically and in community service. I invite you to read more about them in the pages that follow. Changes are expected in the make-up of Canada West, with new teams joining the conference, and potential changes to the conference organization as a result. With the growth of new Universities in the west, it is not surprising that Bison Sport will eventually be affected. Our Athletic Director, Ms. Coleen Dufresne, will be closely involved in decisions at the CIS and Canada West level. Active Living continues to be a major function of the Faculty that is appreciated by thousands of members from the student body and also from the community. Children’s Programs continues to thrive despite issues with reduced outdoor space as the Bomber Stadium begins to take shape. We are particularly happy with the progress that has been made in moving towards a new Active Living Centre. Our award-winning architects (Cibinel Architects Ltd.) have worked closely with our Director of Active Living, Mr Garry Thompson, to engage each one of us in a highly collaborative process that will lead to a new building in which to develop our Active Living programs to serve the University Community. It is our hope that the new building will make possible the provision of programs and services that improve the well-being of the staff and students of the University of Manitoba, while at the same time providing opportunities for the discovery, dissemination, and application of knowledge. Our future as a competitive and research-intensive faculty and university in Canada – attractive to students, staff, scholars, athletes and their communities – will rest in part on an integrated and full-service physical activity and wellness facility on the campus. I hope you will take the time to read this report and join with me in celebrating the accomplishments of a warm and wonderful Faculty.

HEALTH, LEISURE AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Dr. Phillip Gardiner, Associate Dean (Research), Director, Health, Leisure & Human Performance Research Institute, and Canada Research Chair in Physical Activity and Health Studies

I am pleased to report that the Health, Leisure & Human Performance Research Institute (HLHPRI) is moving ahead at full-speed towards an ever-brightening future, and all affiliates and associates have contributed significantly and dynamically to the success of our voyage in 2009-2010. We have added three members to our ranks since July 1, 2009: Drs. Sarah Teetzel, Leisha Strachan, and Russell Field. Two of our family members decided to move on to other endeavours: Dr. Jon McGavock decided to move over to the Manitoba Institute of Child Health in January, where he was awarded an endowed research chair, and Maureen Rodrigue decided to begin the retirement phase of her journey on May 1, 2010. We extend our best wishes to both Jon and Maureen, and urge them both to stay in contact with us.

Members of the HLHPRI continued their tradition in 2009-10 Maureen Rodrigue (right), HLHPRI’s of bettering the previous year's production of the HLHPRI in departing Assistant to the Director, is terms of published and presented works, and bettering the toasted by colleagues Dr. Joannie Halas previous year's research funding in the form of awards from (left) and Dr. Elizabeth Ready. various sources. Especially worth noting is the research funding received from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (McGavock), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (Christine Van Winkle), Manitoba Medical Services Foundation (Todd Duhamel), Olympic Studies Centre’s Postgraduate Research Grant Program 2010 (Field), the Canada Research Chair Program (Gardiner), and from the University of Manitoba’s University Research Grants Program (Teetzel, Duhamel, Van Winkle, and Field). All I can say is congratulations to all recipients, and “We’re in the money!!” (To be sung to the tune of We’re in the Money.) Of particular interest this past year has been the media attention received by our affiliates, many of them our junior members, in fact. Michelle Porter had a busy year as a “media darling,” being featured on Global TV, CJOB, CTV News, and the Free Press for her Candrive project, and in the Free Press about Winnipeg Police Service’s anti- speeding campaign. Gord Giesbrecht continued to raise the visibility of his important research and of the Institute by appearing in the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, and the Winnipeg Free Press of course, with even a mention in O, the Oprah Winfrey Magazine, regarding Gord’s research on heat loss from the head. Todd Duhamel spoke on CJOB about physical activity and heart health, and Liz Ready discussed the Dr. Michelle Porter, with equipment used role of kinesiology in health care on CBC. Russell Field in nationwide Candrive testing trials. received coverage in the Toronto Star for his Canadian Sport Film Festival, and Sarah Teetzel commented in the Winnipeg

Sun on the issue of torchbearers at the Olympics. Sarah and Russell commented in the Free Press on the fight-club issue that caused some concern last year. Our graduate students working in the Institute were very successful this past year in obtaining scholarships, including from the U of M’s Centre on Aging, the CIHR Institute of Aging, and the CIHR Frederick Banting and Charles Best Scholarship Program. Prizes for trainees for their research were forthcoming from St. Boniface Research Center, and the Exercise Physiologists of Western Canada meeting (EPOWC). Concerning the latter, our Faculty hosted the third annual EPOWC meeting in August 2009, drawing more than 50 delegates, with trainees from the U of M winning three of the four first- place prizes for their presentations Our outreach programs were as active as ever in 2009-2010. The Aboriginal Youth Mentorship Program was funded to the tune of $1.3 million in provincial funding – congratulations Joannie Halas. Russell Field organized the Canadian Sport Film Festival in Toronto. Our affiliates also shared their expertise with the public in CIHR Café Scientifiques forums: Todd Duhamel in a session on Heart Health, and Leisha Strachan and Jon McGavock in a session on children’s physical activity. Jennifer Mactavish received the well-deserved 2010 Campbell Outreach Award for her extensive involvement in the movement, and her sport-for-development model linking communities in Kenya and Canada. The involvement of the Institute and the Faculty in the in motion initiative continued in 2009-2010, with the research committee chaired by Elizabeth Ready, and including Janice Butcher, Maureen Rodrigue, and Phillip Gardiner. In September 2009, the Institute undertook a strategic planning session, held at the University Women's Club of Winnipeg in the beautiful Ralph Conner House in Armstrong Point. Several issues of major importance were raised, among them the name of the Institute (Oh really? That's new!), and the feasibility of developing a research "focus" versus remaining transdisciplinary in nature. The Institute Seminar Series was as lively and multidisciplinary as in previous years, with visiting speakers from Ontario, B.C., and the U.S. (list on next page). The creation of a "Directed Study Research Internship,” to allow students to get a "taste" of research in their senior undergraduate years, was formalized in 2009-2010, and several undergraduate students have contacted researchers in the Faculty to take advantage of this HLHPRI’s Dr. Gord Giesbrecht (second from left) opportunity. Last but not least, yours truly was takes a turn at bocce ball following the Institute’s successful in having his Tier I Canada Research Chair strategic planning session in September 2009, as renewed, effective July 1, 2009, for seven additional colleagues (from left) Dr. Phil Gardiner, Dr. years.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

Dr. Kelly MacKay, Associate Dean (Academic)

This report highlights this year’s academic activities and accomplishments. Thank-you for the leadership provided to our graduate program by Dr. Michelle Porter and Dr. Phillip Gardiner and to our undergraduate program by Dr. Janice Butcher, Jackie Elliott, Karin Nowak-Bailey and Patti Dickieson. Also the efforts of David Schmeichel, Communication and Alumni Relations Officer, in his first year with the Faculty, provided heightened profile as well as enhanced internal and external communications, specifically regarding the Faculty’s academic undertakings. In 2009 we welcomed three new assistant professors; Dr. Leisha Strachan (BPE 1997), Dr. Russell Field, and Dr. Sarah Teetzel. We were also very pleased to add Jennifer Triggs to the Faculty’s main office staff to provide student assistance, reception, and office support to our academic program. Re-joining the Faculty after their respective leave periods were Dr. Elizabeth Ready, Dr. Christine Van Winkle and Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht. Although leaving our Faculty in January for the Faculty of Medicine (Pediatric and Child Health), Dr. Jon McGavock will continue as an adjunct graduate program member. The Faculty completed our Undergraduate Program 10-Year Review (1998-2008) as required by the Office of the Vice President Academic. The purpose of the review was to assess the quality of the FKRM’s undergraduate academic programs and their relevance in terms of the strategic direction of the Faculty and University. An external review committee, consisting of Dr. Mary Benbow, Associate Dean, Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Earth, Environment & Resources (U of M); Dr. John Hay, Dept. Head, Community Health Sciences, Brock University; and Dr. Carol Rodgers, Dean, Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Saskatchewan, conducted the on-site portion of the review. Results of their FKRM’s Lori Nickel (left) volunteers for a health review were favorable, indicating that we deliver assessment as part of FKRM’s Advanced Fitness & quality programs with limited resources; however, it Lifestyle Counselling course. also pointed to areas needing attention in order to sustain a quality undergraduate program. Several of these will be addressed in our future strategic and resource planning exercises. 2009-2010 was the final transition to the new (now current) undergraduate curriculum with the first offering of KIN/REC 4100 Current Issues with Dr. Elizabeth Ready as the inaugural professor. This capstone course promotes inter-professional learning involving case study analyses and student group work. Members of our Undergraduate Advisory Board provided valuable input, case contributions, and participation in class sessions. Also this year, the revised Fieldwork Experience program was implemented, thanks to the efforts of Colleen Plumton. Wilderness Adventures, an experiential learning course was offered for the first time in 2010 summer session. With our ongoing commitment to curricular excellence, a number of course changes were approved to refine and expand our undergraduate program offerings. Of particular 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.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 8

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 (pictured at right) at 13 schools throughout the inner city and north end of Winnipeg. Members of our academic staff actively share their knowledge through various community and media outlets. This year two Faculty members participated in the Canadian Institutes for Health Research’s knowledge translation initiative, Café Scientifique: Dr. Todd Duhamel spoke on research to prevent cardiovascular disease and Dr. Leisha Strachan shared insights on how to help kids be more active. Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht was again in high demand by the media for his expertise in cold water immersion, as was Dr. Michelle Porter for her knowledge on physical abilities of older drivers, and Dr. Aboriginal Youth Mentorship, 2010 Sarah Teetzel for her perspectives on doping, ethics, and sport. Academic staff members’ service on boards and committees continues to foster our community connections and provide “real world” examples to our students. Dr. Marion Alexander is a member of Sport Manitoba’s “Women to Watch” grant committee for promising female coaches and athletes; Dr. Michael Campbell chaired the Travel Manitoba Sustainable Tourism Industry Advisory Committee; Dr. Russell Field served on the conference committee for the North American Society for Sport History; Dr. Christine Van Winkle is vice-president of the Gas Station Arts Centre; and Kyle Turcotte sits on the board of the Manitoba Fitness Council and Jackie Elliott on the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association. The Exercise Physiologists of Western Canada (EPOWC) conference was held at U of M in August 2009, which involved many of our faculty members and graduate students in its successful organization and implementation. Our Faculty continues its close association with the active living initiatives Winnipeg in motion and Manitoba in motion. Dr. Phillip Gardiner chaired the research committee, to which Drs. Butcher, Teetzel and Ready also belong. The Faculty was represented on the inter-agency coordinating committee by Dr. Kelly MacKay and Maureen Rodrigue. There were several staff changes over the yea. We welcomed back Karin Nowak-Bailey, Undergraduate Program Administrator (UPA), from her parental leave and thank Patti Dickieson for stepping into the UPA role. Floyd Buhler filled the interim academic advising post. Also a sincere thank-you is given to Dr. Michelle Porter, our Graduate Program Chair, whose term has ended. Over the last three years, she was instrumental in advancing the quality of our graduate programs through ongoing review and changes. These responsibilities will now be ably assumed by Dr. Dennis Hrycaiko. Congratulations to Coach Ken Bentley on being FKRM’s recipient of the University of Manitoba Outreach Award and to Dr. Joannie Halas, who received the University Teaching Service Teacher Recognition honours this year from BPE student Adam Boila, who was also the Faculty’s Gold Medalist this year. Dr. Jennifer Mactavish received the Dr. and Mrs. Campbell Outreach Award for meritorious service related to her contributions to disability sport via Special Olympics Manitoba and the International Paralympic Committee, which was presented at May 2010 Convocation. Also at May convocation Dr. Henry Janzen was named Dean Emeritus, for his outstanding leadership of the Faculty and the legacy of his work, including but certainly not limited to the Health, Leisure & Human Performance Research Institute, the Max Bell Centre, and of course the bestowing of “Faculty” status to our unit. Thank-you Henry!

In the 2009-10 season, the Bisons started the season ranked #5 in the CIS Top 10 (first time ranked for the program since the 2007-08 season) and were ranked for the majority of the season. At the end of the 2009-10 season, Bison second-year player Dane Pischke was selected for the Mark Tennant Award, Manitoba Volleyball Association – Male Player of the Year in the 21U category.

Women’s Basketball

The Bison women’s basketball team (2009-10: 8-12 regular season) came one game short of a playoff spot in the new conference post- season system this season. The team won five games in the second half of the season to make a push for the playoffs and defeated cross-town rival Winnipeg in both conference games during the season. Bison fifth-year guard Michele Hynes (pictured, left) has been selected as the 2009-10 CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) Sylvia Sweeney Award winner. This is only the second time a Manitoba Bisons women’s

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 26

basketball player has been a CIS Sylvia Sweeney Outstanding Student-Athlete Award winner. Manitoba’s Anna Drewniak was this CIS award recipient in the 2002-03 season. The prestigious CIS Sylvia Sweeney Award is presented to a player who exhibits outstanding achievement in three areas: basketball, academics and community involvement. It is named in honour of Sylvia Sweeney, a past player at McGill, Concordia and Laurentian, who excelled both on the court and in the classroom.

Men’s Basketball

The Bison men’s basketball team (2009-10: 4-16 regular season) started a new era as this was the first season under head coach Kirby Schepp. Schepp was also named as assistant coach of Team Canada Cadet National Team in April 2009. Manitoba started the season with an 80-74 conference win at Brandon and this was the first time the Bisons won at Brandon since the 1994 season. The team also had a thrilling, come-from-behind overtime win over Victoria in the first half and began the second half with a road win at Thompson Rivers. In Canada West stats, guard Nathan Dixon was eighth in scoring with 17.6 points per game and first in 3- points made at 3.4 per game; Eric Garcia was third in three-point percentage at 44.4% and fifth in assists at 4.3 per game and both players in top ten of conference minutes played. In addition, Kirby Schepp was also selected to inaugural Team Canada Cadet National Basketball Under- 17 Team Coaching Staff as an assistant coach in April 2009.

Women’s and Men’s

At the end of the 2010 CIS Swimming Championships in Toronto, the Manitoba Bisons swim teams had two male and one female swimmer in the Nationals competition and had one swimmer make it to the top five. Bison rookie Riley Pickerl ended his first CIS season with a flourish as he established four new Bison team marks in four different events while earning a Bison top placing of fifth-place finish in the 1500m freestyle. Also, on day three and final day of the this year’s CIS Championship held on Saturday, February 20, Pickerl swam to a new Bison record of 15:39.89 in the 1500m race and broke his own record by almost eight seconds (old record: 15:47.63 set at 2010 Canada West Championship on Jan. 22). In the same day, Pickerl smashed a 20 year Bison record in the 200m backstroke (old record: John Earle in 2:03.81 in 1990) when he swam to 17th place with a time of 2:03.23. In addition, Pickerl set a new Bison record in the 200m freestyle and broke a nine year old record when he swam to a 12th place in a time of 1:50.86 (old record: Chris Razeau in 1:52.03 in 2001). The Winnipeg native also broke his own record in the 400m freestyle when he finished tenth in a time of 3:54.42 (old record: 3:57.84 set at 2010 Canada West Championship on Jan. 24, 2010). At the completion of the 2010 Canada West Swimming Championship in Lethbridge, the Manitoba Bison men’s swim team finished in fifth spot with 157.5 points (8.5 points better than last season’s Championship total) in the seven-team event. The women's team was in sixth spot with 121 points. The Bison highlight of the third and final day of conference championship competition was the gold medal swim by Bison rookie Riley Pickerl in the men’s 400 freestyle event in a time of 3:57.84. The fast time bettered his own Bison team record in the 400m that he set earlier in the 2009-10.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 27

Overall during the three-day conference Championship, Pickerl also earned a silver medal in the men’s 1500 free and his time of 15:47.63 set a new Manitoba Bisons team record in the 1500m, breaking an eight-year-old mark (Elliot Macdonald with 16:05.93 in 2002). Pickerl also finished fifth in the 200m backstroke. Second-year Julie Therrien was sixth in the women 50m freestyle, while fourth-year Casey Gergely was seventh in the men 100m butterfly. The other Top 10 Bison swim was third-year Kerri-Ann Bochen, who won the ‘B’ Finals and placed in ninth in the women 200m breaststroke. The men 4x200m freestyle team earned third place after teams were disqualified.

Women’s and Men’s Track & Field

At the conclusion of the 2010 CIS Track and Field Championships at the University of Windsor, the Bison men’s track and field team on the final day had two Top 6 finishes and ended up in 11th place overall with 23 points. The Bison women’s track and field team completed the Championship in 13th spot overall with 18.5 points (an improvement of 9.5 points from last season’s 14th place). During the third and final day of the CIS Track and Field Championship meet, Bison highlights included third year Josh Gundrum just missing a bronze medal (41cm behind third) as he finished fourth in the men’s triple jump with a jump of 14.46m. During the second day of the meet, Bison highlights were led by fifth- year Garth Suppes earning a silver medal with a second place in the men’s weight toss with a throw of 17.36m. With the silver medal, Suppes also becomes a CIS Second Team All-Canadian, for the first time in his career. Plus, fifth year Justin Charrier was fifth in Women’s Relay team member Jennifer Campbell. the men’s weight toss with a 16.49m throw. In the first day of the Championship on March 11, fifth-year Caley Miskimmin was only .05 second off a bronze medal in the women’s 60m dash. She ran her second fastest ever time at 7.59 to place fourth. At the conclusion of the 2010 Canada West Track and Field Championships at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, the Bison men’s and women’s team both finished in fourth place out of seven teams. The men’s team had their two-time Canada West title reign end with a fourth with 61 points. The women’s team ended up fourth with 55 points, only four points back of third Calgary. On day two of the conference championship, third year Josh Gundrum successfully defended his Canada West title in men’s triple jump. He earned a gold medal with a first place jump of 14.04m. Along with Gundrum, the Bisons captured two more individual silvers on day two (Teresa Logozar in women’s high jump and Lucas Rodewald in men’s high jump) and three more individual bronze medal performances (Tyrone Welchinski in men’s high jump; Travis Toet in men’s 600m and Garth Suppes in men’s shot put). During the first day of the two day meet, Manitoba earned four medals and was led by the gold medal performance by fifth year Garth Suppes. Suppes was a silver medalist last season and improved with a first place in the men’s weight toss with a throw of 18.01m. Also in the men’s weight toss, fifth year Justin Charrier won a bronze medal with a third place showing of 16.01m throw. On the women’s side, the Bisons earned three silver medals when fifth year Dana Baker was second in the women’s long jump with a jump of 5.74m, third year Katrina Bruckschwaiger was second in the women’s 3000m race in a

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 28

time of 9:57.62 and second year Alex Allen finished second in the women’s pole vault with a jump of 3.62m. Individually, there were two Bisons who earned 2009-10 Canada West First Team All-Star recognition: Josh Gundrum and Garth Suppes. Bisons who were 2009-10 Canada West Second Team All-Stars included Dana Baker, Alex Allen, Katrina Bruckschwaiger, Teresa Logozar, Lucas Rodewald, Zacharie Durand, Jamie McMaster, Andrew Schellenberg and Jay Waters. Suppes was the lone Bison to earn CIS Second Team All-Canadian status.

Bison Alumni:

Chicago Bears NFL football player and former Bison Israel Idonije was honored as a Global Ambassador by the Jack Brewer Foundation on Tuesday, June 22, 2010 in New York. The non-profit organization, which was founded by former NFL safety Jack Brewer, recognizes those who have done outstanding volunteer work for underserved communities and children both in and outside the . Idonije visited his native Nigeria in March for the third straight year, distributing 1,200 shoes he helped collect while also conducting sports camps and leading a volunteer medical team of six doctors and five nurses that treated over 1,000 patients during four free clinics. Idonije created the Israel Idonije Foundation in 2007 with the focus on a program called “IZZYz KIDz,” which is designed to encourage and sustain students’ attendance, high achievement and good citizenship. In April 2010, he received the Ed Block Courage Award, which is presented to one player on all 32 NFL teams who best exemplifies a commitment to sportsmanship and courage and serves as an inspiration in the locker room. In January 2010 both the women’s and men’s hockey teams collaborated on a joint fundraising event featuring former Olympic player and Manitoba Bisons alum Vaughn Karpan as the guest speaker.

Webcasting/Twitter:

Bison Sports continued to offer webcasting for live Bison events during the 2009-2010 Bison basketball and volleyball conference games. Webcasting was done for Bison hockey playoffs (men and women) and the Bisons were the sole webcaster for the Canada West Women’s Hockey Final in Edmonton, where over 3,000 viewers watched the live broadcast during the two game weekend series. Campus Radio 101.5 UMFM is the home of all Bison Football live radio broadcasts for the last 10 consecutive seasons plus aired live Bison hockey games (four conference games each for women and men) in the 2009-2010 season. 2009-2010 saw a continuation of Facebook and Twitter Bison Sports accounts to give more access and awareness to 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 19th annual Duckworth Challenge, pitting the University of Manitoba against the Wesmen in volleyball and basketball varsity competition, was won in a 4-0 sweep by Manitoba on Oct. 6 – 7, 2009. The Bisons hadn’t done that since the inaugural year of the Duckworth Challenge, way back in the 1991-92 season.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 29

A quirky stat to finish the 2009 calendar season for Bison Sports: On the weekend of Nov. 13 – 15, 2009,, all Manitoba Bisons teams were victorious in Canada West conference play; eight consecutive wins by six different sport teams (women’s and men’s volleyball; women’s and men’s basketball; women’s and men’s hockey).

ACTIVE LIVING

Mr. Gary Thompson, Director, Active Living

The Active Living area is a new area to the Faculty and is comprised of Bison Recreation Services, Bison Children’s Programs and Bison Facilities.

Staffing

Welcome to and congratulations to Mandy Johnson and Tanya Angus who joined the Active Living Team as Directors of Bison Recreation Services Membership Services and Director of Bison Recreation Services Programs, respectively, in June 2009 and now co-lead the Recreation Services Team. Kerri Gregoire has assumed the position of Marketing Coordinator for Bison Recreation Services and has made a significant and positive impact on the visibility of Bison Recreation Services in her first year. Thank you Kerri! Jody Williams resigned from his position as the Facilities Manager to pursue interests in his and his wife Penny’s home of Portage La Prairie. We thank Jody for his 13 years of dedicated service to the Faculty and wish him and his family all the best. Simon Wang has assumed the position of Facility Manager. After working in this position for a six-month term after Jody’s resignation, Simon successfully competed for the permanent position. Congratulations Simon! Janice Grift resigned from her position as Director of Bison Children’s Programs in November 2009 to accept a position with the Manitoba Nurses Union. Thank you Janice for your passion and devotion to the Faculty. Jay Gamey has been appointed Interim Director of Bison Children’s Programs.

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 (2013) there has been considerable energy and time devoted to the development of the programming 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 Recreation Infrastructure Canada (RInC) Project An architect’s rendering of the proposed new (see Facilities report, Page 56) has begun and will be Active Living facilities. complete in March 2011. This project will allow us to better serve our customers and reach out to some of our customers who are typically inactive (women and cultural groups).

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 31

Facility Priorities: There has been some careful analysis of how the facilities are used, by whom 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 Rec Space to U of M students. This analysis will continue as we align strategic priorities with space availability.

Professional Development

• Active Living staff attended the Western Canadian Campus Recreation Conference in Edmonton in April 2010 • Active Living Staff attended the National Intramural Recreation Sport Association Conference in Anaheim, California in April 2010 • Active Living Staff attended session offered by the Human Resources Department entitled “Managing at the University of Manitoba “ in April 2010 • Active Living Staff attended a session on Customer Service Training provided by John Hindle • Jennifer Bryant, Coordinator of Fitness Testing and Conditioning, attended the “Children's Exercise in Health and Disease” session in July 2009

Strategic Planning

The focus over the last year has been — and over the next few months will be — on Bison Children’s Programs. BCP 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. Our hope is that we can optimize the immense opportunities for knowledge creation and dissemination that reside in the existing programs, and establish ourselves as the leader in North America in research and pedagogy for children’s physical activity.

Fund Development

The Active Living Fund was established this year as part of the Campus as a Community Initiative. This fund is designed to be used, as you may have guessed, for Active Living initiatives (programs , equipment, facility development) and currently has $9,000 in committed donations. Thank you to all of the donors for your generosity!

BISON MEMBERSHIP SERVICES

Ms. Mandy Johnson, Director of Membership Services

Preface

Bison Recreation Services (BRS) was restructured in 2009, which saw the creation of two Director positions reporting to the Director of Active Living (AL). With this restructure, BRS was identified as having two areas of service: Programs and Membership Services (MS). As such, this report follows what would have been submitted in the past as the Recreation Services report, and is representative of the MS area of BRS. A report for the Programs area has been submitted by the Director of Programs. The MS area now consists of the following components: Membership (Fort Garry and Bannatyne), Customer Service for the entire AL area and some programs offered by Bison Sport (Fort Garry and Bannatyne) and Fitness Testing and Conditioning (Fort Garry). This area is staffed by four full-time permanent coordinators: Membership Coordinator, currently vacant; Customer Service Supervisor, Maribel Abrenica; Coordinator of Membership and Customer Service – Joe Doupe Centre, Christine Majury; Coordinator of Fitness Testing and Conditioning, Jennifer Bryant. There are also a number of full-time permanent, part-time and casual staff that make up the remainder of the staffing group for the Membership Services area, including Customer Service Representatives (CSRs), Fitness Attendants (FAs), Fitness Testers and Personal Trainers. This area is also assisted by the Marketing Coordinator for BRS, Kerri Gregoire, who reports to the Director of Active Living, Gary Thompson.

General

The restructure of BRS and vacancy management have both presented challenges to the MS area this year. There are still some growing pains and a learning curve associated with the new positions created and in the filling of available positions within the area, some of which we have been unable to fill on a permanent basis. The general marketing for the MS area is handled by the Marketing Coordinator for BRS. Within each of the membership-related positions and the Fitness Testing and Conditioning position, there are also some specific marketing duties handled by each of the coordinators. With the current vacancy in the Membership Coordinator position, some of the community-based marketing activities are on hold, although the marketing plan for this area has been developed. This marketing plan will be revisited and executed once a Membership Coordinator is in place. BRS general marketing plan is currently being executed and includes both membership and program-related items as well as marketing generalized to the entire BRS unit. A risk assessment for the faculty was performed by Ian McGregor of McGregor and Associates. It is anticipated that this report will require further inquiry to the membership services area in terms of Emergency Action Planning and response, as well as the training and scheduling of staff in various

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 33

related areas to ensure that staff coverage is adequate for the volume of traffic and hours of operation of our various facilities. In addition, the potential exists for a Risk Assessment committee to be developed to address areas of risk on an ongoing basis. We look forward to receiving more information from the risk assessment report.

Membership

A total of 18,327 memberships were sold in 2009-10 for approximate revenue of $2.5 million. During this same period we had a total of 16,253 memberships that were active at some point during this period. Our average renewal rate for 2009-10 was 60%. These numbers include both Fort Garry and Bannatyne campuses. March saw the departure of our Membership Coordinator and long time BRS team member, Randy Sawatzky. Randy was a wealth of knowledge and experience in the Membership area and his contributions have certainly been missed. It is expected that we may have a new Membership Coordinator in place sometime in September 2010. The renovation of the gymnastics room and conversion to a gymnasium has been very well received by members as it allows a consistent space for Recreation Use (Rec Use) of gym. At times, Rec Use bookings are eaten up by other programming needs, so the addition of another space where this can be booked provides a consistent expectation of members that they will have access to play pick-up basketball or badminton or some other type of gymnasium-appropriate activity as part of their membership. The MS area partnered with Team Diabetes this year to provide memberships to some of the individuals involved in fundraising and training for Team Diabetes marathons around the globe. This provided BRS with some public exposure as well as the opportunity to be involved in some promotional events. It was a great opportunity to expose some new people to our membership and facilities and also provide them with a warm place to train for their event during the cold Winnipeg winter.

Services

A total of 3,302 locker rentals were sold in 2009-10 for approximate revenue of $275,000. Our average locker renewal rate is approximately 62%. These numbers include both Fort Garry and Bannatyne campuses. A locker audit was performed by the Customer Service team in the fall of 2009. As we continue to experience issues with the software management of our locker rentals, an audit became necessary to ensure that the workarounds done in the software matched the actual product that was available for sale. In addition, due to the disrepair and aging status of a number of our lockers and locker banks, the audit was helpful in terms of ensuring that we were selling only useable and repaired lockers to our customers.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 34

A locker sale was held in December of 2009. The sale was effective in meeting targets for locker sales and this was in large part due to the Customer Service Team and their successful approach to the sale and promotion of our locker rentals during the period of the discount promo. A total of 362 towel service rentals were sold in 2009-10 for approximate revenue of $17,000. Our average towel service renewal rate is approximately 54%. This was an area of service that saw a significant increase in revenue and this is perhaps due to our investment in, and promotion of, the quality and quantity of available rental product.

Customer Service

Vacancy management has created some significant challenges for our ability to provide quality customer service to the nearly two million visits per year. Our staff complement is normally 7.5 FTE, and at some times this past year has been at 3 FTE. A number of student and casual 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., most days and are open seven days per week, staffing shortages, high turnover and a lack of permanent opportunities for employment in this area 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, Bison/CSCM/TCVB athletes, University of Manitoba examinations, not to mention various visitors and inquiries). However, I am pleased and proud of all the staff in the CS area for working through this as a team and finding success despite challenging circumstances. Maribel Abrenica returned from parental leave in March, 2010. During her leave we were lucky to have Amanda Gill and Ashley Gagnon both step into the role of Customer Service Supervisor at times during Maribel’s absence. Due to vacancy management, we have also been working closely with some student CSRs and have been able to provide a second level of student employment for those students who remain employed with us over time and have the skills and abilities to pick up some of the slack of the vacant CSR positions. We are very grateful for the excellent work of all of these individuals and for their contributions to the team in addition to the steadfast efforts and contributions of our remaining permanent staff. We have also budgeted for and are seeking to pursue an Evening Coordinator position which would take on some of the supervisory role of the Customer Service area during our evening and night-time operating hours. This has become a necessity to providing a safe environment for our members and staff during the evening and weekends when full-time coordinators and directors are not available and also to reduce some of the workload for supervision of part-time employees from the current Customer Service Supervisor position. Online registration has for the most part been well-received by customers, despite a few remaining glitches and the process of having an account activated on the front end. The online registration feature was soft-launched in 2009 and was advertized in our Spring/Summer 2010 publications. Online Mini-U registration was also promoted heavily this Spring/Summer and some parents found that they prefer it to the in-person registration process. However, the fees associated with the software

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 35

company give some clients a negative impression and so efforts are being made to have the Customer Service budget absorb these fees from the customer. It is unclear at this point whether there will be enough funds available in this budget to cover these costs and this will need to be revisited for the upcoming year’s budgeting process. PCI compliance has added some challenges to our current business operations and we are doing our best to work through those challenges to ensure that we are compliant with PCI standards. Additional resources (staff time and funds) will be required to achieve compliance and this will likely be a work in progress over a number of months.

Joe Doupe

Our Joe Doupe Centre (JDC) Customer Service staff is made up primarily of U of M students and over the past year, the staff team has remained fairly consistent, meaning we haven’t had to spend resources on recruiting, hiring and training new staff and we can focus on developing and further training of the quality staff we currently have in place. In addition, a significant portion of the daytime customer service is provided by the three full-time staff in the various areas (MS, Programs and Facilities) and we have been working to ensure that those duties fall in proportion to the current areas of responsibility for each of those positions. Orientations for each of the student groups at the Bannatyne Campus are held in late summer. Our goal for JDS for the upcoming year is to make more meaningful connections with each of the faculties to ensure partnership with BRS and full participation in orientation activities that are hosted by JDC. Despite the unique campus environment, we would like to maximize our connection with the students and ensure that we touch as many students as possible to promote the benefits of active living on that campus. The JDC staff lead and organize Sneakers in motion Day at the Bannatyne campus every year in June and a charity is chosen to which all proceeds are donated. We are currently looking at ways to continue to drive charity choices along the lines of the benefits of active living and health promotion, and to provide opportunities for the community surrounding the Bannatyne Campus to be involved and to benefit from this event. In early March 2010, an Open House was held at JDC. There were 63 non-members in attendance who were given access to fitness programs, weight and cardio equipment, as well as the track and gymnasium. It is intended that this will be an annual event with incentives for current members and the intention to attract new members and participants to the facility. The Health Sciences Centre has opened a fitness centre for their staff and this has caused a decrease in membership in the JDC staff and HSC staff membership categories. We will be looking at adjusting our marketing plan to promote our facility and align our pricing to similar external staff groups at the Fort Garry campus in effort to minimize the effect of this direct competition in close proximity to our own facility. One of the strengths of our competitor is the quality and condition of their brand-new, state-of- the art exercise equipment and so we need to look at ways to highlight the strengths of our facility as it is clear we cannot compete with this facility’s state-of-the-art equipment at this time.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 36

We installed new signage on the 100 level of the Brodie Atrium to identify to anyone walking through the popular concourse that we are accessible on the 000 level of the building. Frosted glass prevents anyone from being able to see the track and gymnasium from the 100 level and so the thought was that prominent and attractive window decals would identify the space and direct people to it, as it is currently a hidden gem within the building. This along with orientation and open house events should increase our profile on the Bannatyne campus.

Fitness Testing and Conditioning

Foundations testing for FKRM students this year totaled over 370 tests provided by BRS staff to students in our faculty enrolled in the foundations class. This testing also provides the opportunity for new “testers” to gain experience in the protocol and interact with students participating in the testing. Professional development opportunities for our Coordinator of Fitness Testing and Conditioning this year included the Western Canadian Campus Recreation Conference, Children’s Exercise in Health and Disease Conference. In addition, Jen has achieved her CSEP Certified Personal Trainer Instructor status and so can now be involved in the education and training of CSEP-CPT, which is a potential career path for students in FKRM and staff in BRS. We have spent a great deal of time and effort on the Career Proposal which seeks to consolidate staffing in the area of Fitness Testing, Personal Training, Occupational Testing and Specialty Fitness. We are still crunching some numbers, but will likely be in a position to begin outlining positions and reporting structure such that we will be able to hire full-time staff in this area to replace the countless casual hours currently required for these areas. This will also reduce the amount of time and resources attached to the continual recruitment, hiring and training of casual staff who move on after only a short time with us as they pursue more stable and career-oriented employment. We Bison Recreation Services rep will now have stable and attractive employment opportunities for Marcus Morrisey (right) takes part in a fitness assessment. graduates of our faculty. Fitness attendant coverage in the Grotto moved from approximately 60% of our operating hours to nearly 100% of our operating hours. Industry standard is that a fitness area be staffed by qualified and certified individuals during all operating hours. This is necessary primarily for safety and emergency response, but also to keep a healthy and positive environment for all members in pursuit of their active living goals. Despite the significant cost increase to providing this amount of coverage, the benefit to members and our ability to monitor safety and respond in an emergency are greatly enhanced by this change and are very well worth the investment. Five Career Trek sessions were held which focused on highlighting and demonstrating components of fitness consulting to youth. Also, sessions for Children’s Programs school groups and Take Our Kids to Work day were conducted in the Fitness Testing lab. In addition, three of our staff assisted with the wellness fair put on by the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities. Our personal training revenue exceeded our targets despite our struggle to avoid turnover of PT staff. BRS strength and conditioning staff provided strength and conditioning services to Bison Sport, Junior Bison Boys Basketball, Premier Female Soccer, and Men’s Field Hockey Officials.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 37

The Fitness Testing and Conditioning area also was fortunate to have a Grade Twelve student placement from Vincent Massey Collegiate, Evan Mohr. Evan’s experience was both with the Customer Service Team and the Fitness Attendant Team. Evan enjoyed his placement with us and learned a lot about future steps to take to find employment in the field of health, fitness or wellness. Evan eventually secured part-time employment with us as a student CSR for a short duration of time.

Summary

In spite of some growing pains and challenges, overall the MS area has had a successful year. In looking ahead to the Career Proposal and Evening Coordinator opportunities as well as moving forward with a Membership Coordinator in place, things are bright for the MS area. In addition, the Fitness Testing and Conditioning area will be looking to move forward with some planning and development of population health and disease prevention strategies to provide new level of service to the campus community and beyond. Finally, looking ahead and participating in the plans for the development of the new Active Living Centre has provided MS staff with the opportunity to dream big, share their perspective and experience, and be a part of something that will likely be a legacy on campus for decades. It is with this energy and enthusiasm that we look forward to continuing to provide quality service and opportunities for active living for the wide variety of reasons and experiences that bring people to us and keeps them coming back.

BISON RECREATION SERVICES

Ms. Tanya Angus, Director, Recreation Programs

With the re-organization of Bison Recreation Services now coming to its first year, a few glitches and many opportunities have presented themselves, and the Bison Recreation Services Team is looking forward to having our first year under way.

Staffing

With the re-organization, there were many staff changes and we are feeling confident with our current team. Since the re-org, Amanda Gill has moved into the Coordinator of Adult Wellness & Leagues position BRS employees (from left) Tanya Angus, Mandy vacated when Mandy Johnson moved to the Director Johnson and Amanda Gill pitch in for Campus of Membership Services in July 2009. Ulla Liljegren Beautification Day 2010. returned to her position after an eight-month personal leave in August 2009 and Kyla Ray continued in her new role as Coordinator, Intramurals and Clubs. At Joe Doupe, Lori-Ann Mundt completed six months of a year-long term as the Recreation Coordinator until November 2009 and Kerri Chase completed the remaining six months. Kerri will continue in this role for a one-year term until July 2011. We were also fortunate to have two Fieldwork students, Leah Hornstein and Maryanna Grivic (from the Recreation Management and Community Development program) with us from September 2009 to December 2009. From the newly created Graduate Assistantship program, we also had Jia Jia from our Faculty’s Graduate program that worked with the Intramural and Club program for 10 hours a week from September until April 2010. Also in April 2010, Freshta Noor Nezami joined us from Winnipeg Technical College as a Fieldwork student that assisted with six weeks of administration work for Bison Recreation Services. Some highlights from our staff include two Intramural Supervisors and BRMCD students, Samantha Kaatz and Laura Meade, being selected to lead a presentation at the 2010 Western Canadian Campus Recreation Conference in Edmonton in April. The title was "A Discussion Concerning Motivations and Desires that Lead to the Involvement of Students in Recreation Based University Programs". Both Sam and Laura were very thankful for the opportunity to go to this conference and present, and agreed they learned a great deal. Kyla Ray received the annual Bison Recreation Services Impact Award at the Bison Recreation Services Staff Appreciate Banquet in November 2009. Well done Kyla! Impact Award winner Kyla Ray (left),

Administration

From an administrative perspective we have had many highlights, which are listed below in point form. • Developed a consistent refund, transfer policy between Bison Recreation Services and Children’s Programs. • Reviewed the on-line registration fee of $2/on-line transaction and 3% of all on-line registrations. For the upcoming year we will absorb this cost instead of putting it on the Customer. • Moved to on-line program evaluations and thank you/remind of next session e-mails to all program participants for fall and winter. Had some technical difficulties with Class sending out e-mails so we had to revert back to paper-and-pen method for winter, but are fine tuning this and hope to move to a less paper-dependent system for 2010. • Continued to develop cross-campus partnerships with several faculties and departments including Human Ecology (Nutrition courses and Lunch and Learns), Fine Arts (Photography class), Music (Guitar lessons), English Language Centre/International Centre for Students ( Soccer Special Event), and Student Affairs for the Student 101 Publications. • Began looking at all the data we collect and planning based on the findings. This included a thorough program evaluation analysis (how they hear about us, etc.), participant analysis (who they are, etc.) and a competitor price comparison analysis (which shows that we are at capacity for most of our programs.) This information will be gathered and reviewed on a bi-annual basis for more accurate planning. • The planning analysis above showed we needed to be more consistent, and therefore we began modifying all program sessions towards consistent weeks (9 weeks spring, 8 weeks summer) and moving towards 12 weeks for Fall/Winter. • Used the analysis also to develop several new program ideas for Fall/Winter 2010/11, and adapted many Special Events to focus less on sports but active recreation. • Participated in the Ian MacGregor Risk Assessment sessions and look forward to the final paper and moving forward on recommendations. • Reviewed all part-time employee files and credit card information which are now in the process of being stored in locked locations. • Pandemic Flu Planning, which prompted staff to have one online 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 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, which was consistent from Customer Service, and is located on the shared folder that all staff can access. • Developed a Staff Instructor Manual (draft format) for training of staff consistently. (Thank you to Children’s Program for sharing your resources.) • Implemented one of two annual program team meetings with Children’s Program for effective planning and consistent transitions from their programs into Bison Recreation Services programs.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 40

• Participated in several Campus Orientations, including the Access program, International Centre for Students, U1, and UMSU. • Staff participated in many RiNC and Active Living Centre meetings and planning. Looking forward to the new spaces within Frank Kennedy to be complete by March 31, 2011, if not sooner. • Participated in many Faculty class presentations such as Dr. Mactavish’s Advanced Program Planning, Colleen Plumton’s Program Planning class, Kyle Turcotte’s Foundations class and hosted a group of students from Dr. Van Winkle’s Special Events class for assistance in planning the 3-on-3 Hockey Tournament. • Introduced two Open Houses: One at Fort Garry and Bannatyne Campus. • 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 and employment opportunities. • Staff Professional Development opportunities included Western Canadian Campus Recreation Conference (WCCRC), 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. • Grants: Applied for two this part year, in motion, which we were not successful for, and the New Horizon’s Grant for Seniors, which allowed us to spend $10,000 on new equipment for our seniors programs. • Again secured the Pepsi sponsorship: $9,000 for the Intramural program. • Created a new resource for first-year Fall students with funds from previous pocket schedule. Will be based on new students to campus and all the information they need pertaining to Bison Recreation Services.

Intramurals

The access to IGAC and the soccer complex has had a significant impact on Intramural participation, as more students could participate and the quality of the experience for University of Manitoba students has been enhanced significantly. The five Intramural Supervisors did an excellent job overseeing their sports and made sure the program ran smoothly while learning a lot. This was the first year of formal, two-day training for the Intramural Supervisors, which will now carry over to include Intramural Officials and Club Executives for Fall 2010. New this year, a lottery was used for registration to avoid students having to wait in long lineups, and to provide better customer service. Term 1 registration numbers dropped 343 participants from Term 1 2008, despite an increase to promotion resources and efforts. Possible reasons for the decrease include tuition increase, facilities, times at Soccer Complex, and later lab times. Term 2 registrations, which are historically lower than Term 1, saw an increase in registration by approximately 200 students. There was also a 50% increase in teams registered for women’s 3-on-3 basketball from Winter 2009, and a men’s soccer program was introduced as a result of demand from participants, which was very successful.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 41

Lastly, the Intramural Banquet (third annual) was held at Wise Guys on April 1, 2010, and we had the best turnout yet. This event gets better every year as a result the Field Placement Program, which allows a student in the Recreation Management and Community Development Degree program the opportunity to plan an actual special event. This year we handed out two scholarships: Intramural Supervisor of the Year and Intramural Fair Play Participant of the Year. Awards for MVP (Most Versatile Player), male and female, were given to participants who take part in the most programs of the year and each received U of M backpacks and gift certificates to the Bookstore. The Intramural Official of the Year received a $175 gift certificate to the Bookstore. New Intramural programs to be introduced in 2010-2011 include Inner Tube Water Polo and Climbing. We will not be offering Touch Football or Ultimate.

Clubs

The Club program is the largest it has ever been with eight programs and 311 participants. We are looking at two new Clubs to be introduced next year: Rugby (men’s & women’s) and Table (if we can find the funds for tables). Inquiries from students interested in starting a club are received on a weekly basis. This is an area that can expand as there is a need but some more resources will need to be allocated to it. The 2010-2011 year will be the first year of Clubs having its own budget so accurate tracking can occur.

Special Events

There has been a great response for this area in 2009-2010, and there is a trend that students are looking to participate in non-traditional activities that do not require previous skills. Therefore next year many new non-sport base special events will be offered to this population such as Wii Madden Tournament, Board Game Olympics, UnAmazing Chase, and Exam Jam – Minute to Win it Challenge. The University of Manitoba Men’s and Women’s curling teams represented the province and the University at the CIS/CCA Curling Championships in March in Edmonton. The Men’s team had a very good showing with a 5-1 record in the round robin and they advanced to the semi-finals but lost to Queen’s with a final score of 5-6. The Women’s team never got started on the right foot having been left at the airport and then also at the curling club by the host organization. The final round robin record for the women’s team was 1-4. Despite the losing record the University of Manitoba Men’s Curling Champs girls had a great time and appreciated having the opportunity to attend. 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. We will also partner with the Alumni Association for the first Homecoming Fun Run/Walk/Stroll. Participants will take part in a 5km Run/Walk/Stroll on campus followed by a BBQ and then the Bison’s Homecoming Football game. This is also an area that can expand to enhance the University of Manitoba Student Experience, and — also new for this year — Special Events will have its own budget for more accurate tracking. More resources in this area would greatly assist its further development.

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 and the new Police Services Auxiliary Cadets testing that follows the same testing as the Winnipeg Police Service’s. Details are also being confirmed for another new group, Criti Care, which will begin in August 2011 following the same test as paramedics. This testing will occur three times a year for approximately 30 to 60 applicants each session. We were also successful in securing the Winnipeg Police Service and Canadian Forces contracts for the next years; however the Winnipeg Police Services contract is still renewed annually. The growth in this area continues to put significant strain on our staffing in other areas such as Fitness Attendants and Personal Training. We have begun to work closely with the BESS program to ensure that we have students that are eligible for employment and internships, and did hire six new consultants: Krissy Friesen, Geoff Thompson, Alex Edye-Mazowita, Ryan Hutton, Dave Kent and Lindsie Prevost. However, we have also lost some staff because of the lack of consistent hours and better wages at competing facilities. Occupational testing has also been affected by the economy as the WPS-PAT is postponed until January to February 2011, as they are not hiring more officers since current employees are delaying their retirement due to the current economic situation. This is the first time since we started testing for WPS that we will not have a summer recruitment. A similar situation is occurring for Fire/Paramedic testing as they are not holding a traditional large recruitment; instead they are only sending a few pre-approved recruits to be tested. Unfortunately, the proposal for the Winnipeg Police Service and Corrections Canada group that targets training for Aboriginal students has not developed since our initial discussions last year.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 45

Current numbers for occupational testing are as follows:

• Canadian Forces: 350 (300 hrs.) • Manitoba Conservation (PATCO): 42 (50 hrs.) • Winnipeg Police Services: 780 (600 hrs.) • Fire 54: (180 hrs.) • Winnipeg Police Services Auxiliary Cadets: 160 (180 hrs.) • Paramedic: (120 hrs.) • Conditioning Camps: 64 (240 hrs.) • Northwest Law Academy: n/a • Morden Police: n/a

Adult Instructional Programs (Fort Garry)

There were 878 people registered in our programs that include all Dance, Martial Arts, Learn to Activities (tennis, climbing, kayaking, learn to skate, guitar, photography, etc.), Pilates, Yoga, and Tai Chi. We continue to monitor our competition in the community and some competition on campus. Some Adult Instruction highlights include the following:

Fall 2009

• Two free Friday Zumba (Back to School Zumba) classes – had over 40 participants that then turned into a new noon-hour Zumba class in the fall. • Record enrollment in Zumba; generated $13,300.90 in revenue from Zumba • Record numbers in Belly Dance • Muay Thai program full; generated $17,656.33 in revenue from Muay Thai • Registration numbers in general were good for fall and tried some new marketing techniques such as a two-page info flyer, e-mail, UM e-news, etc., to promote classes that paid off.

Winter 2010

• Reduced the price of Climbing Fundamentals course to $25 (50% off sale) from cancelled classes to full classes. • New Kayaking instructors came on board (Jim Arthur & Dan Smith) and Kayak 1 & 2 registrations increased significantly. • Learn to Skate, Kayak 1, Climbing and Muay Thai were full for winter • Record registration numbers for Guitar

Spring/Summer 2010

• Kayak 1 was full and added 2nd Kayak 1 class • Hired a Graduate student & Yoga instructor, Allison Kealey. to instruct Thursday yoga class • A great deal of time went into planning for the Fall/Winter, see below.

Looking Ahead: Fall 2010 & Winter 2010

• 16 new programs lined up for the fall including:

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 46

• Two sessions of Beginner 2 Belly Dance • Cardio Latin Dance • Dancing Like the Stars – Beginner Ballroom Dance • A second Zumba class, Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., to capture the after-work crowd • Swing Dancercise • Capoeira Beginner and Continuing • Sikaran-Arnis and Wushu, new martial art classes • Women’s Self Defense • Nutrition for Wellness • Wellness Workshops, including Meditation for Wellbeing, Yoga workshop for Healing & Wellness, Meditation for a Calm & Focused Mind, Setting Intentions for the New Year, Detox Yoga • Relax & Rejuvenate Yoga (Yin Yoga) • Climbing for Fitness • Open Paddle Kayaking • Kayak Stroke Improvement Workshop • Kayak Wet Exit and Self Rescue Workshop • Kayak Rescues and Recovery Techniques • Kayak more ways to Roll your Kayak • Learn to Cross Country Ski • Learn to Snowshoe • Family Tennis • UMBL (new basketball league)

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: online registration for the 2010-2011 season. (Roughly 542 participants.) UMSL (Soccer League): The 2009 co-ed Soccer League remained very popular even though there was competition from the Winnipeg Rec Soccer League; maintained a full league of 16 teams. The Fair Play policy has worked very well here also. Plan to increase officials’ wages to be more consistent with our competitors. (Roughly 550 participants.) Lastly, after desperately trying to locate fields to play on, the UMSL did not run in 2010. We even tried to create an indoor league in the Max Bell Centre but had poor registration so the league was cancelled. We look forward to the next season with the new artificial turf fields. New: Online registration for the 2011 season.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 47

Fitness and Lifestyle

General Fitness classes still remain large and we currently offer approximately 27 classes in a week, during the peak of the Academic year (Sept. - Dec. and Jan. - April). There are roughly 12,635 participants in our Fitness programs. We are still struggling to find Manitoba Fitness Council Certified (MFC) and Trainers, in particular for aquafit classes. There is a lack of MFC trainers, which turns into a lack of courses and fitness instructors. MFC-run institutions have brought this forward to the MFC ED and Board, and we are told that they are working on offering another trainer course soon. There are numerous fitness centres in Winnipeg that are moving away from the Manitoba Fitness Council Certification program and going to the “Total Body Workout” system, and Good Life offers the “Less Mills” training. We feel that the TBS is lacking in training and may be risky to the customer so we are not pursuing this at this point, but are looking for ways to create more interest in our Fitness Instructor classes, and “Less Mills” is only allowed to be offered at Good Life. With regards to new MFC courses, we offered a new Urban Poling Teacher Training Certification workshop in March which was the largest session in Canada. We had 20 participants and Sharon Couldwell taught the course. Employee Wellness sessions are continuing to grow, in particular with Manitoba Hydro for three days with 150 participants each day from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., and four - five different activities per four, one-hour timeslots (they attend a keynote prior to coming to us). They are re-confirmed for three full days for this upcoming September. We also facilitated a team building session with the Department of Science in February and an in motion Workshop (on how to use dynabands) at the Millennium Library in January 2010. Approximately 95 participants attended the session, while expectations were for 50. (Roughly 500 participants.) Specialty Fitness Classes for the Fall/Winter such as Morning Boot Camp have been extremely popular with around 30 participants both Tuesday and Thursday mornings for 7:00 a.m. We currently run seven different specialty fitness classes weekly and four different Actively Aging, Older Adult classes weekly, including a new Urban Poling class at the soccer complex. (Roughly 245 participants.) Once again, successful Sneaker Day and Summer Active activities were held in June 2010 at both Fort Garry and Bannatyne Campus. We had over 350 participants for Sneaker Day and over 160 participants for Summer Active, which ran May 31 – June 25, 2010, and offered FREE sessions of Belly Dancing, Bocce Ball, Knackers, Pilates, Urban Poling, Wall Climbing, Walleyball, Weight Training Orientations, Yoga, and Zumba! Lastly, we were successful in receiving the New Horizon’s Grant for Older Adults which allowed us to spend $10,000 on new equipment for all of our Actively Aging programs. This was a great help to some of our older, existing equipment. The seniors were extremely excited!

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 48

Bannatyne Campus/Joe Doupe Recreation Centre

Joe Doupe continues to be very busy serving the Health Sciences Complex and is at its max during peak times. There continues to be a strong interest in the group fitness classes, yoga, kung fu, CPR/1st Aid and posture clinics for health care providers. The fitness classes continue to be well attended, and from September to July there were approximately 8,801 participants. In the Adult Instructional and Specialty Fitness areas we have been creative in marketing to the HSC staff and our current members by having some 35% off sales and matching pricing with HSC. The Bosu and Body Bar classes were also full in the fall session, and winter session numbers were good, but not full. (Roughly 320 participants.) Joe Doupe also has an intramural program with roughly (Fall: 127, Winter: 149) participants. Despite the hectic schedules of the Medicine, Dentistry and Medical Rehab students, there is a problem with a general lack of structure and many games being defaulted due to teams not being able to show up for all their games. Many students get frustrated with the canceled games so we asked them for input and next year there will be a two-tiered default fee, that they suggested so we will see how it goes. Unfortunately the benefit of having the new U of M Indoor Soccer Complex eliminated the participants from the Joe Doupe Indoor Soccer league and therefore it had to be cancelled. Another challenge for Joe Doupe is that the Health Science Centre just opened a 24-hour fitness centre within the same HSC building as Joe Doupe. Because of this we created new ways to encourage our participants to remain in our classes by offering sales on classes, and flyers about the great benefits you receive from participating at Joe Doupe. We will continue to monitor this. The Sneaker Day event was a huge success at Joe Doupe with 202 participants, and raised $900 for the William Norrie Centre fitness program; this was an increase in 52 participants and close to $200 more raised in comparison to last year. Lastly, a new partnership was created with the William Norrie Centre (Faculty of Social Work, satellite Campus) inspired by Dr. Joannie Halas, that allowed us to oversee the staffing of a Fitness Instructor 3 days a week, equipment purchase and payroll of this FREE fitness program to students and staff at the Centre. It has been a great partnership that has been funded through Dr. Jon McGavock and grants from in motion and the Point Douglas Winnipeg Regional Health Community Services Grant.

BISON RECREATION SERVICES — MARKETING

Ms. Kerri Gregoire, BRS Marketing Coordinator

Street Team

Bison Recreation Services (BRS) hired eight U of M students in September 2009 to act as Campus Recreation Ambassadors (the Street Team) throughout the 2009-2010 school years. Our team interacted with thousands of U of M students in a fun, dynamic way in an effort to increase the BRS brand awareness on campus and of the many programs and services we have to offer. September and January are peak seasons for the Street Team where they are working 10-15 hours per week. Throughout the rest of the school year, the Campus Recreation Ambassadors (from left) Street Team focuses on promoting upcoming Special Lyndsay Lambert, Cassandra Cure and Jaye Events, memberships, promotions we are offering and Rynar, members of the Bison Recreation Active Living! Services Street Team.

IMCG – U of M Integrated Marketing Communications Group

I sit on the IMCG, a U of M Communications Committee lead by Public Affairs. Over the past year, we’ve seen the U of M launch a new website, and undergo Phase One and Two of a Visual Identity Update.

 Visual Identity • Public Affairs is updating the University’s visual identity guidelines – making them current, as well as making them a stronger and more effective resource for those representing the university in their marketing and communications efforts • Within the guidelines we’ll be developing a stronger common look and feel to help us achieve a greater degree of unity across campus • The objective for doing this is to represent the brand in a more consistent manner, but at the same time provide flexibility for faculties/units to differentiate where necessary • An internal advisory group has been struck to help with this process and we have engaged our agency McKim Cringan George to work on the project with us • The process will involve sharing the recommendations with a group of deans to get their perspective

 Website • The U of M launched the new website template in the spring and hopes to have all faculties/departments on board with the new templates over the next year. Bison Recreation Services will be working with Andre Worms throughout the fall/winter months in preparation to move to the new templates before the Spring/Summer 2011 session.

Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 50

• We really like the look and feel of the new template, and are looking forward to the move. The new template is in Red Dot which BSAL is not currently using, and we anticipate a heavy workload for Andre during the move and to keep up with regular site maintenance. This is something that will definitely have to be monitored at the Faculty level.

BRS Brochures

Over the last few years BRS has been working diligently to be more environmentally friendly and cost effective with our promotional marketing pieces by reducing the number of brochures printed. Traditionally, we print two brochures each year (Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter). In 2009-2010, discussions about eliminating the brochures altogether were a hot topic, but we still have a few supports that need to be put in place before removing the brochure altogether. The goal over the next few seasons will be to have user friendly email/online newsletter database and electronic versions of our brochure available for our students, staff and community participants. We have some work to do with our website, but with the launch of online registration over the last year, more and more people are starting to rely on our site for program & service details, and hopefully in the future more interactive usage.

Fresh New Ideas

In addition to the traditional marketing strategies BRS has executed in the past, we’re looking at a few new channels this year. Examples include: • Lifestyle Pass • Interactive Games • University One Clipboards • Wellness Champions • Leisure Guide • Social Media Strategies • Study Break Book • Referral Promotion

Campus Recreation Impact Study

BRS would like to participate in a Campus Recreation Impact Study, a comprehensive research approach to assessing campus recreation. http://www.studentvoice.com/app/views/about/partnerships/NIRSA.aspx Details of the study: • Impact of campus recreation offerings on student recruitment and retention • Student utilization of different recreational facilities, activities, and programs • Student satisfaction with facilities, activities, and programs • Recreational needs and expectations of students and other constituents • Social, academic, emotional and health-related outcomes of utilizing campus recreation • Operational issues such as promotion of recreation activities and accessibility of facilities and programs • Professional development of staff and student employees • Cost-effectiveness of programs and services

BISON ATHLETIC THERAPY CENTRE

Ms. Tracey Nyczai, Director

Bison Athletic Therapy Centre staff attended the 2010 National Athletic Trainers Association Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in June. This conference was a first for us and we learned a great deal of new information that we are able to incorporate into our client treatments. There were speakers from all over the world presenting on a vast number of topics. Each one of us brought home new ideas and skills to utilize in the clinic. This year, Byron Bahniuk partnered with the University of Manitoba’s Physical Plant department to present 10 workshops on Preventing Spinal Injury in the Workplace. The workshop consisted of a short lecture on Bison Athletic Therapy Centre staff (from left to right): common spinal injuries and how to prevent Mandy Los, Lori Nickel, Tracey Nyczai, Barb Hirose and them as well as a practical session Byron Bahniuk. demonstrating a daily work preparation stretching routine. The workshop was well received! Byron also presented this workshop to Manitoba Hydro employees as part of a Wellness Expo hosted by Bison Recreation Services. We hope to make these presentations an annual event. For the third year in a row, we were the recipient of a $500 National Athletic Therapy Month Award for our promotions of this event during the month of June. Many posters and signage were visible throughout the faculty and across campus during this month. Beginning in April, we expanded our clinic hours and are now open from 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday for Athletic Therapy appointments. Massage Therapy is offered Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, from 1:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. The BATC was also involved in a number of campus events including Take Your Kids to Work Day, Parents Program, and Career Trek. Being on hand for these events allows us to create greater awareness of our profession and our clinic, and we look forward to being a part of these events in the future.

Bahniuk at work.

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 two to 16 years. Approximately 11,000 children participated in these programs and over 300 University of Manitoba students received invaluable employment training experience.

Summer Program

In its 31st year, Mini-University continued to be the largest summer youth program in North America. In the summer of 2009 registrations were maintained compared to the previous year, with approximately 6,300 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. All camps have a physical activity component and we have something for children of every age and ability. A number of new programs were introduced: Water Polo, all new Bison Ice Camp programming including Conditioning and Scoring camp, Intermediate and Elite hockey schools, Special Interest programs such as Create-a-Game and Kid-netic Energy, which is run in conjunction with the WISE program (Access Program for Women in Science and Engineering) out of the Faculty of Engineering. Mini-University is non-profit and would not exist without 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 sponsor 180 “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. Online registration became an option for customers for the first time with our Mini- University programs. The new online process was well received by customers as we saw 53% of business happening online.

Fall/Winter/Spring Programs

The fall/winter programs include Recreational and Educational Gymnastics (fall only). Music Movement and Jungle Gymnastics, , , Karate, Learn to Skate, Rock Climbing and a variety of hockey skills programs. Our 27th Spring Break Camps ran with great success. The programs saw a record-breaking 175 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 an all new 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 third 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 75 schools participated in field trips to the University, including four groups who stayed in residence for two nights while attending Mini-U activities during the day. In addition 12 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 13th 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. All children receive a poster that helps track their individual progress with extra recognition including badges and certificates. 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

Bison Children’s Programs was awarded one of the Reh-Fit Foundation’s Healthy Living Awards on April 15, 2010. The programs were selected as the recipient for ‘outstanding contribution to building community wellness’ in the category of Non-Profit Organizations. Brenda Krueger accepted the award on behalf of Jay Gamey as he was out of the country at a conference.

Professional Development and Representation

Jay Gamey represented the Bison Children’s Programs at the NIRSA (National Intramural Recreation Sports Association) conference in Anaheim, California, from April 20 to 24th, 2010. The conference is set for campus recreation organizers across North America to join and discuss successes in their respective areas. Ideas related to appropriate learning outcomes and management of data collection were brought back, as well as professional development strategies related to time management, student engagement and customer service.

Strategic Planning

On April 30, 2010, the Faculty hosted a strategic planning day off- campus for the Bison Children’s Programs department. The planning session saw representation from Bison Sports, Recreation Services, Children’s Programs, Academics and the Faculty of Education. Rosalyn Howard led the group throughout the day and compiled the collected feedback. Great discussions related to increasing children’s physical activity levels and the Faculty’s involvement came out of the day. The day was seen as a productive session and will be of great use in developing a new strategic plan for the department in the near future. Gary Thompson, Director of Active Living, will be putting together the new strategic planning.

Personnel

Janice Grift resigned from her position as the Director effective Nov. 13, 2009. Jay Gamey was appointed the Interim Director effective Dec. 21, 2009.

Facility Upgrades

Renovations to the public washrooms on the second floor of the Max Bell Centre were completed in December 2009. New stalls, sinks and counter tops were installed along with a fresh coat of paint. Through the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) Program, the Faculty received $240,000 in funding towards a renewal project to upgrade community used athletic/recreation facilities in the University’s Frank Kennedy Centre, which started in January 2010 and is expected to be completed by March 2011. Included in the upgrades is the conversion of a gymnastics room to a multipurpose gymnasium, conversion of a doubles squash court to a circuit training area, conversion of a squash court to a spinning room, construction of family change rooms, and conversion of a recreation room to a yoga studio. From left: Acting Vice-President (External) John Alho; Dr. Jane Watkinson, Dean of The conversion of the gymnastics room to a multipurpose FKRM; and Rod Bruinooge, MP for Winnipeg gymnasium was completed in April 2010.

In addition, full court basketball with two power lift glass backboards was added to the Gold Gym. Re-keying of the Frank Kennedy Centre was completed in March 2010. After the re-key, 653 new keys were issued as of June 2010. The re-keying process was an enormous undertaking, however a new key system was long overdue considering that the building opened in 1972. Upgrades to the fire alarm system in the Frank Kennedy Centre were completed in May 2010. All life safety devices in the building were replaced to meet new fire code requirements. Phase One of the audio-visual upgrades to Conference Room 238 in the Investors Group Athletic Centre was completed in April 2010. Upgrades included a ceiling mounted data projector, new screen, new wall
