Gentlemen: In connection with the Canadian Application being made by Banff to host the 1972 Olympic Winter Games, I am authorized to state that while the games are now several years in the future, the Canadian Government anticipates that adequate provision will be made for entry into Canada by all participating athletes, teams, officials, juries etc., from National Olympic Committees and International Amateur Sports Federations recognized by the I.O.C., under the terms of the resolution adopted by the I.O.C. at Madrid in October 1965» The Canadian Government is most anxious to welcome athletes from all over the world for the 1972 Olympic Winter Games, and if the International Olympic Committee requires further expression of the Canadian Government's willingness to accommodate and facilitate the entry of athletes, we would be glad to give such a roquest very sympathetic consideration when the precise nature of these assurances is indicated to us.

    Problems, Possibilities, Promising Practices: Critical Dialogues on the Olympic and Paralympic Games Eleventh International Symposium for Olympic Research Editors Janice Forsyth Michael K. Heine Western University Canada London, Ontario October 19-20, 2012 The International Centre for Olympic Studies The International Centre for Olympic Studies, established at The University of Western Ontario in 1989, was the first of its kind in the world. It remains the only such Centre in the Americas. It has as its primary mission the generation and dissemination of academic scholarship focused specifically upon the socio- cultural study of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement. In order to bring this endeavor to frui- tion, the Centre pursues the following four initiatives: 1. The Centre produces Olympika: The International Journal of Olympic Studies. This refereed schol- arly journal, which has an internationally recognized editorial review board, is currently published annually, and is available for subscription throughout the world. 2. The Centre hosts an important International Symposium for Olympic Research in every Olympic year. The Centre publishes the Proceedings of these symposia. 3. The Centre organizes and sponsors regular guest lectures presented by recognized Olympic schol- ars and officials, including three annual honor addresses entitled the Ion P. Ioannides, the J. How- ard Crocker, and the Earle F. Zeigler Lectures. 4. The Centre maintains a resource unit in its home in the Arthur and Sonia Labatt Health Sciences Building (Room 317) for the use of visiting scholars worldwide, as well as for faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students at The University of Western Ontario. The Centre welcomes and invites correspondence concerning any or all of these matters, and encourages scholars to consider participating in the Twelfth International Symposium for Olympic Research, sched- uled for the second half of 2014.

  • Rapid Ray: the Story of Ray Lewis by John Cooper

    Rapid Ray: the Story of Ray Lewis by John Cooper

    2004 GOLDEN OAK SELECTIONS Rapid Ray: The Story of Ray Lewis by John Cooper BOOK SUMMARY: Rapid Ray Lewis was arguably the fastest man of his generation. He won medals in the 1932 Olympics and the 1934 British Empire Games, and countless races in North America. Remarkable achievements for any man – but all the more remarkable because Lewis had to face poverty and prejudice. The great-grandson of slaves, he worked as a porter on the railway, and trained by running alongside the tracks when the train was stopped on the prairies. Rapid Ray is far more than a sports biography; it is as much a history of one man’s battle for equality as it is a history of Olympic-level track. Throughout his long life Ray Lewis has fought discrimination not only in sports, but in every walk of life. AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: John Cooper is a corporate communications specialist for the Government of Ontario. He also teaches corporate communications at Centennial College in Toronto, and writes books. John has been interested in African- Canadian history since he was 12 years old when he read Black Like Me. He is a member of the Urban Alliance on Race Relations, and is editor of their newsletter.
