  • Ottawa … There Used to Be a Ball Team There the History of Professional Baseball in Ottawa from 1993 to the Present
    Ottawa … There used to be a ball team there The history of professional baseball in Ottawa from 1993 to the present By Todd Devlin Jan. 3, 2010 Wayne Scanlan had heard the rumours of deterioration at the old ballpark, but he’d yet to see it himself. A long-time sports columnist at the Ottawa Citizen, Scanlan was already having a difficult time adjusting to his first summer in 16 years without pro ball in the city. But it only got worse when he took a trip down Coventry Road in July of 2009 to see what had become of Ottawa’s once-beautiful ballpark. It wasn’t a pretty sight. “The city had it all locked up so no one could use the place, and there was debris around the outside of the stadium,” said Scanlan, who was a regular at the ballpark over the years, both as a columnist and as a fan when it featured some of the best ball in the country. The playing surface itself was in shambles. The once-picturesque infield, which had been carefully manicured for 16 years, was covered with weeds. “Giant ones,” Scanlan said. “Like a couple feet high. There were even weeds overrunning the warning track in the outfield. It was pretty sad.” So sad, that it prompted him to write a column in the Citizen about the stadium’s sorry state of affairs. Fortunately, the city responded, cutting the grass, pulling the weeds and generally cleaning things up at the stadium that once played host to future major-league stars.

  • A Case Study of Ottawa Hao Pan Thesis Submitted To
    THE ROLE OF SPORT IN CITY BRANDING The Role of Sport in City Branding: A Case Study of Ottawa Hao Pan Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Master degree in Human Kinetics School of Human Kinetics Faculty of Health Sciences University of Ottawa © Hao Pan, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 THE ROLE OF SPORT IN CITY BRANDING ii Abstract In the first decades of the twenty-first century, cities around the globe are increasingly seeking to use various branding techniques to uniquely position themselves on the world stage. They do this via points of difference they hope corporations, institutions, and individuals recognize as having value; the intention being a variety of investments in those cities, primarily economic, but, often, via the ingress of human talent. That high-performance and mega sport events (e.g., IOC Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup, and F1 Grands Prix) have often been used to provide such points of difference is very well documented. However, the use of other, less high profile, forms of community-based recreational sport and physical activity in city branding activity has not received much attention. This thesis aims to begin to redress that imbalance. Initially, the thesis describes sporting activities as taking place on a continuum, and proposes a conceptual model to illustrate the notion: the continuum’s end points are labelled ‘upper-case’ for high-performance sport, and ‘lower-case’ for more community-based activities. Subsequently, and using a sample of senior leaders involved in the management of the municipal branding of Canada’s national capital, and various other engaged individuals, the thesis examines perceptions of various modes of sporting activity in the city branding process.
