Summary of the Meeting Between ABA and Cycling Canada

August 11, 2014

Summary of the Meeting Between ABA and Cycling Canada

Representatives of the American Bicycle Association (ABA), the parent organization of USA BMX and BMX Canada, and Cycling Canada met in Ottawa on July 23rd to discuss the potential for collaboration around the growth and development of BMX Cycling in Canada.

On behalf of the ABA, John David (Chief Operating Officer) and Brad Hallin (Senior Track Director) made the trip to Ottawa to share their perspectives on the many exciting developments they have seen within the sport and how their organization endeavors to support its progress.  From the Cycling Canada perspective; Greg Mathieu (CEO), Mathieu Boucher (Performance Development Director) and Jim Crosscombe (OCA CEO / Chair Interprovincial Council).provided the overview of the national BMX landscape and the factors affecting its current health and future potential. 

Both parties are highly desirous of solving the issues that have been seen to hold back Canada’s BMX potential and realize that a better understanding of the roles of all the stakeholders is fundamental to this goal.

Perspectives were shared on the fundamental areas of events, track operations and membership with an enhanced understanding of how each party views their approaches.  There are areas where  there appears to be common ground and other aspects that will need further study to find the way forward.

Greg Mathieu was pleased with the tone and substance of the meeting and noted; “In the end, we want to create the best development and competition system for our stakeholders.  The history and success of the ABA can advise us and we look forward to further exchanges with them towards a more unified Canadian BMX community.”

Speaking for the ABA, John David said; “We were extremely pleased with the cooperative tone of the meeting and have great hope that we are collectively creating unity for BMX in Canada and across North America”.

The two organizations have agreed to share information that will assist each in moving the process forward and to continue communication with the intent of building a proposal to share with stakeholders by the end of October of this year.

Canadian Parapan Am hopefuls ready for TO2015!

Canadian Paralympic Committee Celebrates One Year to Go to the Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games

 OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. 7, 2014 – With today marking one year to go to the Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games, the Canadian Paralympic Committee celebrates the spotlight shining on athlete hopefuls training for Toronto.

 “Are You Ready?” asks the Toronto2015 Parapan video released this morning, featuring the intense training of three Canadian Parapan Am hopefuls: swimmer Danielle Kisser, cyclist Jaye Milley and wheelchair basketball player David Eng. The “sizzle reel” features the athletes practicing their skills in edgy, innovative ways and aims to leave viewers thinking differently about how they define sport.

The Are you Ready? video can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/8fz1ePUo00g

“Are we ready? Yes we are,” said Team Canada Chef de Mission Elisabeth Walker-Young. “In the life of a high performance athlete, one year is a drop in the bucket. Now the time to tweak, test the waters and see what they can demand of themselves mentally and physically. Danielle, Jaye and David are great examples of the athleticism and character of our Parapan Am athletes and we wish them and all Toronto 2015 hopefuls the best in their final year of preparation for the Games.”

Meet the athletes in the “Are You Ready?” video (full bios available at Paralympic.ca/athletes):

  • Jaye Milley (Calgary, Alta.) Age 23, Milley is a quadruple amputee cyclist who says, “Can’t is not a word in my vocabulary.” A World Cup medallist, Milley competed at the 2011 Guadalajara Parapan American Games and the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
  • David Eng (Montreal, Que.) Age 39, Eng is bilingual and a veteran wheelchair basketball player who has won medals at three Paralympic and two Parapan American Games, including gold at the London 2012 Paralympic Games and bronze at the 2011 Guadalajara Parapan American Games. (Montreal, Que.) 
  • Danielle Kisser (Delta, B.C.) (Delta, B.C.) Age 17, Kisser raced in eight swimming events at the 2011 Guadalajara Parapan American Games, winning bronze in the 100-metre breaststroke. Kisser was born with achondroplasia (a common form of dwarfism).

“The Parapan Am Games is a world-class competition and the Toronto 2015 Games will feature the best athletes from the Americas and the Caribbean,” added Walker-Young. “The Games offer a chance to showcase the incredible athletic ability of athletes and to challenge people’s attitudes toward sport.

“The Parapan Ams mark an important stepping stone towards the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. Spectators will get to witness the best of the best competing on home turf.”

REGISTRATION OPEN FOR 2014 CANADA CUP MOUNTAIN BIKE FINALS

Finals to be held during Crankworx Whistler, Aug 15 and 17

The Canada Cup series will again take to the Whistler trails this year, wrapping up its 2014 season with the Canadian Open XC during the Crankworx mountain bike festival. Competitors will plough through a fast and challenging course, racing for coveted points that will ultimately crown the 2014 Canada Cup Series Champions.

Straight down, no mercy – the Canadian Open DH course is a ripper, a one-run takedown of Whistler’s rooty single-track, steep rock drops and big air features. This technical test-piece calls for blazing guns and laser focus from those who dare to drop in.

This race is sanctioned by both the UCI and Cycling Canada.

The Canadian Open is open to riders with a single event license and riders with a UCI International Racing License. For unlicensed riders, the cost of the single event license is included in the entry fee.

Only Elite and Junior Expert UCI license holder will be eligible for UCI points.

THREE CANADIANS REACH PODIUM ON FINAL DAY AT WORLD CUP FINALS

Gautier, Croteau and Milley race to podium performances at Para-Cycling Road World Cup Finals

(Cantimpalos, Segovia, ESP – July 27, 2014) Three Canadians – Shelley Gautier of Toronto, ON, Marie-Ève Croteau of Québec, QC and Jaye Milley of Calgary, AB – won medals in the road races at the 2014 UCI Para-Cycling Road World Cup Final in Spain.

Gautier completed her World Cup season undefeated in the T1 class, having won all her races. Today, she dominated the field by lapping all of her competitors, and finished the course after an hour of racing. Gautier, the reigning World Champion, will defend both of her rainbow jerseys in South Carolina next month.

Marie-Ève Croteau, racing in the T2 class, took the second rank of this last race of the World Cup season, finishing behind Carol Cooke of Australia. She also finished second to Cooke in the time trial race on Friday. This season Croteau started on a positive note, winning both races in her comeback from more than a year of rehabilitation after suffering from a devastating crash prior to the Paralympic Games in London.

Both Gautier and Croteau ended the 2014 UCI World Cup season with the White Jersey, awarded to the World Cup Champion.

In the men C1 class, Jaye Milley bounced back on Sunday to win the bronze medal in the road race after finishing in eight place of the time trial. Milley took off with two German riders and finished third after an intense sprint for the second place, finishing just four seconds behind the winner.

Milley’s teammate Wilson Ross of Sherwood Park, AB finished in fourth place of the same race, his first mass-start road race at the World Cup level. Wilson snagged the bronze medal on Friday in the time trials, his first ever World Cup race.

The next major event for the Canadian para-cycling team will be the UCI World Championships, scheduled to take place Aug 28-Sept 1 in Greenville, South Carolina. Canada will field a large team for the event on North American soil.
