In an interview with The Havana Reporter, Martínez - a tourism advisor in Mexico and Central America - noted that despite difficulties in the supply of resources, Cuba has maintained constant development. She added that the investments made in the sector are not addressed to a specific market but rather, to the whole world. In this sense, she mentioned that many of the ongoing investments in Havana are related to the city’s 500th anniversary, on November 16. “The actions undertaken on the occasion of Havana’s 500th anniversary will not stop this year; they will continue until 2021, as a lot of investment is being made in hotels. For instance, the Packard was a building in ruins and today it is a wonderful piece of architecture as a result of the renovations,” she commented. According to the official, other actions are focused on the Paseo del Prado, a promenade that treasures a long history and several legends. Restoration programs also address patrimonial hotels in the city’s historical center, the Malecón (seawall), traditional festivals including the Bolero and Danzón, and the city’s carnival, to take place in August. The 500th anniversary of Havana is a special event for citizens of Havana as well as foreigners visiting the island, she said. “Tourists who come to Cuba today not only want to enjoy the sun and the beach, but because Cuba is more than that, tourists also come for the culture, the cuisine, the show an authentic Cuba to all who are interested, contrary to the media’s profile of environment and the interpersonal exchange, which are Cuba’s great treasures. That’s Cuba,” the official added. what captivates foreigners and makes them feel at home,” Martínez commented.

EU Ambassador Defends Rapprochement with Cuba By LauraBECQUER HAVANA.- Ambassador of the European Union (EU) to Cuba Alberto Navarro defended rapprochement with the island following 20 years of “turning its back” on Havana. According to Navarro, Havana and Brussels – the institutional capital of the 28-member union – are experiencing a “honeymoon period” after being apart for a long time. The current position was redefined just two years ago. In an interview with The Havana Reporter, Navarro noted that the Cuba-EU Joint Council held on May 2018 fostered a collaboration that been developing since the 1990s through the European Community Humanitarian Aid Office. However, the diplomat recalled that the then Spanish president José María Aznar had implemented the so-called ‘Common Position’ in the EU, a policy that practically froze ties between EU countries and Cuba. Twenty years later, Brussels abolished the initiative and completely redefined relations with Cuba by signing the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement.

  • Panam Travel
    Item No. 31 April 26, 2011 To: The Board of Governors of Exhibition Place ACTION REQUIRED From: Dianne Young, Chief Executive Officer Subject: Observer Program: Guadalajara 2011 Pan/Parapan American Games Summary: This report recommends that a representative of Exhibition Place’s Pan Am Project Team join the City’s TO2015 Observer Program to attend the 2011 Pan American Games (October 12th to 30th) taking place in Guadalajara, Mexico. Recommendations: It is recommended that the Board approve travel by Jeff Gay, Director of Event Management Services, to the 2011 Pan/Parapan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, with the City’s TO2015 Observer Program in order for Exhibition Place to better assist with planning and preparing for the Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games. Financial Impact: Increased tourism to Guadalajara for the 2011 Pan/Parapan American Games will cause increased demand for flights and hotel rooms and will cause costs to rise. For this reason it is expected that travel costs may be in excess of $3,500, but will not exceed $4,000, and that pre- approval from the Board will be required. Decision History: On Friday, November 6, 2009, it was announced that Toronto won in its bid to host the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games. Further to the announcement, City departments, agencies and boards with a role in planning for the games have designated lead representatives to become members of the City’s interdivisional Pan Am Project Team. Dianne Young is Exhibition Places’ representative on the City’s Project Team. Issue Background: Exhibition Place has been selected as a major site for the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games and it would be extremely useful if a member of the Exhibition Place staff could join the City Team as an Observer along with representatives of the Federal and Provincial governments.

  • Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.

    The Roemer Foundation/USDF Hall of Fame | Inductees | Keen (1997) http://www.usdf.org/halloffame/nobanner/profiles/keen.asp Presented in Tribute to Keen 1966-1989 This 17.2 H Thoroughbred, trained by Hilda Gurney, dominated U.S. dressage in the mid-1970's. He earned 5 USDF FEI level titles, Gold and Silver medals at two Pan Am Games, Bronze team medal at the '76 Olympics, and competed at age 19 at the '84 Olympics. Information: Purchased by California dressage pioneer Hilda Gurney for $1,000 from a Thoroughbred breeder in 1969 at the age of three, the gelding Keen (Money Broker - Mabel Victory) embarked on a new career: dressage. Saved from being traded for cattle (he had been laughed off the racetrack because of his large size), Keen started his training. The chestnut gelding swiftly worked his way through the levels, dominating the U.S. dressage scene in the mid-1970s. He captured the USDF Horse of the Year title at the International levels in 1974, 1976, 1977, and 1978; and in 1979 he earned the titles at both Grand Prix and Intermediate II. At the 1975 Pan American Games in Mexico City, Keen and Gurney won individual silver and team gold medals. At the Montreal Olympic Games in 1976, a historic moment in American dressage, the pair placed fourth individually and helped bring home the team bronze, the first U.S. Olympic medal in dressage since 1948. Keen went on to place fourth in the Grand Prix Special in Aachen, Germany, in 1978 and seventh at the World Championships at Goodwood, England.
