Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. KPMG LLP is a Canadian limited liability partnership and a member finm of the KPMG networl< of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity. KPMG Canada provides services to KPMG LLP. CNCL - 11 (Special) Richmond Olympic Oval Corporation Page 2 Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Richmond Olympic Oval Corporation as at December 31, 2015 and its results of operations, its changes in net financial assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.

  • 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.

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.

Notre gouvernement est fier d’appuyer l’Association canadienne des Jeux du Commonwealth et les athlètes d’Équipe Canada. Ils incarnent véritablement les valeurs des Jeux du Commonwealth d’humanité, d’égalité et de destinée. En compagnie de tous les Canadiens et Canadiennes d’un océan à l’autre, nous félicitons tous les athlètes pour leurs accomplissements remarquables et célébrons leurs contributions au monde du sport. Nous sommes derrière nos athlètes à chaque étape de leur cheminement car ils sont une immense source d’inspiration pour nous tous. En tant que Ministre des Sciences et Ministre des Sports et des Personnes handicapées, je tiens à remercier les organisateurs et les bénévoles, ainsi que les gens de Gold Coast, du Queensland et de l’Australie pour l’organisation de ces Jeux et pour le chaleureux accueil réservé à la grande famille du Commonwealth. Mes meilleurs vœux à tous ceux qui participent! L’honorable Kirsty Duncan Bienvenue à Gold Coast, Australie! C’est un honneur et un privilège d’agir à titre de Chef de Mission d’Équipe Canada dans la splendide ville de Gold Coast. Les Jeux du Commonwealth me passionnent depuis mon enfance : j’ai grandi à Montréal en regardant les Jeux avec ma famille et en encourageant les athlètes. J’ai même prolongé ma carrière pour pouvoir participer aux Jeux de 2002 à Manchester.

    CIS takes Rio: 158 athletes with CIS ties to compete at 2016 Olympic Games Aug. 15, 2016 TORONTO (CIS) – Canadian Interuniversity Sport announced Wednesday 158 athletes associated with CIS member schools will compete for Canada at the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics. The CIS contingent, which represents over half of the 314 athletes on the 2016 Canadian Olympic Team, includes 81 current, incoming or former CIS student-athletes, and 77 athletes who have either competed in non-CIS sports, or studied at CIS institutions. “We are extremely proud of all our athletes competing at the Rio 2016 Olympics with ties to university sports in Canada,” said Graham Brown, chief executive officer of CIS. “Each of them epitomize the dedication and passion of our student-athletes nationwide and we wish them the best of luck as they strive for gold.” Kylie Masse (LaSalle, Ont.), the 2016 BLG Award winner as CIS Female Athlete of the Year, is one of seven current or future CIS athletes heading to Rio this summer. Masse, a swimmer heading into her third year with the University of Toronto, represented Canada at the 2015 Summer Universiade and is the Canadian record holder in the 100-metre backstroke. Masse is joined at the Summer Games by fellow Varsity Blue Gabriela Stafford (Toronto, Ont.), who competes in track and field, York Lions track and field athlete Brittany Crew (East York, Ont.), and swimmers Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson (Ottawa, Ont.), Emily Overholt (West Vancouver, B.C.) and Markus Thormeyer (Tsawwassen, B.C.) of UBC, as well as Evan Van Moerkerke (Tillsonburg, Ont.) of Guelph.
