Future of Sport in Canada Commission opens public survey ahead of summit

The Future of Sport in Canada Commission launched its public survey Monday to gather opinions on safe sport and improving the sport system ahead of its fall summit. Article content Among the first questions posed: Have you witnessed or experienced maltreatment in sport, and how big of a problem do you think maltreatment is in organized sport in Canada? Article content Article content Former Olympic skier Allison Forsyth, a founder of Generation Safe and now safe sport officer for Canada Soccer, says while she believes the commission is doing important work, some survey questions assume a level of experience with the national sport system. Article content Forsyth also asks if the person taking the survey knows the definition of maltreatment under the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport. Article content 'When I'm out here doing my work, there's many people in this country at the grassroots level that don't even know what safe sport means,' Forsyth said. 'The questions in the survey are very good, but very specific. Article content 'If it was sent to the public as their opportunity to contribute to the future of sport in Canada … it doesn't do enough to explain to people the foundation of safe sport, what maltreatment is, and what the universal code of conduct is.' Article content The survey is open until August and can be accessed through the website or the commission's social media posts. Article content She's also worked with provincial, university and club sport organizations in Canada, and wanted those levels to be more represented in the survey questions. Article content Article content 'My education and work is the people that matter the most, which is the children in sport at a grassroots level whose parents are entrusting their club to keep their child safe from maltreatment,' Forsyth said. Article content 'If I was a parent, and I am one of high-level hockey players in the youth programs, would I know any of this? The answer, in my opinion, is no because the universal code of conduct to address maltreatment in sport points back to the federal level of sport.'

‘I'm devastated': Calgary skaters react to partial closure of downtown park for Stampede festival

The skate park at Cowboys Park will be closed to accommodate events during the Calgary Stampede. Fencing is up around the old Shaw Millennium Park, now known as Cowboys Park, as staff gear up for the Calgary Stampede and Cowboys Music Festival. But the fencing has shuttered part of the skate park, in a move never done before when the space held festivals. 'I'm devastated. Honestly, seeing this, I felt like crying. It felt like I was being stabbed in the heart,' said local scooter rider Axe. 'The moment we do have the peak of the summer, they're just going to cover up the skate park and now we can't ride.' By covering up, staff have begun assembling scaffolding in the bowl of the Yellow Zone of the park, which is an intermediate section. The scaffolding will then have a wooden base assembled over top to create a floor space for public washrooms and a food venue. 'We definitely heard a lot of complaints through our office and social media as well,' said Ward 7 Councillor Terry Wong. 'The unfortunate part of the equation is, yet again, the city has done their job. Now it's been turned over to Cowboys as part of their commitment.' Wong adds that the closure is for 50 days and there is no plan to try and reverse course. 'I'm not sure if you can,' said Wong. 'Given the timeframe when it was approved a year ago to where we are now, there's a lot of fast-tracking. And unfortunately, some of the engagements should have been done and wasn't quite there.' A petition started to 'Urge Cowboys Music Festival to Free Millennium Park's Skatepark' has garnered nearly 3,000 signatures in just a couple of days. Organizer Dave Hoare says this has frustrated a lot of inner-city riders who are about to hit peak summer season. 'It's the most utilized space in the park, right, the intermediate section, it's kind of a balance between where the pros can ride, where the beginners can ride,' said Hoare. 'It's kind of the most inclusive area in the park where all the features are pretty accessible to everyone.' Hoare hopes to see a change of course this year, but more importantly for him, in the years to come. 'It's completely outrageous. We don't have washroom access. We don't have access to the water fountains,' he said. 'I moved downtown here at the beginning of the year so I could be close to the park. I live three blocks from here; this is my backyard.' The city chipped in roughly $6 million for repairs to bathrooms, lighting, event areas, as well as basketball and volleyball courts. It's unclear what Penny Lane Entertainment provided in terms of funding for upgrades to the park. Portions of the skatepark will be closed until July 30. The city of Calgary says in a statement that construction at Cowboys Park is on pause for the summer to make room for events that include Cowboys Music Festival. 'Specifically for the skate park, the advanced bowls will remain open, but the beginner and intermediate bowls will be closed,' the statement read. Full details on what is open and closed at Cowboys Park are available on the City of Calgary's website and on signage distributed around the park. 'The closure of the beginner and intermediate skate bowls in Cowboys Park were required as part of the Cowboys Music Festival event plan,' read the statement. 'The agreement (approved by council in June 2023), brings needed upgrades to the park and is a key step in implementing the city's downtown strategy to bring vibrancy to Calgary's downtown west area by creating additional activation of park spaces and drive further economic activity in the area.'

Canada's Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard wins silver medal at judo world championships

Canada's Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard took the silver medal in the under-63-kilogram weight class at the world judo championships Monday after losing the final bout in extra time. Japan's Haruka Kaju, unbeaten since her World Judo Tour debut last year, withstood Beauchemin-Pinard's ground game and scored a pin for ippon — or full point — in "golden score" sudden death. It was the second world championship silver for Beauchemin-Pinard, who also finished runner-up in 2022. The 30-year-old from Montreal also won bronze in the weight class at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2019 and 2020 Pan American championships. Beauchemin-Pinard, who had a bye in the first round, beat South Africa's Jasmine Martin, Slovenia's Kaja Kajzer, Mongolia's Enkhriilen Lkhagvatogoo and Brazil's Rafaela Silva en route to the final. Three of her four wins came by ippon, but she couldn't continue her dominance against the Japanese rising star. "It's still really fresh and I think it's going to take me a few more days to digest this defeat, because I felt I could have beaten [Kaju]," Beauchemin-Pinard said. Still, Beauchemin-Pinard said she was proud to reach the podium. "I'm thrilled with my result," she said. "Obviously, immediately after the fight, I was disappointed because the gold medal was well within reach. I felt like I'd lost the gold rather than won silver, but as the day went on, I realized that I had put in a great day's fighting."
