It didn’t take long before she was hooked. Rosie started competing internationally at age 11 and was Canadian National Women’s Champion in 2005, 2009 and 2011. At the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Rosie earned Canada’s only gold medal at the Games – and achieved a personal best. Now she’s off to Rio to once again represent her country. Rosie is a recent graduate of the University of Toronto with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and Health. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in exercise science, also at U of T.

  • 2016 1 2017 Message from the Chair and President/CEO Richard Crépin and Peter Nicol
    2016 1 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT/CEO RICHARD CRÉPIN AND PETER NICOL 2016-2017 marked another year of transition for Gymnastics Canada as we wrapped up the last year of our previous strategic plan and launched our 2017-2020 Strategic Plan. We are very excited about our new strategic plan as it will provide focus to the organization in all we do over the next four years: OUR VISION: OUR MISSION: OUR VALUES: Be THE foundation Build the foundation. Collaboration. Dedication. sport in Canada. Create champions. Excellence. Innovation. Consistently achieve Inspire the nation. Integrity. international success. To support this new direction, an organizational review was conducted over the fall to ensure alignment of resources. After a detailed external review and recommendations, staffing was initiated to introduce some modifications and key roles in the organization. These changes to the structure will enhance our current capacity and allow GCG to continue moving forward and enable us to achieve the objectives outlined in our plan. Reflecting on the success of the past year, and the conclusion of the last cycle, the highlight was definitely the outstanding performances at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Of particular mention of course is Rosie MacLennan who was the official flag bearer for team Canada during the opening ceremonies, and who picked up her second Olympic gold medal in women’s trampoline. Rosie also broke records as this was a first ever back-to-back gold in trampoline gymnastics, and a first back-to-back gold for a Canadian summer athlete. Way to go Rosie - we are so very proud of you! Another important highlight of Rio was Ellie Black’s 5th place all-around finish in WAG, another all-time best showing for Canada.

  • Trampoline Trampoline Is Part of the Gymnastics Family of Sports, Where Gymnasts Perform Acrobatics While Bouncing on a Trampoline
    Trampoline Trampoline is part of the gymnastics family of sports, where gymnasts perform acrobatics while bouncing on a trampoline. Qualifying – the road to Rio Qualification is based on the results of the 2015 World Championships, held in November in Denmark, and the 2016 Olympic Test Event in April at the Rio Olympic Arena. Medalists from the 2015 World Championships qualified a place at Rio, and then the next five best- ranked men and women qualified a spot for their countries at the Games, with a maximum of two athletes per country (eight spots each for men and women in total). New Zealand was just outside the required placings to earn a Rio spot via the World Championships, but earned a country spot at the Olympic Test Event. Young trampoline star, Dylan Schmidt, has been selected to attend the event. From the Olympic Test Event, the top five men and women will qualify a spot for their countries, with a maximum of one athlete per country. Brazil, as host country, is guaranteed a maximum of one competitor across both genders (one male OR one female gymnast). There is also a continental quota – there needs to be at least one athlete from each of the four continents. "To be part of something amazing, like the Olympic Games, with such an amazing athlete, how can you not get excited! He is not only the most talented, he is also the most focused, most determined and most importantly, the hardest worker.” "We have the opportunity not only to be part of history, but to create history.

  • Annual Report Message from Ian Moss, Ceo 2
    FROM HERE, WE SOAR 2019-2020 ANNUAL REPORT MESSAGE FROM IAN MOSS, CEO 2 I have now completed my first full year as CEO for Gymnastics Canada. In that year, who could have predicted a pandemic, a total shutdown of clubs, and a scramble across our community to manage what is, and what will be, a new reality for the foreseeable future. While it has certainly not been business as usual on any level, I do want to thank all our sport’s leaders, our staff, and the respective Boards for tackling these challenges and coming together at all levels to support the sport in the best way we can. At the Gymnastics Canada operational level, we have seen steady progress in all areas of programming. While the postponement of the Olympic Games and some of the Olympic qualification process created some challenges, I can say that we were well positioned for potential success in Tokyo. Having said that, the postponement also created some planning challenges in that a natural change of focus in high performance programming to Paris 2024 would have normally occurred in 2021. We now have to straddle the need to maintain focus on quality preparation for Tokyo while ensuring that Paris plans are also initiated so as not to lose traction on programming needs for the longer term. Our Safe Sport national strategy has also been strengthened this past year through continual dialogue with our membership and through pro-active action on the part of Gymnastics Canada in areas of education and legislation. We remain a leader in Canadian sport in this area and must continue to commit significant resources to this strategy if we truly wish to eradicate abuse and maltreatment in the sport.

  • Socialympics: How Sports Organizations and Athletes Used Social Media at London 2012
    SOCIALYMPICS: HOW SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS AND ATHLETES USED SOCIAL MEDIA AT LONDON 2012 Sept 2012 www.arnoldimcpherson.com Socialympics: How Sports Organizations and Athletes Used Social Media at London 2012 Socialympics: How Sports Organizations and Athletes Used Social Media at London 2012 There has been a permanent shift in how people expect to get information. The public is no longer willing to search out information, they expect it to be delivered to them. People not only want to follow athletes and competitions in real-time, they want to have an experience by participating through social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, blogs and increasingly, mobile apps. While websites and email updates still play a role providing the big picture, social channels provide the exclusive real-time connection fans expect. Social media can be used to drive traffic to websites for more extensive details, insights and daily wrap-ups. London 2012 was dubbed the Socialympics. There were 306 billion items shared on the internet during the 17 days of the Games. These included: www.arnoldimcpherson.com | 905.684.9393 | Page 1 Socialympics: How Sports Organizations and Athletes Used Social Media at London 2012 100 billion posts on Facebook: timeline status updates, likes, comments, shares, photos and videos.1 5 billion tweets on Twitter.1 650,000 photos shared on Instagram.1 Athletes were using the mobile app to provide an intimate look behind the scenes, fans posted from events and even photojournalists used Instagram to post less formal pictures. More than 79 million video views on the International Olympic Committee YouTube channel. Sports have a built-in pool of passion and when it comes to social media, fans want to share their excitement, their knowledge and sometimes their criticism.

  • Ticket Program Guide
    TORONTO 2015 PAN AM GAMES TICKET PROGRAM GUIDE April 2015 MESSAGE FROM ROSIE MACLENNAN Competing on home soil at an international multi-sport Games is a rare opportunity for any athlete, and it’s something I’ve dreamed of my entire athletic career. Next summer, for the first time, I will finally have the opportunity to compete with some of the best in the world, right here at home. There will be more than 6,000 athletes from 41 countries competing for a spot on the podium during 20 days of competition. I can tell you, Team Canada is already preparing so that when our moment comes, we’ll be ready. The Pan Am Games have a special place in my heart. After winning silver for Canada at the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2007, I went on to win gold at the Guadalajara Games in 2011. Standing on the podium and hearing O Canada were incredibly emotional and proud moments for me. It is what athletes strive for, to live our dream and make our country proud. I can only imagine what it will be like to hear the roar of a passionate home crowd as well. The success of previous Games held in Canada has shown athletes that the passion, cheers and support from the crowd can mean the difference between silver and gold. I know that all the athletes, especially Team Canada, are in for the experience of a lifetime, as are all of those who come out to cheer us on! With 36 sports, including 52 disciplines, there’s something for everyone.
