Dear community members:

WinSport would like to thank you for your continued support in the creation of the World’s Leading Winter Sports Institute.

From time to time, major events are held at Canada Olympic Park that may or may not affect members of the surrounding community. WinSport would like to increase our communication with the community and provide regular updates when these events take place.

A major event is upcoming in less than two weeks, with the details provided below.

World Cup Freestyle:
Description: The world’s best mogul and halfpipe skiers will be competing at WinSport’s Canada Olympic Park on January 3rd and 4th – and as one of the final qualifying events for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, the competition will be more intense and exciting than ever. More than 130 athletes from 20 countries are expected to attend and Canada has some of the best medal prospects of all.
Date/Time:
– Dec. 31 to Jan. 2 (training)
– Jan. 3: 10:30 a.m. – training; noon to 2 p.m. – halfpipe finals
– Jan. 4: 8:30 a.m. – training; 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. – finals and awards

Potential disruption: Increased traffic near the park in what is typically a busy time of year. Competition is relegated to the halfpipe (west side of park) and the moguls course on east side of park. The East service road will be used to access venue, where parking is limited to VIPs and organizers.
A DJ, along with public address announcer will be used throughout the event. Noise will continued to be monitored. Attached is a copy of the noise exemption permit from the City of Calgary.

WinSport truly appreciates your support and would invite all neighbours to take in the action and watch some of the world’s top athletes take part in a preview to the Sochi Olympics.
