I wanted to share with you my experience at the Olympic Academy of Canada that was held the first week of July. I was chosen for this, and when asked what it was about, I had no idea really. Just that it was put on by the Canadian Olympic Committee and I was excited - but now I'd like to share with you a couple highlights... First of all, there were 50 delegates chosen from across the country, 20- some phenomenal guest speakers, Olympic Mission Staff volunteer facilitators and activities from 7;30am to 10pm. The delegates included Commonwealth Games athletes, Paralympian athletes, sport administrators, managing directors, journalists, volunteers, and 2010 Bid committee employees. It was certainly the most fulfilling and exciting week of my life! We experienced and discussed the Olympic Movement, and how we can all do our part' to work within it as Canadians. Even though I didn't get to venture far (U of C), it was a thrill to meet the people I did, and help expose them to places like Canada Olympic Park and good ol' Cowtown. We even got "white hatted". Now I'm an official Calgarian! One day we hit up Banff and Canmore. The majority of the group was from Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and the Maritimes, so we had some nice bragging rights about the Rockies!In the classroom we had some in-depth lectures and speeches from heroes like Charmaine Crooks (International Olympic Committee, 5-time CAN Olympian sprinter), John Furlong (head of Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee), Earle Connor, Calgary (currently the fastest Paralympian 100m dash sprinter in the world), Sharon Wood (first North-American female to summit Mount Everest in 1984), Chris Rudge (CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee), David Masse (CBC Sports), Susan Auch (Olympic silver medallist Speed Skater), and the list went on and on! Can you imagine how excited I was to meet all these people? I love the feeling of affiliation of sport and media figures, so it was like a dream for me! Each day got better and better, and I had no idea the impact that sport played in people's lives! We even learned how to play a sport in the Paralympics - goal ball. Check out the TV coverage of these Carnes in Athens and you'll see how amazing Paralympians are. Here I've been working as a Sport Administrator for a couple years always involved in sport since I was yay big, and I thought I was the only crazy one who lived for the Olympics (and the Flames), but after meeting the 70 other die-hard Canadians, I realized that I was not the only one! Basically the ideal of "Olympism" was defined in a hundred different ways during the week and the main thing I learned is that we can all be a part of it! All of us engage in sport and physical activity in one way or another - whether playing, organizing, volunteering, etc. Whether we're NHL fans or Olympic junkies (like myself), we can all help spread the importance of physical activity, organized sport, teamwork, fair play and national pride in our elite amateur athletes. Especially with Athens Summer Olympics just a month away! Not a lot of people remember the amateur heroes unless they're commercially marketed, but, listening to Charmaine Crooks speak was like nothing I'd ever heard before. She is the epitome of empowerment, and there are many other unsung heroes out there, living amongst us in Alberta. One night we were part of a "Dinner of Champions" event hosted by Catriona LeMay Doan and Susan Auch. One of the champions I met was Phil Kuber who was an Olympic medallist in 1956 in rowing! Amazing hey - who remembers Phil for his contribution - yet he did the same thing for his sport as Gordie Howe did for hockey... Anyway, as you can tell I am a little "pumped" about the idea of sport right now, but it was a leadership academy unlike any other. I had a lot of fun representing Milo (as if I would say I'm Calgarian)! and now those delegatesall know about our huge population, immense volunteer capacity, what happens on main street Milo on a Saturday morning and what a combine really does! I would strongly encourage any of you who have the same crazy passion for sport to apply for this Academy - you don't have to be employed in the industry- it is open to anyone. The next one will be in 2006 in Montreal. My goal now is to first learn French and secondly to introduce some school teachers (possibly in Milo or Lomond) to the idea of a becoming an official Olympic School! There is a cirriculum program already in place with the Canadian Olympic Committee, and all it takes is someone to introduce it to the teachers. It is a win-win situation and I know the kids and teachers would love what this program could bring to the school and our community. Anyway, remember to cheer on Team Canada in Athens this August. Christine Nordhagen, CAN wrestling, is sure to bring home a medal - I was fortunate enough to meet her too! <Ejun) MQrvrusO Don't Forget Milo's Terry Fox Run will be held on Thursday, September 16th, 2004 starting at the School at 9:00 a.m. Pledge sheets will be at the Bank, the Store and the School.

The Heritage Canada Foundation promotes the third Monday in February each year as Heritage Day and has long advocated adopting this date as a national holiday. Its annual Heritage Day theme posters and teachers' kits are distributed through the various school boards across the country. The Heritage Canada Foundation is proud to present Heritage 2004: Defending Canada: Our Military Heritage Sites and Buildings featuring historic military sites, heritage buildings and war memorials. Spread across Canada, our forts, barracks, armouries and aerodromes strongly proclaim the story of defending Canada. In almost every community, there is a war memorial or commemorative plaque honouring those who have suffered and died defending our nation. There is a 2004 teacher's guide, for teachers and youth leaders, which provides a basic understanding of how various military structures have served Canada's defence needs over the centuries. Highlighted are various types of defence: land defence, coastal defence, air defence, Cold War defence, and memorials. While this guide is intended primarily for teachers, it is also for students or anyone interested in knowing a little more about Canada's military heritage. From the time of the early Aboriginals to today, we all have the same needs: to defend our homes, our communities and our nation from intruders.
