Westshore Rebels Coach Shane Beatty Will Continue For immediate release Westshore Rebels Announce Coach Shane Beatty Will Continue as Assistant Head Coach for the 2017 Season Victoria, BC, Canada – January 31, 2017 – After the announcement that Charly Cardilicchia was the new Head Coach of the Westshore Rebels it was uncertain if Assistant Head Coach Shane Beatty would continue coaching for the 2017 season. We are happy to announce that Coach Beatty has agreed to continue on as Assistant Head Coach, as well as Strength and Conditioning Coach and Director of Player Development. “After being a part of the growing success of the Rebels team over the past year I wasn’t ready to leave. I am so proud of our team and I know that this year we will come back even stronger with the help of our highly experienced team of Coaches. I still have more to teach these talented football players and I look forward to the upcoming season,” says Beatty. Coach Beatty brings decades of coaching and athletic training experience to the Rebels. His resume includes 23 years of coaching experience at the University level in the U.S., in a wide variety of roles. In his coaching career, Beatty has served as Recruiting Coordinator and Assistant Coach at Reedley College, Defensive Coordinator and Head Coach at West Virginia Tech, Assistant Director of Football Operations at Iowa State, and Defensive Coordinator and Strength Coach at the College of Sequoias. Beatty has also trained high level athletes outside of football, including high school and collegiate athletes, wrestlers, Olympic sprinters, and pro golfers. During his three seasons as Head Coach of the Okanagan Sun, Beatty was awarded CJFL Coach of the Year twice, and led the team to a BCFC championship in 2015. Beatty is also a Rebels alumni; he played for the team as a linebacker in 1988 and 1989. “We were really hoping Shane would continue this season. With J.C. leaving it was important to keep some consistency in the coaching staff. Coach Beatty is an excellent Coach with many years of high level coaching experience. We are in really good shape to carry the Rebels success into the 2017 season,” says Jonathan Poppitt, General Manager of Westshore Rebels. About Westshore Rebels: The Westshore Rebels are a Canadian Junior Football team based in Langford, British Columbia. The Rebels play in the six-team BC Football Conference, which itself is part of the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL) and competes annually for the national title known as the Canadian Bowl.

    www.cjfl.net “For all your CJFL Information & News” The CJFL TOTAL THURSDAY Newsletter Brought to you by Issue 3 – Volume 1 "The CJFL gratefully acknowledges the support of the following Sponsors" "The Canadian Junior Football League provides the opportunity for young men aged 17 to 22 to participate in highly competitive post-high school football that is unique in Canada. The goal of the league is to foster community involvement and yield a positive environment by teaching discipline, perseverance and cooperation. The benefits of the league are strong camaraderie, national competition and life-long friends." History of True Sport In 2001, Canada’s Federal-Provincial/Territorial Ministers responsible for sport came together to bring ethics and respectful conduct back into the way Canadians play and compete. They believed that damaging practices—cheating, bullying, violence, aggressive parental behaviour, and even doping—were beginning to undermine the positive impact of community sport in Canada. The first step they took in turning back this negative tide was the signing of what is now known as the London Declaration, an unprecedented affirmation of positive sporting values and principles. The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport conducted a nationwide survey in 2002, which made clear the important role that sport plays in the lives of Canadians, as well as Canadians’ strong desire to uphold a model of sport that reflects and teaches positive values like fairness, inclusion, and excellence. In September of 2003, leading sports officials, sports champions, parents and kids from across Canada came together through a symposium entitled “The Sport We Want.” Several strong messages emerged from this gathering.

  • Attachment 3: Parks Development Funding Program Public Engagement Summary – Spring / Summer 2019
    Attachment 3: Parks Development Funding Program Public engagement summary – Spring / Summer 2019 Letters of Support 1 Attachment 3: Letters from Neighbourhood Associations 2 6 September, 2019 New approach to funding our future parks I am in general agreement with the funding proposal as presented by Parks & Buildings Planning Manager, Robert Parlane I believe our neighbourhood has already aligned itself favourably with the acquisition and development proposal being presented. The Kettle Valley development project has a higher than normal number of parks and it is my understanding that the developer’s engineers worked diligently together with City planners to make this happen by providing both neighbourhood and community parks in its original plan. As a result, the amount of green space within short walking distance of the homes here, compared to most Kelowna communities, were a key “quality of life” element in our decision to build a home in this area. It has been my home now for 20 years. Therefore, I would fully support any one of the financial proposals being put forward that will best support the Future Parks Funding submission’s acceptance into the OCP. From my view, if Council were to be in agreement, future generations will praise it for its forward-looking view of the quality of life for its residents. Len McFarlane Chairman, Kettle Valley Neighbourhood Association From: Dr. Paul Clark, Optometrist To: Melanie Steppuhn Subject: Proposed Park Development Funding Program Date: Thursday, September 05, 2019 11:23:05 AM Attachments: IRIS_3d73bd7d-232b-4322-bea2-5ec2079181e6.png CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Kelowna.

  • C:\Documents and Settings\Kenneth Walcott\Desktop\Baseball Facts And
    By Tony Parker 2005 Baseball Canada Senior Championship- August 28-28th, 2005 Welcome to the web site of the 2005 Baseball Canada Senior Baseball Championship. Baseball history doesn’t always have to be boring statistical analysis. This is a game that began somewhere in the early 1800’s and was increasingly documented after the first major professional league was founded in the United States in 1876 and Canada has been very much a part of that game as you will find below. In addition to this section we have also created a series of baseball trivia and informationals that will allow you to learn more about the game in what we hope is an entertaining fashion. As few boring stats as possible , because few of us are bookkeepers or accountants. Foxy & Tip Marchildon Too Canadian Baseball is alive and well and has contributed greatly to the Major League game, even if Ferguson Jenkins remains the only Canadian born player enshrined at Cooperstown. You may think that Larry Walker is the lone Canadian to win a Major League batting crown and if so, you would be wrong, but if you weren’t alive in 1887 then you didn’t see a Canadian lad named Tip O’Neill become the first ever triple crown winner in professional baseball history or that legendary U.S. Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill was named after that same Canadian triple crown winner. And did you know that the first player to use a padded glove (Foxy Irwin), the first retired player to start broadcasting games on radio (Jack Graney) and the first no-hitter recorded after the top players returned from service in WW II (Dick Fowler) were also Canadians? Graney also played in the same starting outfield with baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson as well as Hall of Fame player Tris Speaker and batted behind Cy Young in his final big league season when Cy was wrapping up his career record of 51 1 wins (Unquestionably baseball’s most unbreakable Major League mark).

  • Athletics & Recreation Circle
    UNIVERSITY CIRCLES Athletics & Recreation Circle May 11, 2004 Round 1 Report This report identifies and makes recommendations on four areas the Circle believes to be critical to the development of an appropriate Athletics and Recreation Department for UBC Okanagan. Preamble UBC (Vancouver) has an established and well-deserved reputation for providing excellent Student Life opportunities. The combination of a strong student government and a diversified and well-run Athletics and Recreation Department enables UBC to offer students and staff a vast range of programs and activities, which enhance their post- secondary experience. In order to live up to these expectations, UBC Okanagan must take steps to ensure that students choosing to attend the Okanagan Campus of UBC are provided similar opportunities for learning outside the classroom thus influencing their perception of the relative value of their educational experience. The community’s perception of the ‘new university’ will also be greatly influenced by the institutions against which we compete. We need to support the UBC brand outside the classroom. In an attempt to proceed using a value-based planning model, the University Circle on Athletics and Recreation first drafted a vision and a set of core values as a context for developing a set of recommendations. Vision A ‘work hard – play hard’ University that supports student success and student life through active participation in an Athletics & Recreation Department that includes a strong Intramurals program, a comprehensive Campus Rec. program capitalizes on the local environment, a vibrant Active Living program and a competitive Varsity Athletics program. Mission The Athletics and Recreation at UBC Okanagan will provide a range of opportunities in which all members of the UBC-O community can participate and through which their educational experience will be enhanced.
