Memorable Moments 

Legacy Award 

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary have awarded Doug Baisley, 

long time Calgary Winter Club member, their first Legacy Award. 

Doug was selected to be the first recipient awarded for his 

leadership with the BGCC Board of Directors from 1976 to 1990 

and for his continued support of the children, youth and families 

involved with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary. 

Doug played a key role during the years in which BGCC began 

focusing on young people who were dropping out of school, 

and homeless teens who were becoming a concern for the 

community. With all the work he has done for Calgary’s kids, he 

is most proud of the Board role he played in the development of 

Avenue 15. 

Thoughout his many years with Boys and Girls Clubs, Doug’s day job was with Pacific Petroleum, 

PetroCanada and eventually SunCor. Since he is still a part of SunCor’s retiree group, Doug continues to 

leverage his donations to Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary with SunCor’s matching program. 

Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary have been supporting low-income children and youth in Calgary since 

1939, through many community changes. What remains the same however, is that caring adults truly 

change the lives of children. For the many ways Doug has cared for the kids in the Boys and Girls Clubs, 

they were pleased to present Doug Baisley with their first Legacy Award. 

Innisfail Triathlon 

This summer a group of Calgary Winter Club members 

took on a new challenge; they all committed to a beginner 

triathlon training program held by the Club, and led by 

Personal Trainer Shannon Summersides. The training 

consisted of two workouts for each discipline (swimming, 

biking, and running) each week. The training was a new 

challenge for the group, and everyone committed to the 

program and worked hard during the workouts. They all 

went out of their comfort zones and improved immensely 

over the summer! On September 10, 2011 the group 

met in Innisfail for a sprint triathlon; this would be the 

culmination of all their hard work! Everyone in the group 

completed the distance and had a blast! Come up to the 

Fitness Center and check out some photos from the race! 

The group did really well and we are proud of their 

commitment to a healthy lifestyle. 

Triathlon participants include members: Sarah Paranych, Tony Jarvis, Jill McCormick, Roberta Delidais, 

Joanne Hansen, Gail Peris, Kathy Lewis, Katy Cascadden, Joan Cascadden and Diane Boutin.

At the CWC AGM on September 27 th , we continued with the annual progression of our Club’s governance model, with two 

changes to our Board; Michael Lang completed his term in his final position as our Board Chair and Gail Yester was elected 

as a new Director. The following Directors were re-elected for a second term; Deborah Eastwood, Dan Halyk, Barbara 

McDonald, Tim Watson and myself. Mike Boyle now transitions from President to Chairman and Dan Halyk is the new Vice 

President. 

On behalf of our Membership, I would like to thank Michael Lang for his leadership and dedication to our Club during a period 

of significant change. I would also like to thank all our existing Directors for their continued commitment to the Club and 

welcome Gail to her new position. We are fortunate to have a very effective Board, with all Directors bringing their talents, 

experience and business knowledge into a cooperative mindset and working hard to govern our Club on the basis of solid 

values, guiding principles and best business practices. The result for all of us is a Board that operates with the best interests of 

the Club Membership at all times. We are also fortunate to have our Management Team, led by CEO Kevin Boyles, executing 

the operations of our Club with the same core values, principles and business practices in an open and transparent fashion. 

My family joined the CWC 16 years ago. Along with my wife Melissa, and sons Justin and Matthew, we have experienced and 

enjoyed most of the areas of the Club as an extension of our daily routines. The Club’s comfortable and welcoming 

environment has given us the opportunity to form and develop life long relationships. Both of my sons have participated as 

high performance international athletes, having had their beginnings, development and support coming from the climate and 

culture of our Club. In past years, mostly due to their academic and athletic activities, I have enjoyed opportunities to volunteer 

with other organizations through various Board/Council/Committee positions; including coaching Junior Club and Provincial 

Rugby, and in my most recent volunteer position as a Section Lead at Cypress Mountain during the 2010 Olympics. This was 

perhaps one of my most enjoyable volunteer initiatives. 

While these past roles have assisted me with my CWC duties, I was originally asked to become a Director due to my real estate 

development and construction experience. My company has provided development management services for a number of 

companies (including WestJet) and we are in the final completion stages of the 350,000 square foot Le Germain Hotel/Office 

and Condominium mixed use development on the corner of 9 th Avenue and Centre Street in downtown Calgary. 

Over the past 3 years, I have enjoyed my Board position, working on various Committees and learning much about the internal 

workings of our Club. As your President, I am excited to continue to execute on the many initiatives that the Board and our 

Management Team have developed to build on our Club’s strong foundation. As Members, over and above the normal 

operations of the Club, we have seen many changes over the last two years, including some of the following significant 

initiatives: 

• Completion of the Club’s Expansion Master Plan and securing Member and City approval to proceed with construction. 

• Hiring Kevin Boyles as our new CEO/General Manager in the Fall of 2011. 

• Completion of an in-depth review of the Club’s Food & Beverage operations through the Finance Committee. 

• The establishment of four new Board Committees; Food & Beverage (chaired by Dale Johns), Heritage (chaired by 

Deborah Eastwood), Communications (chaired by Barb McDonald) and Retail (chaired by John Stiles). 

• The introduction of a number of policy changes designed to benefit current and future Members including; a lifetime 

waiver of the Annual Dues for the Club’s remaining Charter Members, a revised Social Wait List option which expands the 

demographic of families who can afford to access the Club, and a number of initiatives designed to ensure that all Members 

contribute equitably to the financial operation of the Club and utilize the Club appropriately. 

There is no doubt that Our Club has seen more changes in recent years than would be considered normal. With what appears at 

times to be endless change and transformation, we understand that some of our Membership may have concerns and/or desire a 

higher level of awareness and communication.

President’s Message Continued from Page 3... 

For those of you who did not attend our AGM, the need for this increased awareness and understanding was clearly 

communicated, and has been acknowledged by our Board and Club Management. It was also brought to our attention that, due 

to recent staffing changes at our Club, the rumor mill has been particularly active with comments questioning the business 

practices and integrity of our Board and Senior Management. These comments were particularly disturbing to me and I would 

like to take this opportunity to set the record straight, without disclosing any sensitive or personal information. Please 

understand that; 

1. There is no policy or mandate by our Board and Management to “clean house” or terminate individuals employed by 

the Club. 

2. Within the last couple of years concerns over compliance with the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA), in relation to 

employee contracts and relationships, have become a significant concern for the private Club industry. Like many 

other private Clubs, we had multiple examples of employee/contractor relationships that were non-compliant and that 

exposed the Club to significant risk. 

To ensure compliance with the CRA, and to establish consistency and transparency in relation to our Club’s management and 

Sport Professional employment structure/compensation model, Kevin Boyles and the Senior Management Team have 

completed an in-depth review and proceeded, with Board input and approval, to restructure these components of our Club. We 

now have a standardized, clear and consistent employment structure for all of our Senior Managers and Professionals, and all of 

these individuals have been recently signed to new employment agreements with the Club. 

In moving forward and correcting our course, Club Management has kept the Board fully informed and has obtained Board 

approval prior to executing their plans and strategies to eliminate our risks and exposures. Management has also relied on 

external legal advice in relation to all employee actions and changes to employee relationships. No action has been taken 

without the careful consideration of Management, the Board, and our external legal council. 

Our Board and Senior Management of the Club are philosophically aligned, and with this restructuring in the final stages of 

completion, I can assure our Membership that we will no longer allow our Club to be at risk and we will continue to direct and 

support Management to take action as is required; based on solid core values, the highest degree of integrity and professional 

business practices. 

This will continue to be a year of significant change at the CWC, due to our recent Senior Management changes, the 

completion of Phase 1 of the Expansion, and with new programming and opportunities emerging throughout the Club. Despite 

all attempts to keep members informed, questions will still surface and clarification will be required. I would encourage our 

Members, who have specific concerns or need clarity regarding an issue, to speak to Management directly rather than relying 

on rumors or hearsay. Our Management Team is approachable and committed to being available to every Member. Your Board 

Members are also a resource, but are not directly involved in the operations of the Club, so will most often refer your concerns 

to Management. 

We have a fantastic Club that will only improve under the outstanding leadership of Kevin Boyles and his Senior Management 

Team, along with your engaged and committed Board of Directors. We all look forward to an exciting year ahead. 

Sincerely, 

Paul Pasutto 

President, Calgary Winter Club

registration days 

We have changed our registration process. In the last number of registrations, the 

Club has not been satisfied with our registration mornings. Our system has not 

been able to keep up with the influx of volume during our seasonal registrations for 

programs. To ensure a smooth process for members, we have tried the following to 

improve things: 

• Upgraded our server 

• Moved registration morning to three mornings 

• Upgraded to a newer version of Gametime 

Even with these measures, the last registration was still not up to our standards of 

service. While we continue to research solutions and software systems, the Club 

has moved our registration mornings to a one day, spaced out registration on 

Sunday, December 4 th . This is so we can accommodate the volume in each area, 

and to respond to significant feedback that the morning sessions were not ideal for 

most members. We anticipate there will be a marked improvement in speed and 

service for our members.

magiC of CHristmas 

The Calgary Winter Club is proud to once again be part of the 

Magic of Christmas, a registered non-profit organization that 

brings the joy of Christmas to people who otherwise may not 

be able to enjoy this joyous season. Starting at 6:00 am on 

Christmas Eve morning, volunteers go to homes in need of 

loving, caring and sharing. Many homes are visited: homes 

where finances are stretched to the limits, homes where 

violence or death make it hard to be joyous. They also visit 

nursing homes and hospitals as they share not only Christmas 

gifts but also Christmas joy. 

We will be putting the tree up on December 1 st and invite 

everyone to join us in this worthwhile endeavor. Members 

and staff can select a tag from the Magic of Christmas Tree 

(in the main hallway across from the Sports Desk) and 

purchase a gift for a person as described on the tag. Then 

place the gift with the tag attached under the tree. Please do 

not wrap the present as they need to unwrap them to check 

the gifts before they can be delivered. The last day to drop off 

gifts is December 22 nd at Noon.

CHildCare foCus of tHe montH 

Thank you to all parents who have been diligent in keeping 

children who are under the weather at home. The staff and 

other parents appreciate this as it allows us to all stay 

healthier. The following are the guidelines of when children 

should stay home. As a courtesy to all other members and 

staff we ask everyone to follow these. If a child comes and 

our staff feel they are sick and should not be in childcare we 

will ask you to take them home, but we appreciate you 

making the call before it needs to come to this. 

Children should remain at home when: 

• They are too sick to go to school/day care 

• They have a fever 

• They have had 2 or more instances of diarrhea/vomiting 

in the past 24 hours. 

• They have an undiagnosed or contagious rash 

• They have any communicable disease (chicken pox, pink 

eye, etc) 

• They require medication to relieve any cold or flu 

symptoms 

• They have been on antibiotics for less than 24 hours

The Preschool and Childcare staff 

would like to wish all members and 

their families a great Christmas!

ironman Canada suCCess! 

August 28, 2011 marked a massive milestone in my life. I 

completed my first Triathlon which happened to be Ironman 

Canada 2011 (3.8km swim, 180km bike ride, 42 km run). 

Needless to say a plethora of emotions were running rampant; 

enlightenment, fear, uncertainty, doubt, excitement etc. All 

were replaced with peace, excitement and a sense of 

fulfillment as I crossed the finish line. Throughout the journey 

leading up to and finishing the race enhanced ALL aspects of 

my life; relationship, professional, spiritual and social. 

An objective of the Fitness and Lifestyle Centre is to create 

an opportunity for you to find something to reach beyond 

your comfort zone and experience a different level of life. For 

you, what will that be? We want to help you discover your 

greatness.

How to choose a trainer 

Deciding to hire a trainer can be a daunting task leaving you 

unsure of whether or not you will find the right fit. This is a 

commitment of your time and money; you want to make the 

best decision. The confusion results in procrastination or 

finding a trainer not in alignment with your goals. Here are 

some questions you can ask to help make your decision: 

• Does the trainer have practical experience in the area 

you want to focus in? 

• Do you connect with the trainer? 

• If you visit the Fitness Centre on a regular basis, watch 

how the trainer interacts with their clients, do you like 

their style? 

• When in a consultation or discussion, is there a 

progressive plan for moving forward with your results 

ie: what metrics will be measured and when? 

To help you choose the best trainer for you please contact

no time to stretCH? tHink again! 

Article by Personal Trainer Lana Libke 

It doesn’t matter if you are an athlete, fitness enthusiast, a 

walker, or a couch potato, everyone needs to stretch and do 

so on a daily basis! As we age our connective tissue stiffens 

which has a negative impact on our health and physical body. 

Flexibility is a use it or lose it physical attribute so “the less 

you move, the less you are able to move!” When we are 

active (gardening, hiking, weight training, running, etc.) we 

generate tension in our muscles making them shorter and firm 

like Popeye’s bicep. If we don’t release the tension it tends 

to stay within the muscle making it progressively shorter and 

tighter. 

No matter how you get them (active or inactive) the results 

are the same. Tight muscles have reduced circulation 

resulting in slower removal of toxins and waste and also a 

slower or reduced uptake of nutrients and oxygen necessary 

to repair damaged muscles. 

What does this mean to you? 

• Your muscles will take longer to recover from a run or 

workout 

• Tight muscles will fatigue faster thus limiting your ability 

to enjoy your activity 

• Don’t know how to stretch? 

• Try using a foam roller or rolling on balls 

• Ask a Fitness Consultant or Personal Trainer 

• Attend a Drop-In Yoga Flow or Express Stretch Class 

Do yourself a favour and make stretching a daily habit just 

like your multi vitamin!

Gone are the days when massage 

therapy was considered a luxury to 

be had at weekend getaways and 

spas. 

Today, massage therapy has become 

an essential part of healthy 

living and an active lifestyle. 

What is massage? Massage is the manipulation of superficial 

and deep layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance 

function, aid in the healing process, and promote relaxation 

and well-being. It was a part of ancient culture dating as far 

back as 2000 B.C. and carries on today. 

Some of the benefits of massage therapy are: 

• Pain relief 

• Reduced anxiety/depression 

• Reduced blood pressure 

• Reduced adhesions and scars in soft tissue and muscles 

• Quicker recovery from injury 

• Helps prevent injury 

• Complementary to other health professions like 

physiotherapy and chiropractics 

Massage therapy is of benefit to you whether you are young 

or old, an athlete preparing for the big meet or the weekend 

warrior just trying to make it to the weekend from a hard 

weeks’ work. Book through Gametime with one of the club’s 

licensed and certified massage therapists today. 

MODAlitY sPOtliGHt: strAiN/COuNter-strAiN 

teCHNiQue 

In this issue, I’d like to introduce a massage modality called 

Strain/Counter-strain Technique. More accurately, Strain/ 

Counter-strain is an osteopathic technique first discovered by 

Dr. Lawrence Jones and is employed by the massage therapist 

to reset an abnormal muscle reflex. Abnormal muscle reflex, 

when left untreated, may lead to poor posture over time and 

increased risk injury. 

With this technique, the practitioner feels for tender spots 

along the affected muscle/soft tissue and after identifying 

these spots employs this passive and gentle technique for 

ninety seconds to reset the muscle to its natural resting 

position resulting in pain-free movement. 

Strain/Counter-strain is a great compliment to deep 

therapeutic massage other methods of myofascial release. 

Eric Josue and Darlene Diminutto are both trained in Strain/ 

Counter-strain technique. Book your appointment today and 

learn more about it and its application.

The Club is pleased to announce the appointment of 

Tina-Marie Yenna as Skating Director for the Calgary 

Winter Club. The new position of Skating Director was 

created following an extensive review of the skating 

section that included consideration of our program offerings, 

administrative structure, current staffing model, and future 

section goals. We are also pleased to retain the services of 

Linda Higgins in the new role of Artistic Coordinator/Skating 

Coach. We look forward to seeing what this dynamic duo can 

accomplish for the entire skating section.

Our skaters have been back in full swing at Norma Bush and 

Murray Copot arenas. It is fantastic to see everyone out there 

skating with such enthusiasm and direction! We spot many 

candidates deserving an award for skater of the month, making 

it very hard to decide. 

There are many candidates deserving an award for ‘skater of 

the month’ making it very hard to choose one person. 

October’s winner is Larissa Kelly; with ongoing 

concentration, being on time and the development of good 

work ethics, she has stood out to the coaches this month. 

Excellent job Larissa! 

Pictured Above: Mackenzie Meyer, Megan Jones, Larissa Kelly,

We hope to celebrate our Winter Wonderland Festival with 

beautiful colors and songs of Christmas, inviting all members 

to join in a skate with Santa and Mrs. Clause to follow. 

Information for these events will be posted on the website as 

well as the skating area bulletin board. Make sure to check it 

out! 

We are eager to get back to our brightly painted arena and 

smooth ice surface complements of a new mini-zamboni! We 

look forward to the new year! 

CoaCHes tip 

All of the CWC skaters are showing such progress in their 

routines of practice with our busy on ice sessions. 

Keep in mind; skaters that are in lessons or doing their 

programs have priority regarding ice traffic. Awareness of 

other skaters and their work patterns is something that is 

obtained in time, so keep practicing and watching out for each 

other! 

Lesson time goes by quickly. Coming back to the coach 

quickly and staying focused with eye contact make for a 

more productive lesson. Remembering key words, points or 

positions by repetition directly following the lesson helps the 

skater maintain information. It is a good idea to develop a 

personal skating journal with goals, notes, practice plans, 

pictures, stickers or anything that comes to mind in 

connection to this creative sport. Parents and coaches can 

better understand the direction of thinking with their athlete if 

they choose to share what’s in their book of inspiration. 

Enjoy your skating and keep up the great work!

Calgary Winter Club’s 

Clip ’n Climb Climbing Centre – Expansion 2012 

From preschoolers to recycled kids; everyone will love the 

physical and mental challenges in the Calgary Winter Club’s 

new “Clip ‘n Climb” Climbing Centre. Nine “Tru-Blue” auto-belay 

devices will take up the slack as you climb one of the fun and 

interactive features, then safely lower you to the ground when 

you reach the top or fall off the wall. How easy is that!? 

The hottest action attraction to come out of New Zealand since 

the Bungy Jump, Clip ‘N Climb is climbing wall meets theme park; 

an action packed activity with individually themed climbing 

features that provide healthy challenging fun for everyone! 

Clip ‘n Climb components come in a variety of cleverly designed 

sizes (see right) and each one is a people magnet. The Climbing 

Centre will provide participants with healthy physical exercise 

and mental and emotional challenges. Climbing develops 

strength, balance, flexibility and is very much about problem 

solving. It helps develop self confidence, self esteem and 

encourages peer support and communication. 

We’re excited to be able to bring the Clip ‘n Climb Climbing Centre 

to the Club. With current locations in New Zealand, Australia and 

Ottawa (to date), we will be just the second Clip ‘n Climb Centre 

in North America, and the only private Club to offer this fun and 

exciting climbing experience. Watch for the opening and more 

information for the Climbing Centre in the summer/fall of 2012! 

You can also visit www.clipnclimb.co.nz for details.

Joan riCHardson memorial sCHolarsHip 

Winner: miCHelle CHang 

Michelle has been attending karate once a 

week for the last eleven years of her life. 

The primary objective of this was to teach 

self-control, respect and dedication. Karate 

has been a quiet mentor in her life which 

has instilled humility and has taught her the 

value of giving back to the community. 

Over the years, as a Club member, she has participated on 

many competitive ladders and teams. Some recreational and 

others competitive – some of her sports included badminton, 

figure skating, synchronized swimming and the Tsunami lifesaving 

squad. She has competed nationally on two aquatics 

teams; the Sea Sprites and the Tsunamis. Both teams allowed 

her to pursue her love of swimming. 

Michelle thanks swimming, for allowing her to meet new 

people and participate in the world around her. She hopes 

to be able to continue to learn something new every day and 

have adventures and fun in life. She also thanks the Calgary 

Winter Club athletics program, which has inspired her to 

make a difference, stand up for what she believes in, work 

with kids, pursue medicine and to love life. 

In the future, she would like to become a reconstructive 

surgeon. In this job, she would be able to help children with 

deformities, such as those with burns and cleft palates, to 

have a second start.

sCott soutHWood 

Scott participates in Lifesaving, a sport 

which combines competitive swimming 

with lifesaving skills. Throughout his 

eleven years of competing, he has found 

great success as a result of his dedication 

and commitment. He has won four 

Provincial Championships, five National 

championships and holds five Canadian records. This past 

May, at the Canadian Lifesaving Championships his 

performances in the pool granted him a spot on the Canadian 

Senior National Team. He has been selected to represent 

Canada as a key member of the team which is in Durban, 

South Africa at the Commonwealth Lifesaving Championships. 

At 18 years of age, he is the youngest member ever to 

be on Team Canada. 

Through High School, Scott was very involved with Student 

Council and volunteered to be the Vice President of Finance. 

He also worked alongside the Principal and Vice Principal 

to create policies that improved the school atmosphere. Last 

June, he travelled to Cartago, Costa Rica to volunteer in a 

daycare for children with a single parent. For 3 weeks he 

volunteered everyday planning activities, games, crafts, 

sports, as well as fed, cleaned and helped organize things 

in the daycare so that the 12 children could have a positive 

change in their lives. Scott is hoping to use the travel 

opportunities from the Lifesaving Sport Competitions to not 

only compete, but to volunteer where he can. 

Scott is enrolled at the Haskayne School of Business at the 

University of Calgary, where he is pursuing a Bachelor of 

Commerce degree with a major in accounting. He hopes to 

then continue his education in this field to become a 

Chartered Accountant. 

speeding and drop off zone 

With the fall programs operating again, the volume of traffic through the parking lot and driveways has increased. Members 

are reminded as you enter the parking lot, the driveway to the right is for drop off only, not access to the parking lot. Speeding 

through the parking lot has become an issue on several occasions and with so many small children around it is incredibly 

dangerous. Members are reminded that the speed limit is only 15 km/h. Please slow down for the safety of all members.

Water Walking 

Walking is one of the best, safest and most natural forms of 

exercise. You can, in fact, walk your way to a healthier, stronger 

cardiovascular system. Walking is an effective exercise 

for people of all ages and all states and levels of health. 

Now that the chilly weather is upon us, why not bring your 

usual outdoor walks to the warmth of the Beach Pool. 

Walking in waist to chest high water is a very good 

low-stress, high-intensity exercise. Unlike walking on land, 

the water adds a dimention of buoyancy which makes for less 

impact but also adds resistance. For higher intensity, run in 

the water or challenge yourself walking against the lazy river! 

(and you don’t even have to get your hair wet…) 

tsunamis update 

Team Canada takes 4 th place at the Lifesaving Championships 

in South Africa! 

A huge congratulations to our Winter Club Athletes: Scott 

Southwood (National Team), Gordon Heine 

(Developmental Team), Jessica Burkart (Developmental 

Team) who represented Canada at the 2011 Commonwealth 

Lifesaving Championships in Durban, South Africa. 

Some highlights from the event were: Scott placed 6 th in 

supersaver and 9 th in 50 carry! In throwing, Scott and an 

athlete from Ontario broke a canadian record with a 10:05 

second throw, his team also came 4 th in the obstacle relay, 5 th 

in the manikan relay, and 4 th in the medley relay! 

Jessica and Gord both A finaled. Gord had a best personal 

event of 5 th place in 50m manikin carry, and his team came 

4 th in the medley relay, while Jessica’s team came 4 th in the 

carry relay! 

The next major competition is the World Championships 

(RESCUE 2012) in Adelaide, Australia next November! 

Gordon Heine was quoted as saying, “It was a huge 

experience and great eye opener seeing what the rest of the 

world is doing in the sport of lifesaving and I definitely know 

now what I need to do to progress in the sport!” 

Scott Southwood was quoted as saying, “As an experience it 

was incredible, the people we met and learned from were 

amazing! It was such a great learning experience for everyone 

and was a great way to understand an international 

competition of that caliber. It definitely motivated everyone to 

continue to train in order to represent canada in the future, and 

definitely was a dream come true.”

Health benefits of swimming During Pregnancy 

What’s good and healthy about swimming workouts 

performed by pregnant women? 

It is a cardio workout which helps the cardiovascular system 

perform well, which is essential for proper development of 

the uterus. It also helps maintain healthy weight essential 

for healthy pregnancy. Another swimming health benefit for 

pregnant women is that it increases the flexibility of their 

body and softens their body tissues as well. Swimming can 

also be relaxing and reduces your stress, which is essential 

during pregnancy. 

Swimming also helps regulate your breathing pattern and 

it also increases the oxygen flow towards your muscles. It 

further helps improve the blood circulation. Swimming is 

also known to be good for physically challenged people. With 

swimming, health problems like leg pain and backache can be 

effectively cured. Another swimming health benefit is that 

it helps your strained spine get relaxed. A strained spine can 

lead to problems like headache and weakness. Swimming is 

known to cure problems like joint pain and high blood 

pressure.

summer Junior england experienCe 

For 10 days in July four of our current top juniors and one 

ex-junior were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to 

travel to England to train with a group of professional tour 

players. Each day they joined their illustrious training partners, 

led by world ranked number 37 Chris Ryder, for their 

twice daily training sessions. Hard work on the track, in the 

gym and, of course, brutal court sessions were the norm. 

Additional matches against locals were added into the mix. 

Their hard work and dedication has certainly started to pay 

off with excellent early season results in our recent Calgary 

Winter Club Junior Open. Kudos to Erin Roberts, Neil Pohlman, 

Evelyn Moorhouse, Ian Sefton and Graham Kerford. 

a+a Camp 

In August we launched our Altitude and Attitude high 

performance junior squash camps. Juniors from our club were 

joined by juniors from the Edgemont and Glencoe clubs. 

Lead coach Martin Heath expertly ran the daily sessions. 

Trying to impart over 20 years of knowledge in 5 days was 

Martin’s task. He managed it brilliantly, sharing stories of his 

time on the tour and showing a different approach to squash 

to our top athletes. Everyone had a great time and all athletes 

are looking forward to next season’s Altitude and Attitude 

camp which be even bigger and better.

Our annual season opening fun event yet again attracted a 

very keen field. Competitively formed teams lined up against 

each other Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. After 

some excellent early season squash was played, the scores 

were tallied and a very youthful team emerged as champions. 

Congratulations to Graham Kerford (captain), Brett Schille, 

Andrew Williamson, Brandin Roa and William Kuhn for 

taking down this prestigious title.

Calgary winter Club Junior Open 

The annual season opening junior tournament of the year was 

once again hosted by our club. With a total of 8 divisions 

to play for and the Winter Club well represented in each, as 

usual, expectations were high. Normally the event is seen 

as an early indication as to who will get their season off to a 

flying start. Several of our senior juniors were hoping their 

hard summer training would pay off. Indeed it did with some 

remarkably dominant performances coming especially from 

Evelyn Moorhouse, Graham Kerford and Ian Sefton. 

Congratulations to all the juniors who took part.

Absolute Return Investing Seminar 

Perfect Your Portfolio 

Traditional investing tends to split investment into two categories, 

Equity – which derives its value from economic growth and Fixed Income – 

which derives its value from interest rates. Not a whole lot of options! 

If economic growth is going to be slow and bond returns barely cover inflation 

are you wondering if there is something else you could be doing with your 

portfolio? We do, and we’d be happy to share some thoughts with you at our 

upcoming seminar! 

This important one hour seminar will be held on Thursday, November 10th at 

5:00 PM and then Tuesday, November 22nd at 5:00 PM. 

Host and Speaker 

Jonathan Lambe has spent 10 years managing money professionally for some of Canada’s 

biggest corporations where a return was expected whether markets went up or down. Jonathan

to decrease risk or increase returns in their personal portfolios. Jonathan graduated from the 

Haskayne School of Business in 1999 and was awarded the prestigious Chartered Financial 

Analyst (CFA) designation in 2005.

The Calgary Winter Club is 

proud to announce... 

We have partnered with “Respect 

In Sport”, an organization that is 

designed to educate and certify 

leaders of children. The education 

and certification is centered around 

the prevention of bullying, abuse, 

neglect and harassment in sports. This 

education will allow the Club to exhibit 

a few key features and philosophies: 

T H E C a l g a r y W i n T E r C l u b 

New Yoga Class - Yin Yoga! 

Saturdays from January 7, 2012 – March 17, 2012 

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm 

Zen Studio 

Yin yoga consists of passive seated and reclining poses, versus 

the active postures found in Yang yoga, and is softer and less 

aggressive. Because of the long duration of the postures, one of 

the key values cultivated in the practice of yin yoga is patience. 

• We are a leader in the industry when 

it comes to the safety and well being 

of our athletes and participants 

• We pride ourselves in providing our 

Leaders with the most up to date 

information regarding bullying, 

abuse, neglect and harassment 

• We take a vigilant stance against 

the above 

• We are committed to minimizing 

risk and liability to the organization 

and employee 

We anticipate that all our existing 

leaders will have completed this 

program, and be certified, by the 

middle of November. All new 

employees to the Club, who are 

deemed leaders of children, will be 

required to complete the certification 

process within the first three months 

of employment.

Why Should I Be Active? 

Physical activity is one of the most important things you can 

do to maintain your physical health, mental health and quality 

of life as you get older. Walking, stretching and using your 

muscles will help you maintain your independence. 

What are the benefits of being active? 

• meeting new people, feeling more relaxed, sleeping better 

• continued independent living 

• better physical and mental health 

• improved quality of life 

• more energy 

• move with fewer aches and pains 

• better posture and balance 

• improved self-esteem 

• weight maintenance 

• stronger muscles and bones 

• reduced stress 

Research shows that the more you move, 

the better you feel. You are never too old 

to start physical activity! So take the first 

step and take a class. All of our Forever 

Fit classes cater to all fitness levels and 

activity levels. We welcome everyone! If 

you have questions, please contact Kelly 

Skeavington at kellys@calgarywinterclub.com. 

Congratulations peter Connellan! 

Below is an excerpt from the Calgary Herald, October 17, 2011. 

Thirteen may be an unlucky number in some circles, but at 

the University of Calgary, 13 years in the 1980s and ‘90s 

summed up the best of times for its football program. That 

was the length of Peter Connellan’s tenure as head coach, 

which left an indelible impression - not to mention a legacy 

of excellence. 

Connellan was on Sunday named to the Canadian Football 

Hall of Fame class of 2012, entering as a builder. He joins 

former Mount Allison running back Eric Lapointe, ex CFLers 

Jack Abendschan, Damon Allen, Milt Stegall and Tyrone 

Jones (posthumous), as well as David Braley in the builder 

category. The induction ceremony will take place in 

September 2012. 

In those 13 years, Connellan coached the Dinos to four 

national championships (‘83, ‘85, ‘88, and ‘95) in five tries 

and eight conference titles.

Manager Profile 

The Calgary WinTer Club WelComes 

Jeff Merrin, our neW Food & beverage manager 

Club Management and the Board of Directors are pleased to announce, 

that after an extensive search, Jeff Merrin has been hired as the new 

Calgary Winter Club Food & Beverage Manager. Jeff comes to the Club with 

a wealth of culinary achievements, service knowledge and international 

experience. After graduating from Western University (with a B.Sc) in 

1997, Jeff worked in Japan for two years and developed a keen interest 

in international cuisine. This passion for cuisine led him to enrol in the 

Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park , New York. After graduating 

with honours in 2002, Jeff became an apprentice for A.C.F. Certified Master 

Chef, Kevin Walker. Also in 2002, Jeff was presented with the Service Award 

for “Best Front of House Service” by the Culinary Institute of America. 

After completing the first stage of his culinary journey, Jeff traveled to 

England to broaden his horizons and attained a position at the Mandarin 

Oriental Hyde Park, London under the direction of acclaimed Chef David 

Nicholls. During his time in England Jeff also gained significant experience 

at both One and Two Michelin Star ** establishments, which are known 

worldwide for their outstanding quality and unique culinary experience. 

Although Jeff enjoyed his time abroad, he always planned on returning 

to Canada. Upon his return he accepted a position at the famed Toque 

Restaurant in Montreal. After gaining some very valuable French cuisine 

experience, Jeff was ready to head West and has since worked with the 

Chateau Lake Louise, the Banff Centre and most recently as the Executive 

Chef at the Newport Grill in South Calgary. 

On a personal note, Jeff is an avid sports fan who is interested in sailing, 

rugby and enjoys sitting down and watching a good college football game, 

when he has the time. Jeff also loves to ski, hike, run and especially loves 

spending time with his family. Plus we just found out that Jeff’s family 

is about to get a little bigger, as him and his wife Erin are expecting their 

first child in April of next year! 

The Calgary Winter Club is excited to have such a talented and internationally 

experienced culinary mind joining our team as the new Food & Beverage 

Manager. Our Members can look forward to a fresh perspective and many 

new initiatives and offerings, including a renewed focus on exceptional 

service and member experience. Welcome to the Club Jeff!
