    www.cjfl.net “For all your CJFL Information & News” The CJFL TOTAL THURSDAY Newsletter Brought to you by Issue 3 – Volume 1 "The CJFL gratefully acknowledges the support of the following Sponsors" "The Canadian Junior Football League provides the opportunity for young men aged 17 to 22 to participate in highly competitive post-high school football that is unique in Canada. The goal of the league is to foster community involvement and yield a positive environment by teaching discipline, perseverance and cooperation. The benefits of the league are strong camaraderie, national competition and life-long friends." History of True Sport In 2001, Canada’s Federal-Provincial/Territorial Ministers responsible for sport came together to bring ethics and respectful conduct back into the way Canadians play and compete. They believed that damaging practices—cheating, bullying, violence, aggressive parental behaviour, and even doping—were beginning to undermine the positive impact of community sport in Canada. The first step they took in turning back this negative tide was the signing of what is now known as the London Declaration, an unprecedented affirmation of positive sporting values and principles. The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport conducted a nationwide survey in 2002, which made clear the important role that sport plays in the lives of Canadians, as well as Canadians’ strong desire to uphold a model of sport that reflects and teaches positive values like fairness, inclusion, and excellence. In September of 2003, leading sports officials, sports champions, parents and kids from across Canada came together through a symposium entitled “The Sport We Want.” Several strong messages emerged from this gathering.

Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.

  • The Use of Human Behaviour to Inform Egress Modeling in Stadiums
    THE USE OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR TO INFORM EGRESS MODELING IN STADIUMS DANIELLE AUCOIN A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CIVIL ENGINEERING YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO APRIL 2019 © Danielle Aucoin, 2019 Abstract With growing concerns of public safety in infrastructure where large crowds gather, designing for egress under normal and emergency conditions is pertinent to ensuring efficient and safe conditions in stadia. There is a need for a large database of publicly available pedestrian movement profiles through experiments and the evaluation of relevant case studies. This thesis outlines novel human behaviour data collection at two stadia. Subsequent egress model validation using the MassMotion Advanced Crowd Simulation Software (MassMotion) was performed and measured total egress times. Although demographics and anthropometry in the stands slightly influenced the egress times, the stadium architecture was the governing factor which impeded pedestrian flow under non-emergency conditions. Analysis of a stadium fire case study allowed for evaluation of this conclusion during an evacuation which revealed that behavioural aspects of both occupant and staff may begin to dominate the egress simulation in an emergency context. ii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my supervisor Dr. John Gales for introducing me to this field, being a great mentor, and making this research venture possible. I would also like to thank those in my research team for being supportive colleagues during my time at York University, including Bronwyn Chorlton, Ranim Dahli, Lauren Folk, and Ben Nicoletta. Those who have provided significant contributions to data collection efforts are thanked and include Chloe Jeanneret, Natalie Mazur, Kate Montgomery, Josh Woods, Kiara Gonzales, and Hailey Todd.

Baseball in Canada SAMUEL R. HILL* INTRODUCTION Baseball scholars and historians have long accepted that Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball in Cooperstown, New York in 1839.' Doubleday's baseball legend survives, however, as part of baseball folklore; Americans would likely deride the suggestion that a foreign country created baseball. Yet, Canadians recorded a "baseball" game played in 1838 in Beachville, Ontario.' Does the Canadian record debunk the Doubleday baseball legend? The answer, in all likelihood, is no. The modem-day game of baseball most resembles the form of baseball developed in New York in the early nineteenth century.' Canadian baseball, however, developed on a parallel and often intertwined path with that of its American counterpart, and played an instrumental role in shaping baseball as we know it today.

  • Made in America the Blue Jays Land in Toronto, April 1977
    EMMA PLATOFF MADE IN AMERICA THE BLUE JAYS LAND IN TORONTO, APRIL 1977 In 1977, Toronto embarked on the ambitious project of bringing baseball to the Great White North. So eager was Hogtown to host baseball, that, having settled for a subpar stadium, city leaders took care to spell out the game’s rules, lingo, and mathematics to the newspaper-reading public, hoping to convert thousands of Torontonians into baseball’s first Canadian fanbase. The trappings of baseball culture in the States were an integral part of the move—from the songs to the drinks in the stands—all of which became incor- porated into a new synthesis of baseball and Canadian culture. Graham Ambrose, BR ’18, colorfully captures the Toronto Blue Jays’ thrilling first season and popular success. Visiting the machinators behind baseball’s rise to success as well as public’s reactions, the follow- ing pages are an immersive look into the pastime’s often-surprising first years in Canada. By Graham Ambrose, JE ’18 Written for “Quebec and Canada, 1791-Present” Professor Jay Gitlin Faculty Advisor: Jay Gitlin Edited by Christine Wang, Gillian Page, and Heidi Katter 29 MADE IN AMERICA Toronto alderman George Ben had earned a reputation for sternness. A veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War,1 Ben exhibited little patience for the more frivolous ventures of the Toronto City Council. Across fifteen years in public ser- vice, few such ventures proved more frivolous to the Spartan, Slovakian-born lawyer2 than the arrival of Major League Baseball in Toronto.

  • Toronto in Season: 1986 and After
    Toronto in Season: 1986 and After Mark Kingwell Not many people would honestly claim to miss Exhibition Stadium. As a venue for professional sports, rock concerts, monster truck rallies, or really anything at all, it was, to say the least, poor. Baseball games, especially those early-season contests that mean so much to winter-addled fans, were marred by sleet and snow. More than one home opener I attended became an exer- cise in human endurance, not to mention an unpleasant punchline to tired American jokes about life in igloo-land Canada. Even in summer, high winds and seagulls blew in from the nearby lake to play havoc with long-ball flightlines and Dave Winfield put-out throws alike. Football season was a constant weather crapshoot and by late in the CFL season the place was all but uninhabitable. The sole Grey Cup game I attended at Exhibition Stadium was also the single most miserable sporting event experience in my memory bank, a bone-chilling rain-to-snow ordeal unredeemed by pulls of whisky from a smuggled flask. The sightlines were such that big outdoor shows — Queen, Michael Jackson, and David Bowie are the ones I remember from the early 19805, each one of them somebody else's idea — had to be reproduced on a massive television screen to avoid having the protagonists reduced to barely visible posturing miniatures. It was a terrible place, in short, and everybody knew it. The buildings that have overtaken it in our civic fabric, the SkyDome and the Air Canada Centre, are at least impressive attempts to solve problems of exposure and location that Exhibition Stadium by nature could not.
