  • SPONSORSHIP PLAN on the Road to the World Ultimate & Guts
    From: Rebecca MacPherson Sub-Item 1 Sent: Friday, January 22, 2016 4:27 PM To: Mayor & Council Subject: Sponsorship Proposal Dear Mayor Walter Sendzik, I live in your riding and I would like to bring your attention to a sporting event in which I will be participating this summer. I currently play competitive ultimate and I have been selected to represent Canada at the World Ultimate and Guts Championships in London, UK in 2016. Our team of 27 players will compete in the women’s masters division (30+ years old) against teams from other countries including Japan, Finland, Italy, Germany, Columbia and the USA. The tournament, which will run from June 18 to 25, 2016, showcases the best talent from around the globe, as each country participating in the event sends only one team per division. Ultimate, a fast-growing sport that values spirited fair play at all levels from recreational to elite, was granted full recognition by the International Olympic Committee in 2015. The sport is played in more than 80 countries around the world in elementary and high schools, in college, in recreational leagues, by competitive club teams and in two professional leagues in North America. To represent Canada to the best of our abilities, my team is seeking sponsorship and financial support to help us achieve our goal of winning the tournament. The core of our team (which is based in Montreal) won gold while representing Canada in 2014 at the World Championships and we are excited to have the opportunity to do it again. Your participation in our fundraising campaign will help cover some of the costs inherent in undertaking this adventure, including player fees, tournament and travel costs, field rental for practices, etc.

And by examining the thematic links between and across stories told by Ultimate players, it provides a nuanced understanding of what Ultimate means to the people who play. Ultimate has rapidly evolved into a worldwide competitive amateur sport, and enjoyed exponential growth as a popular recreational game that is currently played in organized leagues in most major urban centres across North America by men, women, and youth.

The proposed facility would be attached to the WFCU Centre and primarily serve turf-oriented uses with some consideration of non-turf uses. HSP was also requested to investigate the addition of an outdoor turf field with a seasonal dome. The primary aim of the facility is to increase local usage with the additional potential to host major events. HSP met with or interviewed sport user groups from the local area, provincial-level organizations and national governing bodies to determine the local opportunity as well as the potential to host tournaments. The available facilities for most sports in Windsor (and most larger facilities across Ontario), as well as the current and likely future demand, were analyzed and profiled as part of the HSP study.

All of these materials were sent initially back in June to ensure you had sufficient time to review them in advance of Congress.
