4 I. CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT

On behalf of the Host Committee, I am thrilled to put forth Regina’s bid to host the 2020 Canadian Masters Athletics National Championships.

Regina last successfully hosted the Canadian Masters Athletics Championships in 2013 and we are looking forward to welcoming back athletes for another great experience. We are pleased to be working closely with Excel Athletika, who will host the U12, U14 and U16 Provincials alongside the Masters Championships, which will attract a combined 350 athletes and provide for a multi-generational experience for all participants.

Saskatchewan Master Athletes have hosted two previous Canadian Masters Championships (2008 and 2013) and assisted with a Seniors' 55+ National meet in 2010. The host committee in 2008 was chaired by a local community organizer and volunteers from many sectors. Responses from participants for both events included many saying that Regina hosts the best events in the country.

We are confident that the tremendous support that we have received from government, private sector and local clubs will translate into a successful and memorable Masters Championship experience for athletes, volunteers and spectators alike.

Carol LaFayette-Boyd,

Masters Liaison

Dear Paul,

Re: Bid for 2020 Canadian Masters National Outdoor Track & Field Championships

This letter confirms our intention to submit a bid to host 2020 Canadian Masters National Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Excel Athletika, City of Regina and various groups are very supportive of hosting the 2013 championships.1

As the President and General Manager of Excel Athletika, I believe that the hosting of this event will be as successful as was the prior Masters events in Regina. Saskatchewan is well known across Canada for hosting events, and a major reason is the community engages in the events at all levels. Dedicated volunteers, experienced staff and a thriving business community are ready to give participants and spectators a great experience in the city of Regina.

Excel Athletika Track and Field Club has multiple experience in terms of hosting large track and field meets including but not limited to the Western Canada Tri Province meet on numerous occasions. We have also successfully hosted multiple provincial track and field meets in Regina.

We see this as a great opportunity to bring awareness to the involvement of master athletes in the sport of Track & Field. We have the necessary resources to provide an excellent track meet.

Thank you for considering our bid.

Grant Van Eaton Excel Athletika Track and Field Club.
