CALGARY – Beginning this week, Canadian Sport Institute Calgary (CSI Calgary) affiliated athletes and coaches can purchase subsidized meals through WinSport‘s Garden Café.
The new Powered by WinSport menu caters to the needs of high-performance athletes and includes food items inspired by CSI Calgary’s Fuel for Gold meal program. The menu is also available to the public.
“We are excited to have re-opened the Garden Café again after the pandemic challenge and look forward to add the Powered by WinSport line of items to our menu that CSI affiliated athletes, and our public guests can enjoy and fuel themselves for their day,” said Alan Fraser, WinSport’s Director of Food and Beverage. “Having healthy food options is critical to the success of our athletes and we are honoured to partner with CSI Calgary to launch this program.”
The Canadian Sport Institute Calgary is pleased to announce that we will provide Sport Canada carded and/or athletes and coaches with a CSI Calgary training group agreement with a 50% price reduction on a wide variety of items including lunch specials, salads, fruit cups, vegetable and hummus, overnight oats, power bars, muffins, sandwiches, and paninis.
Other items will receive 20% discount, with exceptions on pre-packaged items and beverages that do not qualify for discount.
“Properly fueling before and after training can have a significant impact on overall performance,” said Gary Davies, CSI Calgary President/CEO. “Having convenient access to nutritious and affordable food options through the Garden Café will ensure athletes can get what they need daily.”
The Garden Café at the Markin MacPhail Centre officially re-opened on Monday, April 4th and will be open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. and evenings and weekends based on events happening at Winsport.
