CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE CPA NOVEMBER ISSUE | Page 2

NOVEMBER 2018 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear Members: We are in the final month of the 2018 competition season. Throughout the year, I had the opportunity to attend and head judge many competitions across Canada. This year, I spoke about the Canadian Physique Alliance’s goal of achieving consistency across Canada in all aspects of the sport: from judging, qualifications, event promotions, event venues, promoter contribution, the format for prejudging and finals, and opportunities for IFBB Pro cards in the Natural and Open Pro Qualifiers. I truly believe we are achieving all of those goals.  One area where I noticed some inconsistencies across Canada is tanning. The final step before walking on stage is tanning, hair, and makeup. How important is this final step? It could make the difference between winning or not making the top three in your class! I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this happen; where a competitor has worked so hard to get competition ready and lose because the final step was not done properly.
