Great to meet and spend time with Liberal MP Corey Hogan last Saturday and continue the conversation around this week’s federal sport funding announcement.
We shared how important this investment is to strengthening the daily training environment for athletes and coaches across Alberta — and why continued support matters on the road to future success.
Always appreciate the opportunity to connect with leaders who believe in the impact of sport in our communities and across Canada.

Ravi de rencontrer et de passer du temps avec le député libéral Corey Hogan samedi dernier afin de poursuivre la conversation entourant l’annonce de financement fédéral en sport faite cette semaine.
Nous avons échangé sur l’importance de cet investissement pour renforcer l’environnement d’entraînement quotidien des athlètes et des entraîneurs partout en Alberta — et pourquoi un soutien continu est essentiel en vue des succès à venir.
Toujours reconnaissants d’avoir l’occasion d’échanger avec des leaders qui croient à l’impact du sport dans nos communautés et partout au Canada.

Today’s announcement from the Government of Canada is a game-changer for Canadian sport. 🇨🇦🏅
The Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Sport Institute Network (COPSIN) thanks Prime Minister Mark Carney and Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden for this transformational investment in high performance sport.
This commitment strengthens the system that supports athletes every day — from sport science and sport medicine to mental health services — helping them train, stay healthy, and perform on the world stage.
High performance sport brings Canadians together, inspires communities, and creates moments we all rally behind. We look forward to working with partners across the system to ensure this investment creates lasting impact for athletes and coaches across the country.

Our Olympian Style Series continues with Mark Tewksbury - Olympic gold medalist, speaker, author and Red Seal–certified chef 🥇
Working with @csialberta , we had the opportunity to style a group of Olympic athletes - both for their RWG Gala and in looks that reflect their everyday lives.
@marktewks day-to-day moves between two distinct worlds - time in the kitchen and time on stage. His approach to style mirrors that balance, combining classic tailoring with more relaxed, modern pieces.
With the espy team, he explored a wardrobe that feels polished yet easy - versatile enough to move seamlessly between both sides of his life.

Our Olympian Style Series continues with Carol Huynh - Olympic gold medalist in wrestling, and now a coach at the University of Calgary 🥇
In partnership with the @csialberta , we had the opportunity to work with a group of Olympic athletes - styling them not only for the RWG Gala, but in looks that reflect their everyday lives.
Carol’s everyday wardrobe reflects her active lifestyle - sporty, practical, and comfortable. But for events, galas, and public appearances, she was ready to explore a different side of her style.
Working with the espy team, she stepped into a wardrobe that feels elevated, confident, and expressive - while still staying true to who she is.

Raising the Bar. Together. 💪
Consistency is key when it comes to high-performance testing. That’s why sport scientists across Canada, led by the CN-HPAAS group, have developed new standardized operating procedures — Incremental Lactate on Cycle Ergometer and Countermovement Jump on Force Plates.
A national collaboration. A shared standard. One stronger sport science community.

Rehausser les standards. Ensemble. 💪
La cohérence est essentielle lorsqu’il s’agit d’évaluations de haute performance. C’est pourquoi des scientifiques du sport à travers le Canada, dirigés par le groupe CN-HPAAS, ont élaboré de nouvelles procédures opératoires normalisées — le test de lactate incrémental sur ergocycle et le saut avec contre-mouvement sur plateformes de force.
Une collaboration nationale. Une norme partagée. Une communauté de science du sport plus forte.
