    Long term SFC Executive and Board Member Lisa Deneka has announced her resignation from her duties and positions on the executive and board of the SFC.


    Lisa most recently held the position of Vice President, High Performance and chaired the High Performance Committee. Lisa took up this role six years ago with a desire to develop, clarify and move the SFC High Performance Program towards the principles, outcomes and goals aligned with both Sport Canada and the Own the Podium program in Canada. Lisa has dedicated many thousands of hours over the years to create a shift in high performance culture and produce a strong foundation for Canadian target shooting athletes' performances going forwards. She did all of this on a volunteer basis and we are grateful for her input and stalwart leadership. Although it will be a big loss for our organization, we have accepted Lisa's resignation and we wish her well in her future endeavours.

    The SFC will be working with the new Executive Director, Jasmine Northcott, who begins her duties in late March to determine the structure and leadership of the High Performance Program under the new governance structure to be set in place by September 2023, but in the interim, the HPC Committee and Joey Hutton, our High Performance Coordinator, will maintain the supervision of the program.

    A big thank you to Lisa Deneka for all your hard work, all the goals you have achieved and your dedication to the SFC and it’s membership for your many years of service.

    In accordance with the IPC Handbook, an Organising Committee of a respective Games may also propose to the IPC one or more additional events in new sports, with consideration for inclusion at the absolute discretion of the IPC Governing Board.

    As part of the International Federation application process, a record 33 Para sports submitted applications to the IPC to be considered for inclusion in the LA28 Paralympic Games. Following the full evaluation, the IPC granted LA28 the opportunity to explore the potential of including Para climbing or Para surfing, sports that have not been featured before at the Paralympic Games. Should LA28 put forward any sports for consideration, a final decision will be taken by the IPC Governing Board by the end of 2023.

    Andrew Parsons, the IPC President, said: "Determining these sports for inclusion to the LA28 Paralympic Games through the International Federation application process was a tremendously difficult job for the IPC Governing Board as we received 33 excellent applications. All International Federations who submitted applications should be congratulated on the quality of their submissions as they underline that all Para sports are getting stronger.

    "The sports we have included in the LA28 Paralympic Games provide a competitive and attractive sport programme that will showcase the diversity of the Paralympic Movement.

    "Under our rules for determining the sport programme, there is an option for a Games Organising Committee to propose one or more sports for inclusion in the Games for the IPC Governing Board to consider. We fully support LA28's interest in the OCOG proposed sport process as this could be a significant contribution to drive greater impact of the LA28 Paralympic Games while controlling cost and complexity and achieving our shared goal of cost neutrality across the LA28 budget."

    Casey Wasserman, LA28's Chairperson, said: "The LA28 Paralympic Games will be an incredible moment for elite adaptive sport against the backdrop of one of the most diverse and inclusive cities on the planet. We're looking forward to bringing a remarkable Paralympic sport programme to life that will create an exceptional Games experience for athletes and fans. LA28 has always been about integrating the creative energy of LA into sport tradition to bring new fans into the Olympic and Paralympic Movement. As we explore potential new sports, we will consider how best to elevate the athlete and fan experience and contribute to the overall success of the Games."

    Following submission of applications by International Federations in July 2022, the IPC assessed each candidate sport in accordance with the IPC Handbook and sought further clarification from applicants where needed. The IPC also worked closely with LA28 to analyse the potential impact of sports on the programme, prioritising an amazing Games experience that is fiscally and environmentally responsible.
