Message from the President

Their stories are a source of inspiration to the rest of us, who celebrate with them and feel a real sense of pride in their achievements and in our country.

For the past 17 years, the CSCC has consistently set the bar high for the standard of performance services and programming we provide to Canadian athletes and coaches. The quality and consistency of the services we offer is extraordinary. We have demonstrated a willingness to do the work required to achieve a performance impact. We have been principled, focused and persistent. We have not taken shortcuts or the easy way out. We continue to seek ways to be of value and we look for innovative ways to be effective, including partnering with others.

At the CSCC we believe in the exponential power of partnerships. Our funding partners, many supporters and sponsors, numerous facility partners and the 75 service professionals who work directly with the athletes and coaches each play a critical role in our success.

Most of what we do is service-based through our high performance sport service providers, who are internationally recognized for their expertise. Athletes and coaches expect and receive superb support, and although difficult to quantify and measure, quality service is synonymous with the CSCC brand.

The athletes represent Canada as a sporting nation. Canadians identify with Olympians and Paralympians thanks to the Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver Olympics, and the legacy of the Games in our cities. Canadians see themselves as part of the same community; sharing the same training spaces, knowing their names and their faces. Canadians are part of an extended family of athletes who share the exhilaration of competing for the sheer love of it.

If we want to ensure that Canadian athletes continue to excel in London, Sochi, Rio de Janeiro and beyond, as they did in Vancouver, we need to find new ways to generate the resources Canadian athletes and coaches require to prepare for these major international events. Athletes need dependable resources that allow them to gain access to training and competition facilities on a priority basis, so that they can work with the latest equipment and the CSCC’s world-leading experts.

I am excited and optimistic about our future. With our partners, the CSCC is creating a dynamic, comprehensive and integrated environment for Canadian athletes and their coaches. We have a winning attitude and approach that truly prepares athletes to succeed. With our passion, energy and focus, we will continue to work with our partners to create, innovate and elevate performance excellence.

Sincerely,

Dale Henwood
President and CEO,
Canadian Sport Centre Calgary
