Santa’s Brunch 

The 15th Annual Santa’s Brunch was 

held on December 4th, 2011 in the 

Panorama Room. The turnout 

this year was incredible 

with a sold out event and 

210 in attendance. All the 

parents and delighted kids 

were excited to see Santa 

Claus, Mrs Claus and the 

Gingerbread Man! 

Thank you to everyone 

that came out for all of the 

Holiday Fun!

Calgary Winter Club Shines at 

Ladies Interclub Bonspiel 

The Calgary Winter Club ladies did the Club proud at 

the Ladies Interclub Bonspiel on November 15th at the 

Huntington Hills Curling Club. First Place was taken in 

the A Event by Michelle Ewanchuk, Audrey Buchanan, 

Jennifer Scott and Joanne Godziuk. This is their second 

straight year bringing the title back to the Club! 

The Club was also represented at the Bonspiel by 

Arthena Fleming, Marj Stewart, Lois Robostan and 

Thelma Wilkinson who finished just out of the medal 

standings in the A Event by finishing fourth in a very 

tough field of lady curlers. This was one of the best 

finishes by our ladies at the Interclub Bonspiel in a 

number of years. Way to go ladies! 

The Calgary Winter Club is proud to use FSC-certified paper 

in the production of this newsletter, demonstrating our 

commitment to the environment.

On behalf of our Board of Directors, I would like to wish all our Members, Management, Staff and their families a Happy New 

Year. 

As winter has settled in around us, we find ourselves past the half-way point of our Phase I Expansion Project. After listening 

to some of our member’s concerns, over the past few months, I have spent a considerable amount of time at the Club doing 

weekly walk-throughs and attending meetings with Club Management, our construction consultants, and our contractor. With 

considerable diligence and attention from all parties, and following some challenges in the summer and fall, I am pleased to 

report that the project is now progressing as we would expect. I am confident that you will find the end result to be well worth 

the wait and any inconveniences that have been endured along the way. While certain components of the Expansion will be 

returned to our members as they are completed, the entire project will be finished and open this fall. Upon completion, our 

facility will be truly exceptional and will provide us all with membership at one of the top Private Clubs in Canada. This Club 

News issue includes a detailed Expansion Update provided by Garry Lamb, Chair of our Construction Committee. 

Paul and John Preston (Chandos PM) Board of Directors Tour - October 29, 2011 

The Club’s Board of Directors will remain active throughout the winter months, with all of our committees working diligently 

with Management to ensure the best possible future experiences and opportunities for our Members. The following committees

current team. The role of the Board and the Committees is to set strategic directions, establish priorities, and to represent our 

Membership to our Management Team. The CWC is a “Member’s” Club and we all have the opportunity to be a part of the 

decisions that will shape our future. As always, member feedback is important to us and encouraged. Thank you to our ad hoc 

committee members and our directors for giving back to our Club.

President’s Message Continued from Page 3... 

If you are interested in getting involved with the governance and strategic direction of the Club, there are still a couple of 

opportunities available to join a CWC Board Committee. Committee involvement provides effective experience to transition to 

the Board of Directors in future years. If you have the desire to become a Director of the Club, in the next few years, we would 

encourage you to consider a committee position. For more information, or to express interest in the committees and/or Board, 

please contact either our CEO Kevin Boyles, or myself. 

As this is the season to reflect on the past year, I am honored to be the President of our Club and to be working with such a 

dedicated group of professionals on our Board as well as a hardworking and committed Management Team. As members we 

are blessed to have such a great Club that is an extension of our homes. Thank you for being patient, supportive and 

maintaining a positive attitude during our construction phase and please continue to use the Club as often as you can. 

Paul Pasutto, President

Happy New Year to our entire CWC Family!

This edition of the Club News marks the completion of my first full year as your CEO. For me, the year has rushed by in a 

heartbeat and was highlighted by many good times, a few big challenges, but never a dull day at work. As a fellow Club 

member, it continues to be a pleasure and an honour to be the CEO of this wonderful place that is such a big part of all of our 

lives. 

Much of our focus this fall was spent on working through the challenges and growing pains of our extensive renovation and 

Expansion. Unfortunately, the fall ended on a tragic note for the entire CWC staff. We lost a valued colleague and good friend 

when Clarence Dang, from our Members Services team, died on November 27, 2011. Clarence had a huge impact on all who 

knew him and he will be both sadly missed and fondly remembered. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Clarence’s family, 

friends and co-workers. 

Looking ahead to the New Year, there is a growing excitement and energy around the Club. Our staff is currently planning for 

the fantastic new opportunities and experiences that we will be able to offer you as the result of the Expansion. The 

Registration Guide for Fall 2013 will include many new offerings such as hot yoga, gymnastics, climbing, music, basketball, 

volleyball and much, much more. 

Jeff Merrin, our new Food & Beverage Manager, has had the opportunity to settle into his role and has a number of great 

things in store for our Members. Along with improving the quality and value of all of our food offerings, Jeff has many ideas to 

improve the social opportunities at the Club. Be sure to check out the new events advertised throughout this issue of Club News 

and watch for a full 2012 Social Calendar to be released in the next edition. We hope that things like wine tastings, Sunday 

brunches and social gatherings will all become a much greater component of our Club’s culture. 

As you read this note, we expect that we will be back skating and curling again, the spin studio will be back upstairs (although 

still in a temporary location) and that we will have returned the 55 Plus area to its rightful occupants. Please feel welcome to 

stop by our renovated Administration area anytime; your Management Team is always happy to chat with you and to hear your 

thoughts and feedback. 

In the coming months, we hope to offer behind the scenes Sunday afternoon hard-hat tours for Members who are interested in a 

sneak-peak of the new Expansion areas. Watch for announcements in Club Connections to take part in these opportunities. 

2012 is guaranteed to be an exciting and eventful year for the Calgary Winter Club. On behalf of your entire Staff, please 

accept our best wishes for a safe, happy and prosperous year. 

Kevin Boyles, CEO

a mEssagE From thE dirEctor 

I would like to thank you all for your warm welcome into my 

new Skating Director position. It has been a busy month 

organizing for the return of our CWC ice and ensuring the 

success for the completion of the skating season. I would like 

to take this opportunity to fill you in on the direction of our 

skating section. As Skating Director, I am responsible for all 

skating activities that take place on our CWC rink. This 

includes Figure Skating, Hockey and recreational skates for 

all members. As a figure skater myself, my goal is to share 

the joy of putting on skates and getting on the ice with 

everyone. 

Our figure skating club is very strong and our skaters prove 

to be great ambassadors for the club, however, we need to 

encourage our future hockey stars and pond skaters. It gives 

me great pleasure to announce that Thomas Labelle will be 

returning as our Head Hockey Pro. We plan on building a 

strong Hockey Skills program and possibly some “new” 

programs up and coming, so stay tuned for more information. 

I will also be looking into developing ideas for Family Skate

dirEctors tip 

Tis’ the season… as we head into the cooler months, please 

remember that this is the opportune time to bundle up and get 

the family outdoors for some fun pond skating 

activities. You should not bring your “best” skates to the 

pond. If you only have one pair of skates, then consider 

getting them sharpened after you have been on the pond ice. 

When you head back to the indoor rinks you will notice how 

dull your skates are from all of the dirt, rocks etc. that you 

have been skating on out there on the pond. Many of you 

have outside rinks in your community or perhaps your own 

back yard. Did you know that Bowness Park has an amazing 

outdoor lagoon that freezes over in the winter months? It is 

equipped with bon fires and benches to warm your tootsies 

and sit to have a warm drink. Instead of complaining about 

how terrible road conditions are or “what’s with the snow?” 

let’s embrace this beautiful time of year and get out there and 

SKATE!

Update #6 

This is the sixth formal Expansion Update and 

we will continue to provide regular updates 

until the project is completed in the fall of 2012. 

Be sure to have your e-mail address registered 

with the Club to receive weekly information and 

important Member Construction Alerts. 

There has been a significant amount of progress 

over the last two months and from a timeperspective; 

we are now past the half-way point 

of the project. In terms of milestones, as this 

edition of Club News prints, we will be: 

1. 100% complete in terms of the installation of 

all of our structural steel. 

2. Making ice again in both our curling and 

skating facilities. 

3. Back upstairs for spin classes 

(although still in temporary quarters). 

4. In the process of moving the 

administrative offices back upstairs and 

returning the 55+ area back to our seniors 

(thanks for your patience!). 

5. Nearing completion of the main Expansion 

structure and moving on to things like 

windows, roofs and interior finishing work. 

The view from the new third level running track is 

spectacular and we can look forward to enjoying 

unobstructed views of the Rockies to the West, the 

horizon past the airport to the East and downtown 

Calgary to the South. With the panoramic views and 

excellent facilities, we are certain that these new 

areas will become much loved features of our Club. 

In mid-November, we reclaimed about 40 

parking stalls up near the social entrance. 

Expansion U pdatEs 

Early in January, and just in time for the return of 

curling and skating, we anticipate regaining one 

more row of parking; as we will be able to park on 

top of our new locker room areas, while finishing 

work continues underneath. This should gain us 

about 20 more stalls, but our parking challenges 

are likely to continue until the completion of the 

Expansion in the fall of 2012. 

Excavation has begun behind tennis for the 

areas that will eventually become the new tennis 

building and additional parking stalls, but in the 

short term will be the construction staging site. 

The contractors will prep and park in this area 

while working on the main building. 

Our next inconvenience will be coming in the 

locker areas, as mechanical and electrical work 

will require access through both the men’s and 

women’s change rooms. The contractors are 

currently planning the details of this stage of 

the project and we will be working closely with 

all the trades to minimize member disruptions. 

There will be some challenges, and we thank you 

in advance for your patience and understanding. 

The new locker room areas are currently 

scheduled for completion sometime in March. 

Good weather throughout the fall, and the 

concerted efforts of the entire construction team 

have helped to move the project along, and we 

appear to be on track for our planned grand 

opening in September. 

We would like to thank members for their 

patience during construction, particularly during 

the winter months, which are the highest Club 

usage periods of the year.

sEa lions updatE 

You may have noticed that the Sea Lions 

hosted their annual Winter Cup at the end of 

November. As part of Swim Alberta, it is 

mandated that we host swim meets for the 

Southern Region. Our Winter Cup is very well received 

through out the swim community and we would like to thank 

all members for their patience while the cold pool was closed 

for the weekend. We would also like to thank the staff of the 

Club for their hard work to help make our meets successful. 

The biggest thank-you of all, though, must go to our parents. 

It takes 180 volunteer positions to run our meet, and Sea Lion 

parents fill most of them. Not only are they there during the 

meet, but also they take courses on how to run the meets and 

prepare weeks ahead to make sure everything goes smoothly. 

We will be hosting two other smaller meets this year and will 

help the Clippers run their swim meet as well, so the parents 

will still have more shifts to do. Swim parents truly are 

first-class volunteers! 

Our coaches have been training our swimmers hard; the 

senior swimmers even swam during their Christmas holidays 

and the results of all the hard work have been showing up 

in personal bests and the A, B and qualifying times that our 

swimmers are getting. Way to go Sea Lions! 

sEa spritEs updatE 

Sea Sprites are having great success in the 

beginning part of the year with 8 top 10 

finishes in the first 2 competitions of the 

year! A HUGE thank you to all the parents 

that volunteered at the November Figures meet. It was a big 

success and we couldn’t have done it without you! 

Our 13 - 15 team is hard at work preparing for trials for 

Alberta Winter Games. 

Fun was had by all at the Swan and Anchor evening... Our 

swimmers and their Dad’s did a great job!! 

We’re working hard for a very successful synchro season! Go 

Sprites!

We are delighted to announce that our new Assistant Squash 

Professional will be David Duncalf. After an extensive 

search, David was the standout candidate. David has the 

England Squash level 3 qualification and comes to us with 

over 10 years of coaching experience highlights of which 

include head professional positions at two of northern 

England’s premier squash clubs as well as England Squash 

performance coach and academy director. David will be a 

great addition to our professional team. The immigration 

process is well underway and we hope to have David here in 

February at the latest. I hope you will all join us in 

welcoming David to our club and making his transition to life 

in Calgary a smooth as possible. 

tournamEnt round-up 

Jester’s Junior Championships 

The annual Junior Jester’s was once again hosted by the 

Glenora Club Edmonton. This event is designated by Squash 

Canada as a core event meaning the entry list is much 

stronger than for a regular junior tournament provincially. 

With over 150 of the best juniors in Canada in attendance 

competition was always going to be fierce. Our juniors 

performed admirably coming out with the best results of any 

of the clubs taking part. Particular note should go to 

Hannah Treleaven, Noel Heaton and Jay Peris who won 

their events; Jarrett Peris who was second in his; and 

William Kuhn, Brett Schille, Graham Kerford and Tyson 

Schille who came third in theirs. 

world Health Edgemont Junior Open 

The World Health Club Edgemont hosted the second of the 

local junior events. Our junior program was, as always, well 

represented with 27 juniors from the CWC in attendance. 

After a couple of days of high class squash, our juniors came 

away with some great results. Congratulations to all who 

competed especially: 

Champions: 

Graham Kerford - Boys U17/19 

William Kuhn - Boys U13 

Jay Peris - Boys U13/15 Novice 

Runner-up: 

Tyson Schille - Boys U11 

Aaron Kunik - Boys U15 

Hannah Treleaven - Girls U15-19 


Calgary Open 

The Glencoe Club hosted this year’s prestigious annual 

Calgary Open. With a strong field from across Alberta every 

draw was bound to be tough. After a long weekend of top 

squash the champions were crowned. Congratulations to all 

Winter Club members who took part, in particular, champion 

Susie King and runners up Neil Pohlman, Ian Sefton, Brett 

Schille, Hannah Treleaven, Kelly Clements and Emilie 

Heaton. 

Bankers Hall no frills 

As usual, the Bankers Hall event sold out in record time _ a 

combination of excellent value for money and a downtown 

venue seems to trigger a real buzz in the squash community. 

123 players registered, a total sell out. With the perfect 

combination of great squash and a relaxed social atmosphere 

the event was a true success. Congratulations to all CWC 

members who took part, in particular Ian Sefton who 

dominated the men’s level 2 category.

the More You Move, the Better You Feel! 

By Kelly Skeavington – Forever Fit Coordinator 

Welcome to a brand new year full of exciting possibilities! 

Now is the time to incorporate physical activity into your life. 

It’s one of the most important things you can do as you get 

older to maintain your physical health, your mental health 

and your quality of life. Walking, stretching and keeping your 

muscles in good condition will help you maintain your 

independence and it can help offset many of the effects of 

certain diseases and disabling conditions. 

Getting started is easier than you think! 

• Build physical activity into your daily routine 

• Do the activities you’re doing now, more often 

• Walk wherever and whenever you can 

• Start slowly with easy stretching 

• Move around frequently 

• Take the stairs instead of the elevator 

• Find activities you enjoy 

• Take a class at the Calgary Winter Club! 

New Forever Fit class schedules will be posted around the 

club. Take a drop-in class or register for a specialized class. 

Just do it! Don’t delay – be active every day! 

arE you onE oF thE 30% oF oldEr adults at risk For a Fall? 

Submitted by Jackie St.George-Rennie Physiotherapist, Calgary Winter Club Physiotherapy Clinic 

Adapted from “Fall Prevention”; the Canadian Physiotherapy Association 

Yes, statistics show that approximately 30% of older adults will fall at least once a year and injury will occur in 50% of those 

who do fall. 

Falls are not a normal part of aging, but physical changes that occur with aging can increase the risk of falling. These changes 

can include a decline in muscle strength and flexibility, slower balance reflexes and vision problems. Diseases such as arthritis, 

stroke and inner ear problems, and some medications may also contribute to a fall. 

what can you do? 

1. Try to be physically active everyday to improve your posture, 

muscle strength and balance. 

2. Have your vision and hearing checked each year. 

3. Wear a good pair of lace-up shoes. High heels and slippers can 

increase the risk of slipping and losing your balance. 

4. Use an aid such as a cane or walker for walking if necessary and 

view them as tools that will help you maintain your health and 

not as a sign of weakness. 

5. Make your home safer: 

• Improve the lighting in your home 

• Remove things that you can trip over from stairs and places 

where you walk 

• Have handrails installed and adequate lighting on all 

staircases 

• Remove throw rugs or use double sided tape to keep rugs 

from slipping 

• Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on the shower floor 

• Have grab bars installed next to the toilet and in the tub or 

shower 

• Be mindful around pets at your feet as they can cause you to 

trip 

• Keep paths and driveways clear of snow and ice in the winter 

If you would like more guidelines or even a few simple exercises to help you prevent a fall, stop by the Physiotherapy Clinic in 

the Fitness and Lifestyle Center. We will be happy to help you stay injury free!

Modality Spotlight: Pregnancy Massage 

By Kris Gregory 

With an estimated 18,000 babies to be born in Alberta in 2011 

and approximately 9,000 of them in Calgary alone, there will 

be no doubt that many expectant women will be needing a 

good relaxing massage to help them. 

Pregnancy massage has many benefits to an expectant 

mother. There are so many exciting changes in a pregnant 

body, both physically and physiologically. Massage is an 

excellent means of reducing stress, and reducing the aches 

and pains of the changing body. 

Pregnancy massage is relaxing, helps to release muscle 

tension, and promotes better circulation. The massage can 

help to reduce edema (swelling) in the legs and hands. The 

low back and gluteal muscles in mid-pregnancy can become 

irritated, and will persist through to the end of the pregnancy. 

Regular maintenance massage can provide a reduction in the 

chances of developing the very common and painful 

pregnancy sciatica. 

At the beginning of each massage, the position for the 

massage will be decided, as this can change from week to 

week. For the first 14 weeks, regular prone position is 

permitted in most pregnancies. For the remainder of the 

pregnancy either using Body Cushions or the side-lying 

position is a safe and comfortable alternative. 

If the pregnancy is high risk, massage is still a possibility. 

In some cases, a note from your doctor may be required. All 

necessary precautions will be taken to ensure the safety of 

both the baby and the mother. 

Postpartum massage is a welcome treat as the body slowly 

returns to normal. Neck and backaches associated with breast 

feeding are quickly released. Kris welcomes all newborns to 

be at the massage with mom if she likes. The massage table 

can be moved against the wall with the baby lying beside 

mom. In this situation, only the side lying position can be used. 

Pregnancy massage is an essential part of your pre-natal care.

Organic Wine: 

What should you knoW? 

By Paul Martzoukos, soMMelier 

This past Spring I spent a bit of time in the south of France at the 

worlds only Organic Wine Show, Millesime Bio, and I would like to share 

with you something that I learned from this outstanding show about 

Organic wines. 

Now I confess I have had my doubts about the Organic wine movement. 

In the 90’s when organic wines started hitting the shelves, you 

were clearly paying a premium to purchase a wine that was grown 

“organically”. Further, there were groups of people who followed the 

teachings of Rudolf Steiner and his Bio-Dynamics theories. Many 

winemakers called them crazy and felt that their practices were 

unnecessary and were essentially marketing driven. 

To clarify, Organics is the absence of chemical additives such as 

herbicides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers. In Bio-dynamics you take 

it one step further by ‘feeding’ the soil with a number of prescribed 

treatments, and doing so in alignment with the cycles of the moon. The 

aim is to create a healthier, more biologically diverse soil for the plants 

to grow in. This in conjunction with practices that encourage the 

presence of beneficial plants and “bugs”, means the overall environment 

is healthier, leading to healthier and more disease resistant vines. 

While in France I visited an Organic producer who gave me great 

perspective on this whole situation. He said that these pioneers 

worked out the kinks and figured out how to improve the health of the 

vineyard, produce better fruit, and do it all economically enough to be 

viable. Their challenge was that though these visionaries were great 

grape growers most were only average winemakers. The result were 

wines that did not quite deliver the quality of conventionally grown 

grapes at a given price point. 

How times have changed. The body of knowledge available to grape 

growers now is impressive. And winemakers have jumped on board. 

The fact is, a healthier vineyard producers better fruit, and good 

winemakers can convert these into outstanding wines that are at least 

as good as a conventionally produced wine at a given price point. 

Perhaps the biggest challenge facing organic producers is the 

frustrating lack of consistency in certification. No two certification 

organizations have the same standards and there are dozens of 

organizations. Many producers refuse to become certified, and many 

more use organic practices without making mention of them. 

The future is bright for this movement. What was obvious to me at 

Millesime Bio was that the wines are getting better and better. Healthy 

vineyards produce better wines and each year these vineyards are 

getting healthier. Certainly the arguments for organics and bio-dynamics 

are becoming almost impossible to ignore. And you can now enjoy 

outstanding organic wines at great prices; how can you argue with that!

Skating Professionals 

Tina-Marie yenna | Director of Skating 

When Tina-Maria Yenna started at the Calgary Winter Club in 2009 she was hired on as a part time figure 

skating coach. It didn’t take long for Tina-Marie to grab the attention of not only the members but her 

colleagues and the Club’s senior managers as well. In just a few short months Tina-Marie moved from a part 

time figure skating coach to a full time administrator and figure skating professional. Tina-Marie’s attention to 

detail, energy and dedication is now the driving force behind the entire Skating Section. 

Prior to coming to the Calgary Winter Club, Tina-Marie was on tour with Disney on Ice for a period of twelve 

months. This was an extremely fun and exciting time for Tina-Marie; traveling the world and doing what she 

loves to do - skate! “The perks and the opportunity to travel the world really made living out of a suitcase 

worth it for those twelve months,” states Yenna. Tina-Marie got into Disney on Ice at a Canadian National 

competition where she was scouted to join the team. After a successful and rewarding experience Tina-Marie 

returned to Calgary; she knew that Calgary was always going to be her home base. 

Down the road Tina-Marie does see a great deal of positive growth happening at the Club, “I would like to 

turn the CWC into a competitive Skating Club, and bring a little more oomph to the entire Skating Section,” 

states Yenna. 

The Calgary Winter Club is extremely lucky to have Tina-Marie Yenna as the Director of Skating. Tina-Marie 

comes to work every day with a smile on her face and enjoys working with each member to help them realize 

their skating potential. “I strive to help each skater be the absolute best they can be,” states Yenna. The 

Calgary Winter Club has always had a great Skating Section, with dedicated professionals and enthusiastic 

skaters, and with Tina-Marie leading the team there is no telling what heights can be reached! 

linda Higgins | Artistic Coordinator/Skating Professional 

Linda Higgins has been a member of the Calgary Winter Club Skating team for over ten years and has taught 

everything from group and private lessons to high level competitive testing. Linda really loves the creative 

and artistic aspect of skating; she loves to see things develop into the bigger picture. 

Linda skated competitively for over 7 years and also had the privilege of skating with Disney on Ice and 

the Ice Capades from 2001 until the end of 2002. Her experience and background provided her with the 

knowledge and teaching skills to help bring our young skaters to the next level. “With anything you do, the 

more you practice, the more comfortable it becomes. This is when you really start to see the rewards of your 

hard work,” states Higgins. 

Moving forward Linda would like to see the Club, and our skaters, really utilize the facilities that are available. 

“There is so much potential with the Fitness Centre and studios that our skaters can really benefit from,” 

states Higgins. The Club is very fortunate to have the creativity and experience that Linda brings to the table 

and our skaters will continue to grow and learn under her teaching and direction. 

natasha Taylor | Skating Professional 

Natasha Taylor came to the Calgary Winter Club approximately 4 years ago as an administrator, payroll 

assistant and Skating Coach. Natasha has incredible skating talents and is a key contributor to our Skating 

Section. Currently Natasha teaches private lessons and some spin classes; she also coaches the Junior Group 

and the Figure 8 Club. 

During her time here at the Calgary Winter Club, Natasha has had the opportunity to compete in some very 

high level competitions. In 2009 Natasha competed at the Canadian Nationals, in the Triathlon division, which 

combines free skate, interpretive and skating skills all into one multi-segmented event. Natasha also had the 

privilege to represent Canada at the 2010 World Adult Championships in the same event. Way to Go Natasha! 

Natasha has a special place in her heart for the kids at the Calgary Winter Club, and this is one of the main 

reasons why she loves teaching here. “I love the kids at the Club and the access to ice time is a real bonus 

when teaching all of our students,” states Taylor. With Natasha’s wide range of skating skills and knowledge 

the Junior Skaters at the Club are in very good hands.
