Les nouvelles/news 05 nov 05 1999 Greetings/Bonjour:
Yesterday was quite a whirlwind! FCA's President, Al Wills, does not have many opportunities to visit the National Office and meet with government officials. So we made the most of his time here. For those who remember him, Roger Ouellette was our very best sport consultant from Sport Canada in the early '80's and we were able to meet with him over lunch to discuss the new sport funding framework. For those of you involved in coaching, Al Wills and Doug Soar are working on a new Participant Development Model with CAC and it was an opportunity to meet with our consultant, Cyndie Flett. And so, our own meeting time was quite limited, but productive.
If you have been trying to contact Al this week and have not received a reply, he's heading home today. I'm sure he'll be able to get something back to you by the middle of next week, but please be patient.
Hier a ete comme un tourbillon! Notre President m'a visite ici en bureau pour seulement un jour. Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'occasions des rencontres gouvernementales. Donc, on doit utiliser chaque moment. Notre ancien conseiller de Sport Canada, M. Roger Ouellette, nous a retrouve pour le dejeuner. On a discute le nouveau projet de financement de Sport Canada 2001 a 2004. Puis nous avons recontre avec notre conseiller d'Association Canadienne des Entraineurs, Cyndie Flett. Il n'y a pas assez de temps!
Alors, si vous attendez une reponse de notre President cette semaine, ayez patient SVP. Je pense qu'il va la repondre le mecredi ou le jeudi prochain.
