I have represented BC at many National Championships over the years including the Legion Championships, BC Summer Games, and both Junior and Senior Canadian Championships, represented a Canadian University by competing for Simon Fraser University for four years, and also had many incredible opportunities to represent Canada on the international stage as a junior and senior level athlete including the Olympic Games. Over the years, these experiences have given me great insight into the process of becoming a successful athlete and I am continuously learning new skills to elevate my ability and reach my full potential. Even though athletes focus on the challenges that lay before them on the road, course, track, or field there are also challenges that lie behind the scenes of competition. After being the BC Athletics Athlete Representative for the past 2 years, the contributions that I have made to discussions have been valuable and constructive. An athlete's perspective is crucial to assisting the Board of Directors overcome challenges during planning and preparation for events, team selection, and athlete support. I would like to continue to be a representative for all athletes and I look forward to helping create positive changes that can make a difference within our provincial sport organization. Thank you for your consideration and taking the time to vote! .

Jeux De La Francophonie”
Pinisi Journal of Art, Humanity and Social Studies Vol. 1 No 1, 2021. Page 44-53 e-ISSN : 2747-2671 Homepage: https://ojs.unm.ac.id/pjahss/index Rethinking Culture Through “Jeux De La Francophonie” Gloria Mayen Umukoro Department of Modern Languages and Translation Studies, University of Calabar, P. M. B 1115, Caalabar- Nigeria. * [email protected] Abstract This study exploits the idea of rethinking culture in Francophonie games using the survey research design. The study conceptualizes Francophonie games into sports and cultural competitions and rethinking culture into physical and non-physical aspects of cultural modifications. Three specific objectives are developed on the basis of the research problem as follows (1) Identify the relationship between the ‘Jeux de la Francophonie’ and the dissemination of the French language (2) identify the various rethinking culture modifications borne out of the Francophonie games, (3) determine the moderating influence of race on rethinking culture and “Jeux de la Francophonie”. Participating athletes in the last concluded “Jeux de la Francophonie” held in Abidjan were interviewed. Secondary sources of data also considered. Findings reveal that the Francophonie games is not a driving factor for the dissemination of the French language among non-French speakers. In addition, sports competition with physical rethinking culture, culture completion has no significant relationship with non-physical rethinking culture in “Jeux de la Francophonie”, and that race does not play a moderating influence in rethinking culture and Francophonie games. The study recommends among other things the introduction of variety of cultural games like voodoo, traditional cooking competition, traditional fashion parade etc.

The 5Th Francophonie Sports and Arts Festival: Niamey, Niger Hosts a Global Community
African Studies Quarterly | Volume 10, Issues 2 & 3 | Fall 2008 The 5th Francophonie Sports and Arts Festival: Niamey, Niger Hosts a Global Community SCOTT M. YOUNGSTEDT Abstract: This paper explores transnational and local cultural, political, and economic dimensions of the 5th Jeux de la Francophonie (“Francophonie Games” or “Francophonie Sports and Arts Festival”) held in Niamey, Niger in December 2005. The Jeux were designed to promote peace, solidarity, and cultural exchange through sports and the arts. This paper focuses on the kinds of discourses that were represented and celebrated in the social and political arena of the Jeux. It aims to contribute to the discussion of (1) the politics of Francophonie concept, (2) the negotiation of local and global politics in the context of major sports and arts events, and (3) the representation of local, national, and global politics in public ceremonies. The Francophonie Community Seeks Solidarity through the Universal Languages of Sports and Arts This paper explores transnational and local cultural, political, and economic dimensions of the 5th Jeux de la Francophonie (“Francophonie Games” or “Francophonie Sports and Arts Festival”) held in Niamey, Niger in December 2005.1 Approximately 2,500 athletes and artists, and hundreds of their coaches representing 44 member nations of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) competed in seven sports (track and field, basketball, boxing, soccer, judo, African wrestling, and table tennis) and seven arts (singing, oral storytelling, literature, dancing, painting, photography, and sculpture). While all participants in the Jeux reside in member nations of the OIF, choices of athletes and artists were based on the excellence of their performance and not on French literacy.

Avec elle, il semble que nous ayons entamé un nouveau cycle dans la vie du mouvement sportif. Un nouveau cycle caractérisé, outre la magnificence des Jeux de Pékin remar- quablement organisés (the best games ever), par un approfondissement des rapports entre le sport, le mouvement qui le porte et la société. Un approfondissement qui vaut évolution et diversification des liens du sport et de ses célébrations avec toutes les représentations de la vie sociale comme de l’opinion publique. Que ce soit lors du parcours de la flamme Olympique qui s’est retrouvé être le théâtre de données géopo- litiques, avec l’affirmation de la conscience des athlètes et leur attachement aux valeurs humaines promues par l’Olympisme, ou par la rupture de la trêve Olympique au moment de la cérémonie d’ouver- ture, les événements du début de cette nouvelle Olympiade sont venus donner tout leur sens aux débats sur la reconnaissance de la spécificité et de l’autonomie du mouvement sportif à tous ses niveaux de représentation.

Assemblée Générale Handisport
masPV d’Assemblée générale Handisport LA CHAPELLE-SUR-ERDRE – Samedi 6 avril 2019 1. Accueil par la Présidente Guislaine WESTELYNCK Ce fut un réel plaisir d’être parmi vous pendant les trois jours de ces Journées Nationales Handisport. Je pense que tout le monde en retire une certaine satisfaction à la fois de s’être croisés, rencontrés, d’avoir participé à des ateliers qui étaient tous très intéressants, et qui préparent l’avenir aussi. C’est un rendez-vous annuel et essentiel. Ces journées ont pu se dérouler grâce au comité régional des Pays de la Loire, et surtout grâce à Annie PERY et toute son équipe qui sont à pied d’œuvre déjà depuis plusieurs jours. Je ne veux pas oublier de citer ici l’équipe fédérale qui s’est également mobilisée sans compter Cédric, Francia et Justine. La plupart de nos partenaires ont été présents durant ces trois jours. - Les partenaires Publics : L'Etat, la région, le département de Loire Atlantique et la ville de la Chapelle sur Erdre. - Les partenaires privés : EDF, Malakoff Médéric Humanis, le groupe Renault, le FIPHFP. Il m’appartient de déclarer ouverte cette assemblée générale, en introduction je ferai un point d’horizon très succinct. En effet, le DTN et la secrétaire générale seront beaucoup plus éloquents que moi. L’année 2018 a été l’année des Jeux Paralympiques d’hiver l’équipe de ski a été particulièrement performante. Ces jeux nous ont encore une fois permis une reconnaissance médiatique dans l’excellence Handisport. Et à ce propos, je voudrais remercier Emmanuelle ASSMANN, pour avoir si bien animée l’équipe de France en qualité de Présidente du CPSF durant cette période.
