March 6, 2014 RE: BC’s Guide to the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games To our partners, supporters and fans of British Columbia’s Paralympic Athletes, On behalf of the entire team at the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific (CSI Pacific) I am proud to share this informative ‘Guide to the Games’ with you. The information contained within will provide you with an insider’s view of the athletes who have a connection with British Columbia (BC) and who are competing at the Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. In 2010, Canada won a total of 19 medals, with athletes who have a BC connection contributing 74% of Canada’s total medal haul. In 2014 we expect the Province of BC will once again be a key contributor to Canada’s medal count. 12 athletes with a BC connection have been named to the team for a total representation of 22% of the Canadian team. For the most up to date results be sure to stay tuned into our website: http://www.csipacific.ca/content/MediaCentre/Events/2014ParalympicWinterGames.asp Safety and security have been front of mind for many Canadians as our athlete’s prepare to perform on the biggest stage in sport. We have the utmost confidence that the International Paralympic Committee and the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee will deliver an outstanding Paralympic Winter Games. The Canadian Paralympic Committee continues to work very closely with government and security forces in Canada as a cornerstone of their preparation for Sochi 2014. This preparation extends to a close collaboration with the Organizing Committee in Sochi and the host nation, Russia, who are responsible for all security matters relating to Sochi 2014. As with other Games, our safety and security measures are always adapted to each environment. With that said, enjoy the Games and the many amazing performances to come. Go Canada Go!

WHAT IS CLASSIFICATION? Classification provides a structure for competition. Athletes competing in Paralympic sports have an impairment that leads to a competitive disadvantage in sport. Consequently, a system has to be put in place to minimize the impact of impairments on sport performance and to ensure the success of an athlete is determined by skill, fitness, power, endurance, tactical ability and mental focus. This system is called classification. Classification determines who is eligible to compete in a Paralympic sport and it groups the eligible athletes in sport classes according to their activity limitation in a certain sport. 2. TEN ELIGIBLE IMPAIRMENTS The Paralympic Movement offers sport opportunities for athletes with physical, visual and intellectual impairments and these can be divided into 10 eligible impairment types. Impaired muscle power: With impairments in this category, the force generated by muscles, such as the muscles of one limb, one side of the body or the lower half of the body is reduced, e.g.

It was under review is the reply from Ottawa! In 2013, there were four Meritorious Service Cross (civil) awarded in Canada. No MSCs had not been given since 21 April 2005. It was an odd mixture - of the four MSCs, one already had an MSC (military) and would receive an Officer of the Order of Canada within a year (Chis Hadfield); one already had the Order of Canada (Clara Hughes) and one had died (Sarah Burke). The other was to the Mayor of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. All were well deserved. And all looked very political. This then raises the question, will the MSM (civil) again be awarded or will this become a little used medal. In the past, Canadians who received Olympic gold medals received Meritorious Service Decorations but this stopped with the review. I know several of the MSM (civil) recipients and they are outstanding citizens, well deserving of their honour and they wear the honour proudly. Suddenly, in the Canada Gazette of 02 January 2016, a large number of MSC and MSM (civil) awards were announced. No other announcement about what the review found or request for nominations.

    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture 2018TAC0019-000432 March 19, 2018 B.C. Paralympians and Team Canada celebrating PyeongChang 2018 VICTORIA – British Columbia’s Paralympic athletes are celebrating 16 medals from the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games. “Like all British Columbians, I am so proud of our athletes who competed at the Paralympics in PyeongChang,” said Lisa Beare, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture. “These Games have been an amazing achievement for competitors and our sport development programs. I was thrilled to see so many of Team Canada’s Paralympians were B.C.-based. Our government supports a strong sport system that enables our athletes to pursue their goals and dreams – and these results demonstrate its success. Congratulations to athletes, coaches and everyone who contributed!” Of Team Canada’s 55 Paralympians, 43.6 % (24) have a B.C. connection – double B.C.’s representation on the Paralympic team at Sochi 2014. This includes athletes who call B.C. home, as well as those from outside of B.C. who train in the province with the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific or regional alliance partners. “It has been a spectacular Paralympic Winter Games in PyeongChang for Team Canada, bringing home a record number of medals,” said Wendy Pattenden, CEO, Canadian Sport Institute Pacific. “These inspirational athletes have proven themselves on the world’s biggest stage, and it’s our privilege to work with so many of them and their national sport organizations. It is with the support of our strong provincial sport system that they are able to show the world what they are capable of.” British Columbia-connected athletes earned 57% of the Canadian Paralympic Team’s total medal count, including four gold, three silver and nine bronze medals.
