Return to Sport
We’ve posted some updated information and resources on our website in regards to our plan moving forward.
Things have been progressing steadily over the past two weeks. We have received the approval from the Government of MB on our plans to restart, which was Step 1. Now we are working hard to finalize the resources YOU need as members, before we can sanction any official activities.
Please make sure you review the Athletics Canada Back on Track national guidelines as well as the details posted on our Return to Sport page on our website.
Clubs, Coaches and Individual members will all need to complete new waivers and attestations confirming that you understand the risks associated with participation. At this time, we are waiting for these waivers and attestations to be set up online in Trackie. As soon as this is completed, we will follow up with Clubs and Members to move forward.
*Until then, no group activity or training will be sanctioned, nor endorsed by Athletics Manitoba. Only after all coaches, athletes, or involved parties have completed the required acknowledgements will it be acceptable to return to formal training and practices following the Back on Track guidelines.*
Remember, it is the responsibility of all members and affiliates to abide by policies and procedures designated to ensure a safe environment for all.
AGM – Deadline for nominations
Nominations for the available number of positions for the Board of Directors will be brought forward as part of the AGM agenda. Nominations from floor are not accepted as per the Athletics Manitoba By-laws.
The deadline for nominations was extended until today, June 3rd, 2020.
Two of our current Board Members whose terms are expiring have decided not to submit their names for re-election. This means we currently have a slate of 5 nominees and 7 open positions.
We also have an open Male Athlete Rep and Coaches Rep position.
Each term is two years. Board Meetings are held on the third Tuesday evening of every other month, and are currently being held virtually. Occasionally, additional meetings may be required to address special or urgent issues.
The nomination process is open to any member or associate member of the Association, eighteen years of age or older and who are not employees of the Association or Athletics Canada.
Interested individuals are asked to contact the office immediately if they are interested.
Please email execdirector@athleticsmanitoba.com by June 3rd, 2020
Also as previously noted, AGM attendees MUST REGISTER in order to confirm their attendance and in order to receive the online meeting link, all pre-meeting reports, and instructions for online voting.
We ask that any attendees register by June 6th, 2020. This will allow us to confirm quorum, as well as sufficient time for staff to accommodate any questions or tutorials needed prior to the meeting.
