Contemporary newspapers were scanned to obtain a chronicle of the signi• ficant sporting developments and events during the period between the first Fraser River gold rush of 18 58 and the completion of the transcontinental Canadian Pacific Railway in 188 5. During this period, it is apparent that certain sports facilitated a rapid expansion of activities when the railway brought thousands of new settlers to the province in the closing years of the century.

    Fan predictions on the future of sports in Canada after Covid-19 In a conversational chat survey sent to a community of Canadian consumers, Reach3 Insights and Rival Technologies asked people which sports they think would bounce back quickly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Hockey, baseball and football got the most mentions among Canadian consumers. People mention a few reasons for picking these sports: • Timing and duration of the season • The size of the fan base • The sport’s ability to bounce back from other crises • Ability of players to train individually while still maintaining social distancing Sample responses from research participants Hockey.

This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province. At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs. On the surface, the numbers tell a positive story: Our economy has outperformed those of all G7 nations since 2014; Our unemployment rate, at 5.5 per cent, is the lowest it has been in almost 20 years; and Last year alone, 500 net new jobs were created, on average, each day in Ontario, and they were mostly full‐time.

    Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century by Kelsey Blair M.A., University of British Columbia, 2014 M.A., University of Toronto, 2010 B.A., University of British Columbia, 2007 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Kelsey Blair 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Kelsey Blair Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century Examining Committee: Chair: Clint Burnham Professor Peter Dickinson Senior Supervisor Professor Dara Culhane Supervisor Professor Coleman Nye Supervisor Assistant Professor Ann Travers Internal Examiner Associate Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Susan Bennett External Examiner Professor Department of English University of Calgary Date Defended/Approved: April 16, 2019 ii Abstract Richard Schechner, one of the founders of performance studies, urges scholars to expand their conceptualization of performance to include a broad spectrum of framed and/or displayed human behaviours. While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.

Yet it seems the athletes who excel at this track event have been trained to fly. Just this week in London, two Americans took home the gold and silver medals in the triple jump, which brings a smile to the face of GWU Dean Dr. Anthony Negbenebor. Negbenebor isn’t the type of man who likes to talk about his impressive accomplishments as a member of the Mississippi State University track and field team. He must be pressed to reveal more information about his background as an Olympic athlete during the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, Canada, where he represented his home country of Nigeria. After a few moments of conversation, he humbly shares his memories as a competitor in the triple jump track event and his thoughts about the athletes who are competing this year in the 2012 London Summer Games. “I was up until 3 a.m. watching track and field, and honestly, they are stronger, better, and faster,” Negbenebor shares.
