As a leader in delivering amateur and high performance sport to Calgarians, Repsol Sport Centre is proud to honour its athletes with a total of $16,250 this year, funded by The John Currie Amateur Sport Legacy Fund. Under careful deliberation and criteria examination, the LPSS Bursary Committee designated 18 amateur athletes to be recognized and financially rewarded for outstanding athletic achievement in support of their future training and competition goals. The honourees are a mix of Olympic hopefuls, veterans and up and comers, representing 8 sports. There are 5 men and 13 women ranging from 13 to 37 years. Further, 83% of the recipients train 19 hours a week or more, and proudly call Repsol Sport Centre their home.
MISSING OUR MEMBERS
It all started about four years ago…. we purchased a mannequin to help show off some swag prizing for our annual Yoga & Cycle challenge – and from that time onwards, Jacque as he has now become known, has become our fun and silent brand ambassador, helping us show off our swag apparel, be a fun prop in our Halloween staff challenges, show off and give away prizing in Member contests and challenges and this year helped be the visual reminder to wear a mask down our Walk of Wellness hallway. Our team got creative with him during the closure and made him the star of our “I’m so lonely” social media video to demonstrate to our Members how much we miss them! (turn sound on)
