  • The Olympic Industry ______
    ANTI-2010 Information Against the Olympic Industry _________________________________________________________ No Olympics on Stolen Native Land 1 Anti-2010: Information Against the Olympic Industry Introduction Welcome to Anti-2010; Information Against the Olympic Industry, a special report by No2010.com based on over two years of research and maintenance of the No2010.com website. It is designed as a print publication to be distributed to those without access to the internet, or who prefer printed material to computer screens. Despite this, it is only a fraction of the information now available on the website (so check it out!). Some parts are designed as 2-4 page leaflets of their own for specialized distribution (or low budgets). No2010.com was established in the spring of 2007 to provide information for anti-Olympic resistance, to educate and inspire others, and to post regular updates for the movement. It is maintained by Indigenous rebels in occupied Coast Salish Territory. Thanks to a comrade in Montreal, 100,000 stickers were printed with the slogan 'No Olympics on Stolen Native Land' & the website address. These stickers have been distributed across Canada. In addition, a 'Militant Merchandise' section has been added to the site, which has t-shirts, patches and stickers for sale. You can support No2010.com by purchasing these products (via Paypal). On the website there are also PDFs that can be downloaded and copied that you can distribute in your area, including SportsAction (direct actions against 2010 chronology) and this publication. We are currently working on a special print edition/PDF focusing on the 2010 Torch Relay.

Space Matters: The 2010 inW ter Olympics and Its Discontents Description The history of the Olympic Games is fraught with racism, class privilege, and questionable leadership from the International Olympic Committee (IOC). In the modern era, the Olympics have generated an increasing scale of dissent. Activists challenging the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver adopted concertedly spatial strategies and tactics. Organizing around three main issues—indigenous rights, economic concerns, and civil liberties—they linked in solidarity with civil libertarians, human rights workers, and bystander publics. This article analyzes these activist actions through the lens of geographical theory, examining how the production of space, scale bending, and the calculated construction of discursive space helped anti-Olympics activists build camaraderie and foment a meaningful challenge to the Games that resonated with the general public. Activists in Vancouver were effective, and before the Olympics dock in London for the 2012 Summer Games, it makes sense to pause and reconsider their methods of dissident citizenship.

  • And Squash Canada As a Result Of
    SPORT DISPUTE RESOLUTION CENTRE OF CANADA (SDRCC) No: SDRCC 10-0125 FREDERICK REID (CLAIMANT) AND SQUASH CANADA (RESPONDENT) Before: Graeme Mew (Arbitrator) Appearances and Attendances: Cathie Reid (Agent for the Claimant) Hilary Findlay (Counsel for the Respondent) Also Present: Robert Wyma (President, Squash Canada) Joe Besso (High Performance Chair, Squash Canada) Yvon Provençal (National Coach, Squash Canada) Heard by way of telephone conference on: 9 and 16 September 2010 AWARD 1. Fred Reid is a 20 year-old professional squash player. He is a part-time student at Ryerson University. He is currently ranked number 176 in the Professional Squash Association (“PSA”) world rankings. 2 2. A dispute has arisen between Mr. Reid and Squash Canada as a result of: a) The allocation by Squash Canada of “Cards” to Squash Canada athletes pursuant to Sport Canada’s Athlete Assistance Program (“AAP”) which, Mr. Reid alleges, discriminates against him as a student with limited resources; and. b) A decision, notified to Mr. Reid and other athletes representing Canada at the 2010 World University Squash Championships in Melbourne, Australia, that athletes selected by Squash Canada to participate in the Championships would be required to pay an athlete contribution of $1,000. 3. Mr. Reid has already appealed these decisions through the internal appeal process of Squash Canada. An Appeals Officer of Squash Canada concluded that neither of the appeals advanced by Mr. Reid met the enumerated grounds for appeal provided for in s.4 of the Squash Canada Appeals Policy (the “Appeals Policy”) in force at the time. 4. Mr. Reid now brings a further appeal to the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada pursuant to s.9 of the Appeals Policy which provides that where an Appeals Officer does not allow an appeal, the matter may be referred to the SDRCC.

  • Coach Certification Policies & Procedures
    COACH CERTIFICATION POLICIES & PROCEDURES MAY 31, 2012 STRUCTURE OF THE NEW NCCP: NCCP workshops are designed to meet the needs of all coaches, from the first-time community coach to the head coach of a national team. As a competency based program, certification is now based on what you can do, as opposed to just what you know. This new certification system also differentiates between coaches who are “trained” and “certified”, to ensure coaches are participating in training opportunities as well as being evaluated on what they have learned. As part of the program, all coaches (regardless of sport or context) are trained in ethical decision- making and sport safety.
