JANUARY 2019 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear Members: Happy New Year!  Many of you are already in contest mode and preparing for the 2019 season.  With so many choices out there one must carefully plan the route he or she will take to compete in 2019. Regardless of your decision of where and when to compete, the CPA has over 60 competitions available across Canada and athletes are able to compete in any one of them.  This year we are introducing True Novice classes for first-time competitors only and Novice classes for first-time competitors and competitors who have not placed in the top three in any competition.    We have also included a wheelchair division in selected regional contests and the Toronto Pro Qualifier.   In our January magazine, you will see many of the upcoming events including competitions, posing clinics and seminars being held across Canada.   2018 was a transition year, I believe now the qualifications and rules are more clarified to everyone, this will result in more competitive Pro Qualifiers.
