At home, Field Hockey Canada is proud of our diverse and inclusive community - one comprised of strong clubs and provinces throughout and across the country. 2018-2019 has proved to be one of the most daunting yet exciting of a series of challenges for the national sport leadership group, both Men‘s and Women’s National Team athletes, federal, provincial and club partners. Despite significant financial commitments and fundraising targets for both Men’s and Women’s National Teams, Pan American Games’ Silver medals were achieved by each team and a further opportunity for Olympic qualification. As Board Chair, I look forward to leading and providing the governance required to bring success at all levels and in all areas of our sport. Hopefully this annual report gives you some perspective to the amazing work our organization is doing and the challenges that are set in front of us.

  • Curling: VM-Premiär För Lag Hasselborg Idag Lördag
    Skip Anna Hasselborg vid OS i Sydkorea 2018. Foto: © WCF Richard Gray. 2018-03-17 12:09 CET Curling: VM-premiär för lag Hasselborg idag lördag För knappt tre veckor blev lag Hasselborg olympiska mästare. Nu väntar nästa stora mästerskap för Anna Hasselborg, Sara McManus, Agnes Knochenhauer, Sofia Mabergs, Jennie Wåhlin och coach Maria Prytz. VM i North Bay, Kanada startar idag lördag och med svensk premiärmatch mot Danmark. Curling.se träffade Agnes Knochenhauer några dagar innan avresan mot VM i Kanada – Vi har haft drygt två veckor hemma efter OS-guldet. Första veckan var det mycket media och andra uppdrag men även prioritet på att vila. Nu laddar vi batterierna med tid för våra familjer och genom att vara tillbaka i träning. När vi är på plats i Kanada blir det fullt fokus mot VM och det ska bli roligt att tävla igen, säger Agnes. Nyblivna olympiska mästare, favoriter och siktet inställt på medalj även i VM – Vi har ju ingen VM-medalj så det är inget snack om vad vi går för. Men som vanligt är det många tuffa lag att möta och viktigt att vi lyckas ställa om och fokusera, säger Agnes. Curling är en av världens snabbast växande vintersporter. Det återspeglas också i VM som fr.o.m i år utökas från 12 till 13 länder. Antalet speldagar är detsamma men nu väntar 12 matcher i grundserien och sedan två eller tre matcher i slutspelet. – Det är en riktigt lång turnering med många matcher så vi måste fortsätta med att vara noggranna och ha en bra planering för att hinna ladda om mellan alla matcher, säger Agnes.

C’est un privilège et un honneur d’être votre Chef de Mission ici aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 2014 à Glasgow, en Écosse. J’ai d’incroyables souvenirs de mes expériences aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 2002 et 2006 et selon moi, il s’agit vraiment de Jeux uniques. Les Jeux du Commonwealth nous unissent tous par notre passion commune pour ce que nous procure le sport, que ce soit du pur plaisir à la fierté de la réussite. Les Jeux occupent également une place spéciale dans le cœur des Canadiens, puisque c’est au Canada qu’ils avaient vu le jour : nous avons été les premiers à les accueillir à Hamilton, en 1930. Ces Jeux sont une compétition de calibre mondial et ils jouent un rôle important pour le sport canadien, en plus d’occuper une place de choix au calendrier sportif international. Soyez assurés que tous les Canadiens et Canadiennes vous encourageront avec enthousiasme alors que vous déployez toute votre force physique et mentale ici à Glasgow. Dans mon rôle de Chef, encadrée par tous les membres de notre équipe de Mission dévouée, nous mettrons tout en œuvre pour vous appuyer tout au long de votre cheminement.

Since 2008 when the Council of Richmond appointed the Board to oversee a legacy operation that is efficiently run, financially viable and not a burden to taxpayers, the Oval revenues have been on an upward financial trajectory with the 2015 performance continuing that trend. In 2015 we continued to work closely and collaboratively with our stakeholders and sport groups to enhance our programs and services, to strengthen our membership base and to expand our reach through diversification of our offerings. It is gratifying to see continued growth in these areas. Of particular note in 2015 was the successful bid to become the training centre for Volleyball Canada’s Women’s National Team, and the launch of the three much-anticipated new lines of business: the lobby retail store (ROX Shop), the dedicated yoga studio and the grand opening of the Richmond Olympic Experience, which saw over 3,000 visits from Richmond residents in its first weekend.

The downpour overwhelmed pumping stations in Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa causing toilets, showers and floor drains to overflow in some neighbourhoods. “The toilet was just overflowing, it was like a geyser,” said Whitby resident Sue Lytwyn. Ms. Lytwyn and her husband Bil fought the flow, eventually opening the door of their walkout basement so the water could flow out. For the Annes Street residents, this was Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo the third flood in eight years.
