The Royal Canadian Legion New Brunswick Command The Royal Canadian Legion New Brunswick Command Track & Field Overview and History 1975 - Present Introduction: This document is an attempt to record the history of the Royal Canadian Legion’s involvement with track and field in New Brunswick. The Legion National Youth Track & Field Championships are Canada’s premier and only nationwide competition for youth track and field athletes from across the country. The championships are truly national in scale as the Legion supports teams from all provinces and territories in Canada. The national program began in 1975 as a weekend training camp with only four (4) provincial Legion Commands participating. In 1976, the weekend training camp was held again with athletes from six (6) Commands taking part. In 1977 the first week long camp and national championships took place and this format continues today. New Brunswick Command has been involved in track and field since 1959. Before the start of the national program we held District and provincial track and field meets throughout the province. The large part of this document was prepared by Harold Nicholson. He was a member and Executive Officer of Hartland Legion Branch # 24; a longtime member and 22 year President of Athletics New Brunswick; a teacher; a coach; a Legion team chaperone; and a member of the Provincial Track & Field committee. In 2012 he was awarded the national “Investors Group Volunteer Sport Administrator of the Year Award” and in 2014 was posthumously inducted into the Athletics Canada Hall of Fame. On July 24, 1998 while working on a combined document of the New Brunswick Legion, Canada Games and Jeux de la Francophonie teams Harold wrote the following – “The following list of athletes and staff who have comprised the New Brunswick provincial teams since the inception of the Jeux du Canada / Canada Games in 1969 and the Royal Canadian Legion Age-Class Teams in 1977 is a small attempt to record a part of the history of our sport in this province. This listing is built on a previous effort started in 1993 and then left to rest, in part resulting from a lack of understanding as to where to look for further information. With the coming of the 1997 Canada Summer Games in Brandon, Manitoba, the writer's interest was again sparked and a great deal of effort was spent in looking for the original work (typed on two pages). This list was expanded to include the team representing N.B. at the Eastern Canadian Espoir Championships in 2002. With the gracious assistance of Graham Blake at the Fredericton Public Library (Reference Section) and telephone calls to Suzanne Coffey (Sport, Recreation, & Active Living Branch, M.C. & H.) and former Head Coaches, Art Gremley and Ed Skiffington and coach Roly Mcsorley and the reports from the 1989 and 1993 Games Teams, as well as Dominion Command, Royal Canadian Legion along with other coaches and volunteers in the Legion Program, what is presented here is as complete as possible. 1 This effort at documenting part of the competitive history of Athletics New Brunswick is now preserved on computer disk and, hopefully, will be continued into the future.” He continued working on the document until 2012. Since that time I have had the honour of carrying on his desire to record the history of the Legion track and field program in New Brunswick. The following pages contain the names of the New Brunswick Command Legion team members that attended the national competition as coaches; chaperones; and athletes, broken down into two age categories. Athlete names are followed by the community where they resided. The writers accept responsibility for any errors or omissions in the various team lists and would be very grateful for any additional or corrected information available.

The Legion’s national youth athletics program has come to be regarded as one of the best in the country. In fact, many of our former participants have gone on to international and Olympic success. Through the success of this program, many youth have been taught the value of leadership, teamwork, and many more skills necessary both on and off the playing field. We have been able to encourage many characteristics that can come from working in a team environment, as well as being exposed to a variety of cultures across Canada. It is through our sports program, youth education programs and other youth initiatives that the Legion helps strengthen the younger generation and the future of Canada. 1950s – IT ALL STARTED WITH ONE BRANCH The Legion’s interest in Track & Field extends back to the early 1950′s. During the early years, the Ontario Legion Hydro branch, No. 277, with the leadership of the late Bob Saunders, chairman, Ontario Hydro, and the late George Duthie, manager of the sports department, Canadian National Exhibition, sponsored the former Canadian Olympic Training plan. The Hydro branch sponsored a series of projects to provide financing for this program, including invitational track meets and big name performances. The success of this program prompted the branch to forward a resolution to the 1956 Dominion convention of the Legion held in Vancouver, requesting, and receiving, the Legion’s dominion-wide support of the Olympic Training Plan. 1957 – THE LEGION BEGINS CONDUCTING NATIONAL ATHLETE’S CLINICS AND TRAINING CAMPS In 1957 The Royal Canadian Legion entered the national track and field scene, when it undertook to finance The Canadian Olympic Training Plan. From 1957 to 1961, the Legion conducted national athletes’ clinics in Toronto, with each province being invited to send a team of selected athletes and coaches. For the initial four years, the program was under the direction of coaches Franz Stampfl, Don Canham and Dave Rankin. During that time, more than 700 athletes, and a number of coaches attended the clinics, each culminating with track and field meets at The Canadian National Exhibition. In 1962, the federal government awarded a grant to the Legion in support of the first Canadian National Clinic for track and field coaches at Guelph, Ontario (this support continued until 1969). The 1962 clinic was under the direction of world-renowned Geoffrey Dyson, former British national coach, with John Disley, John Savidge, Denis Cullum, French coach Jacques Bergougnous and nine well-known Canadian coaches assisting. 1 The Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command http://www.legion.ca/youth/youth-track-and-field/history-of-the-championships/ 3 In addition, four summer and three winter training camps were held, which were attended by a total of 475 young track and field athletes. At the conclusion of the 1962 coaches’ clinic, Geoffrey Dyson accepted the position of the Legion’s sports training program coordinator for a 5-year period. During this tenure, more than 1,300 coaches received the benefit of the program, with an additional 2,500 coaches receiving training at provincial and regional clinics. 1963 – THE LEGION DEVELOPS SOME OF THE FIRST TECHNICAL PERIODICALS ON TRACK AND FIELD In 1963, the Legion recognized the need for Canadian technical periodicals on track and field. As a result, COACHING REVIEW and THE TRACK AND FIELD ANNUAL were produced. This program, made possible by the unique organization and resources of the Legion, combined with the support of the federal government, passed into history in 1969, when the Fitness and Amateur Sport Directorate of the Department of National Health and Welfare advised that, as a result of a study of policies and guidelines relating to grants under the Fitness Act, no further federal financial support would be available. 1975 – THE FIRST CANADA-WIDE TRACK AND FIELD MEET WAS ORGANIZED From then until 1975, the existing track and field programs only went to the provincial level. In 1975, a Canada-wide pilot track and field meet was conducted at Waterloo, Ontario. It was such a resounding success that a second national meet was held in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1976, which also proved to be a great success. The two pilot camps showed that there was a need, and that young Canadians certainly gained from the experience. 1977 – THE LEGION FUNDS NATIONAL TRACK AND FIELD In keeping with the Legion’s commitment to our youth, funds were allocated for National Track and Field camps starting in 1977. Funds are still being allocated, with planning of future camps commencing five years in advance. Since 1977 the Legion has invested millions of dollars to hold national annual track and field camps to provide training and competition at the national level for young track and field athletes. The camps provide these youths opportunities to mix with other athletes, coaches and chaperones from all parts of Canada. In addition to the national commitment local Legion branches, in concert with their provincial commands bid for the right to host this event. As such the location varies from year to year providing national exposure and experience to all parts of the country. 1985 – PROGRAM EXPANDED TO INCLUDE COACHING CERTIFICATION In 1985, the program was expanded to include coaching certification courses. With the co-operation of the Canadian Track and Field Association, and the Coaching Association of Canada, highly qualified coaches and clinicians from across Canada conducted the courses and also took part in the clinics for the young athletes. 4 1997 – THE DOMINION COMMAND ATHLETIC CAMP CHANGES ITS NAME TO TODAY’S LEGION NATIONAL TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIP In 1997, the name of the Dominion Command Athletic Camp was changed to the Legion National Track and Field Championships.

  • May Be Xeroxed
    CENTRE FOR NEWFOUNDLAND STUDIES TOTAL OF 10 PAGES ONLY MAY BE XEROXED (Without Author' s Permission) p CLASS ACTS: CULINARY TOURISM IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR by Holly Jeannine Everett A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2005 St. John's Newfoundland ii Class Acts: Culinary Tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis, building on the conceptual framework outlined by folklorist Lucy Long, examines culinary tourism in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

  • Striped Bass (Morone Saxatilis) Population Characteristics and Spawning Assessment in the Bouctouche and Cocagne Rivers
    STRIPED BASS (MORONE SAXATILIS) POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS AND SPAWNING ASSESSMENT IN THE BOUCTOUCHE AND COCAGNE RIVERS PREPARED BY: CHARLES COMEAU, NATHALIE LEBLANC-POIRIER, MICHELLE MAILLET, DONALD ALEXANDER PRESENTED TO: THE SOUTHEASTERN ANGLERS ASSOCIATION WILDLIFE TRUST FUND FISHERIES AND OCEANS CANADA JULY 2013 1. INTRODUCTION Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is a native anadromous fish species of the North American Atlantic coastline that spawns in fresh or brackish water. In the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of St Lawrence watersheds, spawning occurs in May and June. Juvenile Striped bass then migrate downstream to brackish waters and eventually salt water to feed and grow until they have reached maturity, a process that normally takes three to four years. Striped bass was considered a commercially important fish before it was designated as a threatened species by COSEWIC (the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) in November 2004. However, because there was such a decline in the population, Striped bass met the criteria for being listed as an ‘‘endangered’’ species. The Striped bass population of the Gulf of St Lawrence was ultimately designated as ‘‘threatened’’ because of the high degree of resilience of this species and the high abundance of spawners found prior to the designation. It is therefore important to gather more information on the current Striped bass population in rivers and estuaries draining into the Gulf of St Lawrence. According to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) of Canada, there is no evidence that Striped bass spawn successfully in any other rivers in New Brunswick other than the Northwest Miramichi river (DFO, 2011).

    JOURNAL OF NEW BRUNSWICK STUDIES Issue 1 (2010) “I want to know my bloodline”: New Brunswickers and Their Pasts Margaret Conrad, Natalie Dubé, David Northrup, and Keith Owre Abstract New Brunswick is a product of wars fought from 1689 to 1815. During these wars, all of which included battles on North American soil, the social relations among the First Nations, French, and British inhabitants were forged, often in blood. These conflicts became the foundation for mutable but seemingly mutually exclusive identities that are documented in a recent survey of New Brunswickers on how they engage the past in their everyday lives. In this paper, we describe the eighteenth-century context in which many New Brunswick cultural identities were constructed and address the findings of the Canadians and Their Pasts survey in a province where popular engagement with history is complicated by diverse perceptions of the past. « Je veux connaître mes origines. » : les gens du Nouveau-Brunswick et leur passé Résumé Le Nouveau-Brunswick est le produit de guerres ayant eu lieu entre 1689 et 1815. Pendant ces guerres, qui ont toutes eu des batailles en sol nord-américain, des relations sociales se sont tissées entre les Premières nations, les Français et les Britanniques; souvent, ils étaient unis par les liens du sang. Ces conflits sont à la source d’identités mutables, mais qui étaient, en apparence, mutuellement exclusives et qui ont fait l’objet d’une récente enquête qui portait sur les gens du Nouveau-Brunswick et sur la façon qu’ils évoquent le passé au quotidien. Dans cet exposé, nous décrivons le contexte du 18e siècle dans lequel de nombreuses identités culturelles du Nouveau- Brunswick se sont formées et nous nous penchons sur les résultats du sondage portant sur les Canadiens et leur passé et ce, dans une province où l’engagement populaire envers l’histoire se complique par les diverses perceptions du passé.

  • Help Pass Enabling Legislation That Would Give Municipal Governments
    *Action Alert* from the *NBEN Pesticides Caucus* Help pass enabling legislation that would give municipal governments in New Brunswick the authority to pass bylaws banning or reducing the use of cosmetic and non-essential pesticides. Dear concerned citizen, In November 2007, an amendment to the New Brunswick Municipalities Act will be presented to the Legislative Assembly. This amendment would give municipal governments the authority to pass bylaws banning or reducing the use of cosmetic and non-essential pesticides. With the current legislation, municipalities who adopt pesticide bylaws are taking the risk of being challenged in court by the pesticide industry for not having the authority to do so. Four New Brunwick municipalities - Caraquet, Shediac, St. Andrews, and Sackville - have enacted bylaws banning non-essential pesticides, and they have yet to be challenged by the pesticide industry. This amendment to the Municipalities Act is crucial for the complete ban of non-essential pesticides in N.B. Liberal MLA Chris Collins (Moncton-East) is making great efforts to support this bill. In July 2007 his son died at the age of 13 from a type of cancer linked to pesticide exposure. Although we know that the Minister of Health, Michael Murphy, is in favour of the amendment, it remain unclear how many other MLAs will support the amendment. For it to be adopted, a government bill needs to gain the support from the majority of Cabinet (N.B. Ministers), then the majority of Caucus (Liberal MLAs) and then it must gain the majority from the Legislative Assembly (all New Brunswick MLAs). We must lobby all cabinet ministers and all MLAs (regardless political affiliation), in favour of the amendment.
