WELCOME
Here we are again , another great issue with more fantastic information and announcements . Shows are set to start soon and the CPA Promoters are working hard to schedule around more threats of restrictions and lock downs .
Stay positive , stay the course , shows will happen .
Let ’ s welcome Corey Swiergosz on board . Corey will be writing features on the business of the fitness industry . Everything from branding in this issue to sponsorship will be covered . You can follow Corey and The Physique Business on Spotify , Apple and Youtube . Thanks Corey , valuable information for every level of competitor .
Should you find yourself in need of help , it happens , Lesley wrote a great article on managing adversity and is available for questions . Juan has a great piece on the gym closures across the country . It explores the aspects the authorities don ’ t really look at and includes a few references , if you feel overwhelmed . Jed has all the nutrition information . This month spices , not just great to add flavour but good for your body as well .
We all know how well our promoters do with Canadian shows and it is no secret that they are well respected in our industry , now a few have gone international . Start with Ryan Malo who is hosting two shows in Manitoba and one with partner Jean-Jacques Dugas in Quebec and was supposed to host a show in Cancun last year with partner Humberto Kauffmann and we are told that show will happen this year .
Our President Ron Hache has partnered with 2 Bros Pro Events Ian Constable to host five regional ( Open & Natural ) events as well as two Pro Qualifiers in France .
News just in this week , John Aiello of the Cobourg Naturals and Legend ’ s Cup has been awarded a Regional and a Pro Show in Albania in 2022 .
To say we are proud of the accomplishments of all our promoters in Canada is an understatement and they always receive our full support . To be honoured and trusted to bring that same knowledge and commitment to other countries needs to be applauded .
Congratulations each of you and best of fortune in these new endeavours .
Enjoy this issue , watch for the new posters and dates and stay strong in your prep .
