Message from Pete Nordland President of Canada 55+ Games Association

Dear Participants,

It seems like only yesterday that many of us were gathered in Cape Breton for the 2012 Games. We now find ourselves almost 5000 kms away for our next gathering of ‘seasoned citizens’ and the opportunity to renew acquaintances with old friends and to meet many new ones.

In fact, the 2014 Games are by far the largest gathering we have ever had and my hat is off to a Host Committee that have, from the very beginning when it was announced in Sydney that Strathcona County would be hosting these Games, set upon themselves to ensure that

all planning would be centred around making the needs of the participants their first priority. From what I can see, they have succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.

A very large part of the success of any Games is the hard work and dedication of the volunteers that have spent countless hours preparing for this event. I have thanked them all, on behalf of all of you; but don’t forget that a smile and a thank you will make their day.

Good luck to all of you in your chosen activity, but remember that you are all winners just by the fact of being here. Enjoy the moment and revel in the hospitality that Strathcona County is about to bestow on you.

Pete Nordland President, Canada 55+ Games Association

We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing. – George Bernard

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age. -Sophia Loren

Background and History Provided by the Canada 55+ Games Association

What are the “Canada 55+ Games”?The Canada 55+ Games is a nation-wide program to sponsor wellness - that is, the spiritual, mental and physical well being - among Canadians 55 years of age and older. Provincial programs are staged annually in different provinces and territories. The first national Games were held in Regina in 1996. The Games should not be categorized as sporting events, as they span a wide range of physical and mental challenges - from slo-pitch to contract bridge and darts to bocce ball. These events bring together amateur competitors who participate for the sheer joy of competition, for the opportunity to visit other parts of Canada and for the camaraderie and social interaction that are an integral and essential part of the Games.

The Games bring together relatively small groups, representing their respective provinces or territories. These groups earn the right as a result of competition against thousands of other 55 plus competitors in their home province or territory. The 2000 competitors represent over 15,000 Canadian seniors who actively participate in local events leading up to the national games.

VisionCanada 55+ Games Vision is to create a recurring, popular and truly national multi-activity event engaging older Canadians from coast to coast to coast. The Canada 55+ Games enrich the lives of participants and host communities and are widely recognized for their unique “fun-focused” competition model and for their significant influence on participation in an active and enjoyable lifestyle by all older adults in Canada.

MissionThe Canada 55+ Games Association delivers the bi-annual multi-event Canada 55+ Games as a unique blend of active and passive activities and works continuously to influence personal behaviour and social supports that encourage healthy, active living for older adults in Canada.

Proper Planning: We believe in the concept of proper planning to ensure maximum efficiency and effectiveness of the Association, its programs and resources.

The 2014 Canada 55+ Games Logo What does our LOGO mean?The colours of the logo have a distinctive meaning. The RED represents Canada and the Canada 55+ Games Association, the BLUE represents Alberta and the Alberta 55+ and

the GREEN represents Strathcona County, the Canada 55+ Games Community Engagement Society and volunteers.

The three flags also represent the three Hubs at the Canada 55+ Games in Strathcona County, including Millennium, Central and Ardrossan.

The BLUE represents the Millennium Hub, which includes two world class amenities: Millennium Place and Centennial Park. The blue is also symbolic of Millennium Place which is home to our largest aquatic centre.

The RED represents the Central Hub of the Games; Broadmoor Lake Park is in the heart of our community and is the host site to all of our major community festivals and celebrations. This area is a key community gathering place with year round outdoor and indoor recreational opportunities.

The GREEN represents the Ardrossan Hub which is a rural hub. This hub features an incredible newly revitalized recreation facility along with open spaces, trails and the 55 Plus Club.

The building located in the middle of our logo represents Festival Place. Located in the Central Hub, it is a gathering place for cultural events in our community. Festival Place overlooks Broadmoor Lake Park and will be part of the cultural experience during the Games.

The swoosh connecting the three organizations involved with the Canada 55+ Games, symbolizes that the hubs are in close proximity to each other and ties our community into the Canada 55+ Games.

Overall, the logo depicts a social, multi sport/activity and festive event!
