  • First Weekend of Racing in the BMW IBSF World Championships 2021 in Altenberg Titles Set to Be Awarded in the 2-Man and 2-Woman Bobsleigh
    PRESS RELEASE – Preview 1 BMW IBSF World Championships Altenberg 2021 3 February 2021 First weekend of racing in the BMW IBSF World Championships 2021 in Altenberg Titles set to be awarded in the 2-man and 2-woman bobsleigh Altenberg (RWH): Just like back in 2020, the 2021 BMW IBSF Bobsleigh and Skeleton World Championships will once again be taking place in Altenberg (GER). However, the only thing that will be “just like 2020” will be the sporting action on the track – the COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed all other aspects of the event. Whereas thousands of sports fans would normally be making their way up and down the paths at Altenberg sliding track to get a good view of the spectacular turns and straights or stake their place at the final grandstand, the venue will be completely empty this year. The athletes along with the coaches, support staff and officials required for the event will be the only people in attendance. Nevertheless, fans can still cheer along and follow each and every trip down Altenberg sliding track thanks to the live stream from the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF), many hours of TV broadcasting or separate streams from partner broadcasters in a number of countries. The schedule for the first World Championship weekend in Altenberg features the 2-man and 2- woman bobsleigh events, each made up of four runs on two consecutive days. In the 2-woman bobsleigh, Katrin Beierl will be arriving in Altenberg as the first ever overall World Cup winner from Austria – a feat that has also put her among the favourites for the World Championship title.

  • The Impact of Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation in Alberta
    The Impact of Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation in Alberta April 2020 Executive Summary: As a society Alberta is undergoing unprecedented changes due to COVID- 19, and as we look both to crisis responses right now and forward to recovery and relaunch strategies in the future, it is imperative that the sport, recreation, and physical activity (SPAR) sector be a foundation of both. Alberta is a hub for world-class services for people of all ages, genders, backgrounds and abilities, and now is a time to draw upon these organizations and community leaders to guide our recovery and ensure equitable access to health for all. Provincial investment in SPAR currently lags woefully behind other provinces, despite the high value Albertans place on being physically active in their daily lives. Renewed investment to build a strong SPAR sector will quickly and significantly aid the economic, health, and social impact of Albertans as the province recovers from COVID-19. SPAR is essential to the wellbeing of Albertans. The sectors builds coping skills and supports social and community connections that build whole population mental and physical wellness The SPAR sector: Creates jobs and is an income generator in Alberta Including both sport and recreation, the SPAR sector contributes as much as 2% to Alberta GDP and supports more than 3.5% of total employment. Provides considerable value to Albertans in their daily lives More than 82% of Albertans believe that sport contributes to an improved quality of life. Some 24% of adults and 59% of children participate directly in organized sport, while sport has the highest volunteer rate and number of volunteer hours of any other organizations in the non-profit sector.
