THIRTY YEARS OF LEADERSHIP
SportMedBC is proud to be celebrating 30 years of leadership, public awareness and education in the areas of sport medicine, sport science and sport training. Since 1982, we have been committed to promoting sport health and acting as a focal point for experts, applied expertise and programs. With practitioner support, we have come a long way towards our vision of helping to create a comprehensive, highly-integrated sport medicine network serving active Canadians.
Three decades ago, visionaries in our field such as Dr. Doug Clement and Dr. Jack Taunton championed the creation of a network of sport medical and paramedical leaders. That SportMedBC network has now grown to 600 strong.
More important, the fields of sport medicine, sport science and sport training � the three pillars of SportMedBC � have grown, developed and evolved to the point where they permeate all aspects of the promotion and development of sport.
There is no market segment on the continuum of sport represented in the Canadian Sport for Life model, from entry-level youth to professional athletes and Olympians to Masters Games athletes, not served, impacted or otherwise influenced in some way by practitioners of sport medicine and exercise science.
The best is yet to come and the upside is huge for sport medicine, sport science and sport training. We mark our 30th Anniversary by ushering in a new strategic partner in athlete development and health promotion: Fortius Sport & Health.
We should be proud of the 30-year history of SportMedBC. Yet we should be more bullish than ever about the next 30 years, thanks to partners such as the BC Sport Agency, the Government of British Columbia, The Vancouver Sun and the many more that have helped make our province one of the hotbeds for sport medicine and exercise science in North America� and that will continue to do so in the years to come.

Message from the Chair
On behalf of the Board of Directors, management and staff of SportMedBC, I wanted to acknowledge and congratulate all of those who have contributed to 30 years of growth, development and evolution in sport medicine, sport science and sport training here in British Columbia and, for that matter, across Canada.
I cannot help but put the spotlight on a podium of milestones and defining moments in our history as we gather for a 2012 Annual General Meeting that marks the 30th Anniversary of SportMedBC.
Of course, we would not be here today without the vision, inspiration and leadership of those who recognized the importance of injury prevention and treatment decades ago and worked together to create the sports first aid program that led to the creation of SportMedBC in 1982 and in turn, what is now a network of 600 dedicated practitioners that represent our fields throughout the province.
The second milestone in the history of sport medicine in British Columbia was the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Thanks to the leadership of Dr. Jack Taunton, Dr. Mike Wilkinson, Dr. Rick Celebrini and countless others from our SportMedBC network, Vancouver 2010 was heralded by the International Olympic Committee as having the best sport medical services platform in the history of the Olympic Games. That is arguably our greatest achievement and it was a shared experience that had much the same boost on our profession that it had on the country at large. It was golden.
The third milestone, in part a legacy of the integrated approach taken to serving the Olympic athletes of Vancouver 2010, is the creation of Fortius Sport & Health. We are proud to be the Premier Founding Partner of Fortius Sport & Health and the three entities that will collectively help us elevate our fields to the next level: the Fortius Foundation, the Fortius Institute and the Fortius Athlete Development Centre, with the flagship facility situated in the City of Burnaby.
It's a major milestone for sport medicine and exercise science because it represents an investment of tens of millions of dollars into our sector. The capital campaign alone for the Fortius Athlete Development Centre is $61 million and the lead donation of more than $23 million made by Vancouver businessman Scott Cousens is the single largest sport philanthropic gift in Canadian history.
Yet with initiatives such as Fortius Sport & Health and others, the future has never looked brighter for those of us committed to the promotion of sport health on the strength of the best people, best practices and best programs in sport medicine, sport science and sport training.

President & CEO's Report
The Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League have much more than the team doctor and trainer they had in tow when they made their first run to the Stanley Cup final in 1982, the same year SportMedBC was founded 30 years ago.
The NHL franchise now has an arsenal of strength and conditioning expertise, physiotherapists, sport psychologists, nutritionists and even a sleep doctor employed to help its players achieve optimal performance as individuals and as a team. The Canucks have invested considerably in training equipment and amenities at Rogers Arena and will invest even more in their new practice facility, planned for space at what is now Plaza of Nations.
The same can be said of the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League, the Vancouver Whitecaps FC of Major League Soccer, the Vancouver Canadians of the Northwest League of Minor League Baseball and even the Vancouver Giants of the major junior Western Hockey League.
The Lions are serviced by several of the veterans of our SportMedBC network; same with Major League Soccer's Whitecaps. The Whitecaps' commitment to their players extends to their residency prospects and will be headquartered at their new training centre at the University of British Columbia.
Thirty years since our inception, SportMedBC practitioners are now everywhere in the sport system and in the pecking order of professional sports in BC and across the country. Members of our network have long-standing relationships with national team and provincial team programs in Canada.
As we mark our 30th Anniversary, we have many reasons to be proud of our professional not-for-profit society, from our Sports First Aid program to SportMed RunWalk and Sun Run InTraining and from our on-site medical coverage program to the new SportSmart injury prevention and performance tips workshop series for parents and coaches.
Yet more than anything, we can take great pride in you: The practitioners and professionals who have dedicated yourselves to sport medicine and exercise science and made your mark on our pro sports franchises, national and provincial team programs, training clinics for everyday British Columbians and, of course, on Vancouver 2010.
We look forward to working with you to continue to promote and develop our fields in British Columbia and across Canada and to help make a difference for the hundreds of thousands of athletes, weekend warriors, recreational players and fitness buffs who benefit from your expertise and, moreover, your dedication to and passion for your profession.
