  • Urban Governance, Policies, and the Long-Term Impacts of the Olympics
    Advanced Olympic Research Grant Programme 2014-2015 IOC Olympic Studies Centre Final Report: Governing to maintain legacies: urban governance, policies, and the long-term impacts of the Olympics Mark Davidson School of Geography, Clark University June 2015 1 Abstract Every Olympic host city now pursues an array of legacy goals, ranging from increased sports participation rates and environmental remediation, through to widespread economic redevelopment. With the array of legacy objectives growing, the task of generating and maintaining legacy pledges is becoming ever greater for Olympic cities. This project investigated how four recent host cities – Atlanta, Sydney, Salt Lake City and Vancouver – have gone about the production of Olympic legacy over the medium and long term. The focus of the research was upon the urban governmental practices and reforms that have been undertaken in each city. The research found that the four cities have different post-Games legacy trajectories. However, a number of trends emerged across the different cases, including: the centrality of community development to post-Games venue management, the relationship between hosting models and legacy outcomes, the emergence of trusts and foundations within the legacy project, the tendency for legacy to become site specific over time, and the importance of localised governmental structures to the project of legacy governance. The report ends with a series of conclusions and recommendations. Key words: Olympic legacy, governance, urban, case studies, geography 2 Executive Summary The issue of legacy has moved to the centre of the Olympic agenda (IOC, 2013). This research project examined how four different host cities – Atlanta (1996), Sydney (2000), Salt Lake City (2002) and Vancouver (2010) – have engaged with legacy over the medium and long term.

  • Mcdonald's Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic Letterhead
    P.O. Box 30031, RPO Parkgate, North Vancouver, B.C. V7H 2Y3 www.challengergolf.ca Dear Golfer, This is a special year for the McDonald’s Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic as we move towards a major milestone in fund raising. After 16 years, we are on the verge of passing the One Million Dollar mark this year which is such a special moment for us after all these years. Currently we have raised over $940,000 for various children’s charities in BC while creating “A Million Memories” for the kids. We would like to invite you to join us in Celebrating “A Million Memories” on Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at the Meadow Gardens Golf Club, in Pitt Meadows. The McDonalds Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic is the largest annual fund raiser for Challenger Baseball in BC. The Challenger Baseball program gives children with cognitive or physical disabilities, the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of playing organized baseball “In a league … On a team … In a uniform”, just like their able-bodied peers, while creating “A Million Memories.” It is because of your participation, donations and generous sponsorships that we are able to celebrate “A Million Memories” with all proceeds staying here in BC going to support various children’s charities across the province. The main beneficiary is the BC Challenger Baseball program, but we also support the Canucks for Kids Fund, Ronald McDonald House, and the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Foundation. This event is well known as a fun filled day of “scramble” golf and socializing, while raising funds for some great charities.

  • CTV Re Coverage of the Fatal Luge Accident at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games
    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL NATIONAL CONVENTIONAL TELEVISION PANEL CTV re coverage of the fatal luge accident at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games (CBSC Decision 09/10-0895+) Decided November 12, 2010 R. Cohen (Chair), H. Pawley (Vice-Chair, Public), D. Braun (ad hoc), M. Harris (ad hoc), F. Niemi, T. Reeb THE FACTS On February 12, 2010, just prior to the commencement of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, a Georgian luge athlete named Nodar Kumaritashvili experienced a tragic accident during a practice run at the Whistler Sliding Centre. He flew off his luge coming out of a steep turn (corner 16, called “Thunderbird”), was projected off the track, and struck one of the support posts. The accident was caught on film by CTV (a member of the Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium and the principal English- language broadcaster of the Games), and was broadcast at various times that day, both as news of the accident was breaking and again later once it had been confirmed that Kumaritashvili had died from his injuries. The video was approximately 40 seconds in duration. It showed Kumaritashvili going down the luge track at a very fast speed (said to be 143 km/h). Multiple cameras were placed along the track so that the television audience could see his and all other runs from different points along the track and at different angles. When the luger flew off the sled, viewers heard a clang, which was presumably the sound of the luger’s helmet hitting the post. Kumaritashvili’s limp body was partially obscured by other posts in front of the camera, but the CTV audience saw a number of people, mainly on-site medics, running towards the man.

  • Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century
    Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century by Kelsey Blair M.A., University of British Columbia, 2014 M.A., University of Toronto, 2010 B.A., University of British Columbia, 2007 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Kelsey Blair 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Kelsey Blair Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century Examining Committee: Chair: Clint Burnham Professor Peter Dickinson Senior Supervisor Professor Dara Culhane Supervisor Professor Coleman Nye Supervisor Assistant Professor Ann Travers Internal Examiner Associate Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Susan Bennett External Examiner Professor Department of English University of Calgary Date Defended/Approved: April 16, 2019 ii Abstract Richard Schechner, one of the founders of performance studies, urges scholars to expand their conceptualization of performance to include a broad spectrum of framed and/or displayed human behaviours. While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.
