  • The Banff Winter Olympics: Sport, Tourism, and Banff National Park
    University of Alberta The Banff Winter Olympics: Sport, tourism, and Banff National Park by Cheryl Williams A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Recreation and Leisure Studies Physical Education and Recreation ©Cheryl Williams Fall 2011 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only. Where the thesis is converted to, or otherwise made available in digital form, the University of Alberta will advise potential users of the thesis of these terms. The author reserves all other publication and other rights in association with the copyright in the thesis and, except as herein before provided, neither the thesis nor any substantial portion thereof may be printed or otherwise reproduced in any material form whatsoever without the author's prior written permission. Abstract This case study deals with the failed bid by Calgary Olympic Development Association to host the 1972 Winter Olympics in Banff National Park. The bid committee argued that the international exposure garnered by a locality would result in economic growth and amateur athletic development. Opponents to the use of a national park as an Olympic site challenged the importance of the Games to Banff’s identity as a world class destination, and the recreational role of national parks. Through textual analysis of newspaper and archival documents, and interviews, the case of the failed 1972 Winter Olympic bid reveals discourses of the role of national parks in the 1960s.

Analyzing press accounts, supplemented by archival documents and interviews, we found that prior to the scandal, the IOC partitioned its hybrid identity elements, buffering ideology of Olympism from the economics of the Olympic Games. The scandal ruptured the identity boundary, mixing ideology and economics in the wake of the scandal, confounding and tainting organizational identity. With the scandal juxtaposing identity elements, calls for IOC reform advocated identity reconstruction that would again partition identity elements. Our findings attest to the critical role of boundary management in identity construction within a hybrid organization. Keywords: organizational identity, multiple identities, boundaries, institutions 2 In 1998, a bribery scandal visibly rocked the image of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the “supreme authority of the Olympic Movement” (IOC, 1992: 17). With its stated goal of “building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind,” the IOC is the institutional carrier of the ideology of Olympism.

    PREFACE The City of Calgary Archives is a section of the City Clerk's Department. The Archives was established in 1981. The descriptive system currently in use was established in 1991. The Archives Society of Alberta has endorsed the use of the Bureau of Canadian Archivists' Rules for Archival Description as the standard of archival description to be used in Alberta's archival repositories. In acting upon the recommendations of the Society, the City of Calgary Archives will endeavour to use RAD whenever possible and to subsequently adopt new rules as they are announced by the Bureau. The focus of the City of Calgary Archives' descriptive system is the series level and, consequently, RAD has been adapted to meet the descriptive needs of that level. RAD will eventually be used to describe archival records at the fonds level. The City of Calgary Archives creates inventories of records of private agencies and individuals as the basic structural finding aid to private records. Private records include a broad range of material such as office records of elected municipal officials, records of boards and commissions funded in part or wholly by the City of Calgary, records of other organizations which function at the municipal level, as well as personal papers of individuals. All of these records are collected because of their close relationship to the records of the civic government, and are subject to formal donor agreements. The search pattern for information in private records is to translate inquiries into terms of type of activity, to link activity with agencies which are classified according to activity, to peruse the appropriate inventories to identify pertinent record series, and then to locate these series, or parts thereof, through the location register.

Fischer According to research on sports media, reporters have both gender and racial biases. Women are marginalized in the media (Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002), and athletes are stereotyped based on race (Banet-Weiser, 1999). These depictions affect the public’s image of athletics and particular athletes. White males are offered both more media attention and more salient coverage (Banet-Weiser, 1999; Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002). Women are characterized for non-task behaviors (Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002), and minority groups’ behaviors are generalized (Banet-Weiser, 1999).
