Memorable Moments 

We wish Greg Lundmark farewell after 14 years 

as General Manager of the Calgary Winter Club. 

Greg’s official last day at the Club was August 6th , 2010. It was 

with sadness that we said farewell but we truly wish him all the 

best in his future endeavours (even if it is with the competition). 

Greg accepted the position of CEO at the Glencoe Club and the 

Glencoe Golf & Country Club. 

Greg’s contributions to the Calgary Winter Club helped to make 

the Club what it is today and we appreciate all of his efforts 

and dedication over the years. 

Mark Your Calendars! 

The Marketing Team at the Calgary Winter Club has been working away, 

in partnership with Club Essentials, to bring you a completely new and improved website! 

calgarywinterclub.com | October.November 2010 

Both the public and private/members side of www.calgarywinterclub.com 

will be completely redesigned and modernized. 

The new website will be interactive, user friendly, easy to navigate, contain loads of 

important information for members to access and of course it will be nice to look at! 

The new site will be live on

More information to come ... stay tuned! 

The Calgary Winter Club is proud to use FSC-certifi ed paper 

in the production of this newsletter, demonstrating our 

commitment to the environment.

I am honoured to serve as President of the Club for the next 

year. 

The Club has an excellent Board of Directors who give freely 

of their volunteer time. I want to thank Michael Lang, our 

outgoing President, for his devoted leadership. I look forward 

to working with him as Board Chair. Angela Boehm, our 

outgoing Chair, worked tirelessly especially in bringing our 

Expansion to a successful vote. Also, I want to recognize 

Mark Stevens who is leaving the Board after serving two 

terms as a director. Please join me in welcoming returning 

directors Patricia Quinton-Campbell and Nolan 

Hindmarsh and new directors Jack Connell and Dale 

Johns. I want to thank Paul Pasutto for assuming the role of 

Vice President. 

Your Board is only one component of the volunteer base 

of our Club. We certainly owe a debt of thanks to all of the 

volunteers from the various program areas. I have attended 

Volunteer Appreciation Night at the Club and am amazed by 

the sheer number of people who volunteer. Thank you! 

I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the dedication and 

hard work of all Winter Club employees, which begins with 

that cheerful “hello” at the front desk as soon as you enter 

our facility. It should be our goal to keep this positive, helpful 

attitude moving through every area of the Club. 

For the fiscal year 2010 – 11, the Club has a number of 

challenges. On top of the list is the upcoming expansion. Both 

the Strategic Planning and Construction Committees have 

spent many hours in moving along our application for a 

Development Permit. As I write this, we are at the Pre 

Release Condition Stage and hope to have a final approval 

soon. Because of the time involved in this process, it is 

unlikely that construction will begin in earnest until February, 

2011. This is necessary so that there is minimal disruption 

to all program areas. The silver lining is that our contractor 

hopes to bring construction costs in at a substantially lower 

level when the tendering process begins. You can expect 

President’s Message 

Michael Boyle | 403.338-2418 | calgarywinterclub.com 

regular updates, both online and in the Club News, once the 

process is underway. 

A second challenge this year will be to replace our CEO. I 

want to take this opportunity to thank Greg Lundmark for 

the years of excellent leadership that he provided for the 

Club. I also want to thank Jan Bloemraad, our interim 

General Manager, and the whole management team for 

stepping in after Greg’s departure. The executive search firm 

of Conroy Ross is assisting us to find a new leader. We hope 

to have this process near completion by the end of October. 

Rest assured that the Club is in very good hands until the 

search is completed. 

A final challenge that the Board is very serious about is to 

make the Club experience the best that it can possibly be for 

members. From Food and Beverage to Fitness and all areas in 

between, we want members to be getting superior value and 

to make the Calgary Winter Club a place where they want to 

come and bring family and friends. Our successful CEO 

candidate will be aware that “SERVICE” will be a very 

important word in this Club. My goal is that the motto 

“Certainly We Can” will take on even greater meaning and I 

challenge all staff and volunteers to make our experience here 

one that will make us all proud. 

As we approach the end of our 50 th Anniversary year, I want 

to especially thank the committee that helped us mark this 

milestone. Their events gave us cause to reflect on the great 

efforts of those who came before us and to think about the 

generations that will follow. A lot has happened on this little 

patch of Nose Hill in the last 50 years. I pledge to you that 

our Board will continue to be cognisant of member needs so 

that the next 50 years will be even better. 

See you at the Club! 

Mike

Office. A copy of the schedule is also available on-line on the Club’s

Fall PrograM evaluation anD FeeDBaCk on-line 

Program instructors and Club Professionals would appreciate it if you could 

take the time to fill out the Program Evaluation and Feedback form that is 

available on the Calgary Winter Club’s website for all fall session 

programs. Program evaluation forms are available on-line under the 

“Activities” tab on the main menu. The on-line forms can be filled out and 

submitted directly from the website to the Athletic Director in confidence. Hard 

copies of the forms are also available at the Sports Office. The feedback you 

provide is valuable for our present programming and will help us to program 

more to your needs in the future. Thank you for your time and input. 

sPeeDing & DroP oFF Zone 

With the fall programs starting up, 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. This area is not intended for 

members to drive through on their way to a parking stall. 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 15km/h. Please slow down for the safety of all members. 

FaMily loCker rooMs 

Parents, please use the appropriate locker rooms if you and your child are of the 

same gender. The Family Locker Rooms are intended to be used by parents with 

children of opposite gender to themselves. Thank you for your cooperation.

interim general Manager Message 

Fall at the Club has come quickly again and as always, with 

this season, the Club comes back to life! Programs are in full 

swing and it seems that there is a buzz in the air, and a new 

found energy within our walls, that was missing during the 

quieter summer months. 

Of course this summer did see some activity in the Club, 

especially with the Fun Zone being a huge success. The Fun 

Zone was a popular destination on colder days over the 

summer months of which there were quite a few. As well 

many of the capital projects, which were previously approved 

by the Board, were completed during the summer months. 

Most notably the pool liner replacement and the Snack Bar 

hallway (including the badminton washrooms) refurbishment 

were the most significant projects. I believe both upgrades are 

major improvements to the Club, especially the pool which 

looks brand new again! 

As we look forward I am excited to bring to the membership 

a key direction that the leadership team of the Club is moving 

towards. Our employees are committed to making sure that 

this is the premier private Club in Canada.

The three key objectives we will embody to facilitate the 

above goal is to make sure we: 

1) Provide exceptional service and enhance member 

experience and communication 

2) Provide extraordinary facilities and activities 

3) Ensure a complete experience for the entire family 

I feel it is important that the membership knows the direction 

the leadership team has taken to move the Club forward, and 

the decision making criterion we will use this year with each 

situation we encounter. 

On behalf of all the Club employees, I pledge that we will 

demonstrate the above three intentions at all times if feasible. 

This is an amazing Club and for many members is an 

extension to their home. It is that culture and sense of 

community that we are committed to embracing and 

enhancing now and in the future. 

Jan Bloemraad 

On Saturday, September 18 th the honourable Jim Prentice, member of Parliament, Calgary Centre-North, presented a 

flag which was flown on the West Block of Parliament hill, along with a congratulatory message from the honourable 

Stephen harper, to the 55+ Section of the Calgary Winter Club in commemoration of the Club’s 50 th Anniversary. 

members can see the framed flag and message which is now hanging in the 

front entrance landing on the way up to the 818 Bistro. 

Thank you to all of those who joined us in the celebration!

This season we will be offering a

first session will take place on Friday, 

October 15 th from 6:00 to 6:30 p.m. We 

will be taking a hard look at the curling 

slide and breaking it down into 6 steps. Even the most 

seasoned league curler can benefit from this process as it 

forces slow and deliberate movement and encourages an 

overall-smoother and technically sound delivery. 

The November Toonie Tweak day will be Sweet to Sweep. It 

will run on November 19 th from 6 to 6:30 p.m. During this 

session we will focus on improving sweeping technique and 

weight judgment. A small fee of $2 will be charged. Please 

register on Game Time or speak to Kim in the curling office if 

you would like more information.

Our Snowy Owl Senior league that plays Tuesdays and 

Thursdays during the day is always looking for more spares. 

You’ll get lots of calls and as a CWC member, there is no

if either of those options turn your crank, give Harvey Hall a 

call at 403-547-1704 to register.

st niCk’s BonsPiel: nov. 30 & DeC. 1 - 2 

I know Christmas is not exactly on your mind yet but just a 

reminder that this year’s Ladies St. Nick’s Bonspiel is 

happening from November 30 - December 2. Keep your eyes 

peeled for the posters with all of the event details and 

registration information. This is an event you don’t want to 

miss - unless of course you aren’t into curling or fun that is! 

Curling area eMergenCy ProCeDures 

If someone in the curling area needs medical attention these 

steps should be followed to ensure the individual gets prompt, 

quality care. 

1. Stay calm, do not crowd the individual. Determine if 

they’d like to be seen by first aid. 

2. There is an emergency phone behind sheet #7. It is located 

in a blue cupboard with a red cross on it. Pick up 

the phone. This will put you through to the front desk. 

3. Tell the person on the phone what you know about the 

incident and possible injury. They will dispatch a 

trained first aid responder. 

4. While you wait for first aid if the individual is cold 

there is an emergency blanket stored in with the phone. 

Use the blanket to help keep the individual warm. 

Do not attempt to move them. 

5. When first aid arrives ensure they have ample room to 

provide assistance to the injured person. 

6. Ambulances to the curling area are instructed to go to 

the curling doors. A CWC staff member will meet them 

there and direct them to the individual needing medical 

attention. 

tiP oF the Month – saFe Curling 

Curling is not a dangerous sport but serious injuries can occur 

if you’re not careful. Ice is very hard and very slippery. It is 

easy to forget this as we get more comfortable throughout the 

season. This is when mistakes happen and injuries can occur. 

Here are a few suggestions to make this season a safer one: 

• Wear grippers at all times except when throwing rocks. 

• Ensure your grippers fit snugly and aren’t going to fall off. 

• Look out for other players when moving rocks around on 

the ice. 

• Be sure to step onto the ice with your gripper foot first and 

not your slider foot. Also be sure to step off the ice with 

you slider foot first and gripper foot second. 

• While it is important to stop rocks from running into the 

hacks do not put yourself at risk to do so. 

• Take things slow. While it is important to keep a game 

moving along at a nice clip, if everyone is where they’re 

supposed to be, it doesn’t have to be a race. Move on the 

ice at a safe pace.

Food For Thought 

i nSi Der ti PS 

Brought to you By 

the Calgary Winter Club Food & Beverage Team 

Hi, my name is Nancy Nolan; I am your new Executive Chef. We are fortunate at the Calgary 

Winter Club to have an extraordinarily talented group of people working behind the scenes in 

the kitchens as well as out front serving your food and beverage needs. It has been a pleasure 

getting to know everyone at the Club; you have all been exceedingly helpful and welcoming 

in my first few months here. 

For me, true gratification in my job comes from choosing and preparing the ingredients, 

getting everyone’s hands and minds involved in the process, maybe making a mistake and 

figuring out how to fix it, but ultimately making people happy with our efforts. 

We all know the kitchen can be the most technically demanding room in your house. In every 

Club News a member of our Food & Beverage team will provide you with some of our tips, 

tricks, or recommendations that may help you in your endeavors at home. 

buying lemons and limes – Try to buy the larger lemons and limes when you’re out shopping. 

The larger ones tend to be sweeter. If you are planning on juicing them, try putting the lemons, limes or 

oranges in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then let stand a few minutes before cutting them in half and 

squeezing. Also rolling rolling the the fruit between your hand and the the counter will help release release the the juices! 

Insider Tips 

avoiding spilled milk – Ever put a pot of milk on and walk away only to come back and it’s all over 

the cook top? Before you add the the milk to to the the pot, try rubbing butter along the the top top edge and inside the the rim 

of the pot. When the milk foams up, it will stop over spilling when it hits the butter. 

storing potatoes – Store your potatoes in a cool dark place. To prevent the potatoes from budding 

try placing an apple in the bag. Remember to change the apple every week.

sea lions uPDate 

The 2009-2010 swim season for our Sea 

Lions took hard work and dedication, but our 

swimmers had lots of fun. Our younger swimmers enjoyed 

their out-of-town swim meet in Fernie complete with t-shirts, 

a team building dinner and lots of time on the water slide! 

The senior swimmers had a great time in Victoria and really 

enjoyed a training camp in Costa Rica where they worked 

hard, but had time to go to the ocean, zip line and rafting in 

the rain forest. Many of our swimmers went to age group 

trials, age group championships, and Sara and Mark qualified 

for Nationals. We are really proud all our swimmers. 

This year, Bogdan, and his wonderful coaching team, has 

promised another swim meet to Victoria, a meet to Fernie for 

our younger swimmers, and a meet somewhere in the states 

(San Francisco?!) for our senior group in the late spring. 

We would like to thank the swimmers, coaches and parents 

for their commitment in the past year and are really looking 

forward to this year. Please check out our website at 

www.sealionsswimming.com or contact our coaches at 

sealions@calgarywinterclub.com if you are interested in 

joining our club. 

sea sPrites uPDate 

The CWC Sea Sprites Synchronized Swimming 

Club has begun a new season with a great deal 

of excitement and enthusiasm. We are going into 

the training and competitive season with twelve 

athletes comprising two teams in our 15 and 

under age group (U15); and teams of 6 - 8 athletes in each of 

our U8, U10 and U12 age group levels. The senior teams will 

be competing nationally for the first time, while the younger 

levels will be competing on a provincial or regional basis. 

The fall session is focused on training and skill development 

and competitions start in November, with the first Figures 

Competition being held at the CWC on November 7 th . Our 

annual Christmas Watershow, showcasing the early season 

performances that have been developed, is to be held at the 

Club on December 5 th . All are welcome to attend. 

Coach Jewely Walton has developed an exceptional program 

that we are confident will result in another highly successful 

year for the team. The girls are excited and working hard at 

excelling in their sport. Over the past few years, the CWC 

Sea Sprites have consistently performed as one of the premier 

synchronized teams in Western Canada. We welcome 

any interest or questions you may have about our sport or the 

program specifically.

Did you know… 

Exercising in the water is a wonderful way 

to workout. Water is a fascinating medium 

for strength training, cardiovascular 

workouts, balance training, sport-specific 

exercise, and rehabilitative exercise. 

Water provides resistance in multiple directions. It works 

muscles on both sides of a joint during the same movement. 

For example, in the water, a typical bicep curl will make both 

the biceps and triceps do work. Walking in water is double the 

workload of walking on land, if the same speed is maintained. 

Water provides twelve times the resistance of air. With the 

lungs submerged in the water, breathing is more difficult and 

strenuous, as the lungs must be inflated against pressure. 

Those exercising in the water can perform plyometric 

exercises without the impact of doing them on land. They can 

also perform sport-specific skills, especially balance and 

agility drills, without the fear of falling. 

Trainers and therapists who put their clientele in the water 

can work on the following: aerobic conditioning, strength and 

muscle toning, joint range of motion, proprioception and 

balance, core stabilization, posture, and functional exercise. 

Clientele who respond very well to aquatic exercise include 

those with arthritis, knee or hip replacements, spinal fusions, 

carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoporosis, pregnant women, and 

those needing stroke rehabilitation. 

Athletes looking for a good cross-training workout also 

respond well to aquatic exercise. Runners and triathletes can 

get a workout with less impact on their joints. The client does 

not need to know how to swim to be able to train in the water.

Dear Calgary Winter Club Members, 

E X P A N S I O N U P D A T E S 

This is the first Expansion Update we are providing to our members and we will continue to provide regular updates until the 

project is completed fall 2012. While there has been no actual construction activity, this initial stage does involve much planning, 

costing, evaluation and detailed design for structural, mechanical, electrical and architectural requirements. The project is 

progressing very well. 

U PDATE #1 

Our Architectural firm is Quinn Young Architects Ltd. led by Rob Young and our Construction Management firm is Chandos 

Construction led by Mike Coyne. We have been working with both groups since our Yes Vote and have established an Expansion 

Team Group which includes Club Management, Board representation through Paul Pasutto and Garry Lamb as well assembling 

our Construction Committee which includes, Garry Lamb as Chair, Paul Pasutto and Mark Stevens from the Board of Directors, 

Club members George Brown, Kathy McKay and Vince Davoli as well as representation from Club Management. The Strategic 

Planning Committee is still working on minor adjustments to the Master Plan through ongoing evaluation and integration of 

construction logistics, Club usage and economic efficiencies. The current focus remains the Phase 1 components of the Master Plan 

as presented to the membership earlier this year. 

Construction did not commence this summer as we were not able to obtain our Development Permit and we did not want to 

commence any construction until our Development Permit was approved. Last week we cleared the Development Permit approval 

process with the City of Calgary and we are currently working through normal Pre-Release Conditions and expect to have our DP 

finalized in the coming weeks. 

The delay in starting construction this summer, involving the structural work originally planned for the curling area, has resulted in 

a minimal change to our overall project completion date by just over a month. The decision to delay the start of construction until 

next spring was agreed to and supported by the entire Expansion Team. 

The next steps are to complete the architectural tender drawings as well as commencing the tendering process which will take us 

through January 2011. 

Construction is scheduled to start in February and the first sign of work will be on the outside in and around the Shipping and 

Receiving area which will have no impact to the interior or existing Club activities and programs. 

Curling leagues are starting a little earlier and will finish on March 12th, 2011 allowing Chandos to begin with the required structural 

work in the Curling area after the Curling season is completed. Interior work will not be evident until April/May 2011 which is being 

scheduled to minimize interruption to any existing Club activities. 

We will be providing regular updates regarding the overall project and the construction schedule for Club members via the 

Club Connections, Club News and our website. 

Sincerely, 

Garry Lamb Paul Pasutto

skater oF the Month aWarD 

We have introduced a new award this season. The recipient 

of this award will have shown most improvement overall in 

their skating progress and commitment to practice for that 

month. The winner will be recognized on our skating section 

bulletin board and awarded a prize for their accomplishments. 

The first “Skater of the Month Award” will be awarded October 

4th. 

WelCoMe kate MCCall 

We would like to give a warm welcome to Kate as she has 

officially joined our coaching staff. 

CoaChes tiP 

1. Commitment to practice, staying on the ice before and 

after lessons is crucial to creating progress in skating. 

To build adequate strength and overall technique, 

edge/spin classes, stroking and off-ice are important to 

developing a well rounded skater. 

2. Skates should be sharpened two weeks prior to a test 

or competition in order to allow time to adjust to the 

feel of the blade. Sharpening should be maintained 

throughout the season approximately every one to two 

months depending on the frequency of use.

PraCtiCe + PraCtiCe = results 

It is great to be able to take private lessons with a coach. But 

did you know that self practice can help us in our lessons? 

When your coach teaches you a new skill they expect you to 

go and practice it by yourself. You will notice much 

improvement in your skater if they are given the time to 

practice. 

We are looking forward to a successful season! 

Sincerely, 

The CWC Skating Section

badminton Professionals 

Dave McMaster | Head Badminton Pro 

The Badminton section has been fortunate to have Dave McMaster leading the charge for the last 23 years. Dave has been 

involved at the Club for a total of 28 years with a little bit of time helping out the squash and tennis sections before taking 

over his true passion as the full time Badminton Head Professional. 

Badminton has been one of the strongest areas at the Club since Dave has been with us. Dave is proud of the fact that we 

offer a very strong ladder section with all ages being represented. From the five to eight year olds all the way up to the 

masters and seniors programs that are offered at the Club. Dave also says that one of the best aspects of our badminton 

department is that we have a lot of repeat performers. We have kids that start in our junior programs and before you 

know it they are performing in our intermediate and advanced ladders on Friday nights. Once children have completed a 

level they are made well aware of all the different levels and programs that they can go into from there. Dave says we are 

all about choice and it is very encouraging that our kids choose to continue playing and move higher and higher in our 

badminton leagues. 

The Calgary Winter Club is honored to have Dave McMaster and his teaching abilities for almost 30 years now. The Club 

really hopes that he doesn’t plan on going anywhere for awhile and it seems we don’t have to worry since Dave states 

openly that “I will stay until I stop having fun, and I am having way too much fun to stop now.” 

Dave Humble | Assistant Badminton Pro 

Dave Humble, our Assistant Badminton Professional, has been at the Club for about 12 years. Dave’s Badminton career has 

been a very international one since he first started here at the Club in 1988. Dave went to Ottawa to train for the Olympics 

in which he participated in the 1992 Olympic Games held in Barcelona. After successfully representing his county he then 

went off to Australia in 1994 to coach at the Institute of Sport. We are very thankful that even though Dave has traveled the 

world, and seen many things, his travels have always brought him back to the Club. 

Dave and the coaching team have had many successes at the Calgary Winter Club, from coaching provincial and national 

champions, to having a full and vibrant junior program. Dave feels that there is no better feeling than seeing the kids grow 

up and continue to participate in programs at higher levels because they truly enjoy the sport of Badminton. The Badminton 

section has a very team oriented atmosphere, there are many of the older badminton players that will take the time to teach 

and show some of the younger players the basic skills of the sport. 

The Calgary Winter Club is very proud to have retained our team of professionals for so long and that is why our badminton 

program will continue to be successful for years to come. 

Dong Moon Kim & Kyung Min ra 

Kim and Ra (as we all know them by) came to the Calgary Winter Club in the fall of 2006. You might be shocked to know 

that these are not their given names. Their given names are actually Dong Moon Kim and Kyung Min Ra, but we will call 

them by whatever they prefer. In February of 2007 Kim and Ra started to work for Dave McMaster in the Badminton section 

full time, and they started the Kim Dong Moon Badminton Academy. The purpose of this was to have a program for elite 

junior players. The foundation of Kim and Ra’s teaching is to develop basic skills and to focus on putting those skills into 

action. There is also a strong focus on breaking bad habits. As we all know in sport many players get into bad habits 

because they work for the time being but not for the long run. Kim and Ra try to get kids to break those habits right from 

the start and instead develop skills that will improve their game over time. 

We are very lucky to have Kim and Ra working at the Club. Some of you may know that they have played internationally 

together as a mixed doubles team for many years. But what most people outside of Badminton don’t know is that they 

were the number one ranked team in the world from 1999 - 2004. Not many other Clubs or programs in Canada can say 

that their coaches have been internationally ranked let alone #1 in the world! 

Kim and Ra plan on being here for the long haul and their future goal is to build a program not only for our junior players 

but for adult players as well. The Calgary Winter Club Badminton section lead by Dave, Dave, Kim and Ra has nothing but 

possibilities and the sky is the limit. 

Our Club has one of the strongest Badminton programs in the county and it is thanks to our very talented 

and experienced professionals who are committed to ensuring the success of their section.
