Good Day Athletes, Coaches, Parents and Friends,

I'd like to say hello to you all as your new Interim Director of the CEC. The existing CEC board voted me into this position with the primary task of finishing the new CEC statutes, ensuring creation of election procedures for all CEC board positions and outlining operating procedure for the governing of our sport. By this season's end we intend to have created an organizational structure that ensures proper Regional representation and a voice for all in the workings of the CEC.

In the 15 years I've been on the CEC board, I've seen the sport grow tremendously. There are exciting new trends developing. The Open division is becoming strong, thanks to the continued efforts and success of the Tour de Bloc. Our Youth division is also growing. Last year saw an explosion of eastern youth participation including the first Eastern Youth Regional in many years. I am very happy to announce that this season's Youth National Championships have already been confirmed for the Delire Centre d'Escalade in Quebec City, June 4-6, 2010.

As we move forward, I welcome all your support, comments and suggestions.
Together we can see our incredible sport culture flourish.
