CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE March April 2023 | Page 42

Big thanks the Hilton Garden Inn for supplying an incredible venue & meeting room – we had an absolute blast . Their staff made this event run so smoothly .
It was so fantastic to have over 8 IFBB Pro athletes attend . The people we involve who you notice on all our posters and artwork are the real people who help grow our sport . They are invaluable so a massive thank you goes a long way , and these are the people we try to keep in our circle , the ones who demonstrate it , show it , and appreciate what J & H stands for . We are workaholics , we do not stop , and although a promoter ’ s job can be quite challenging and as much as some people believe it ’ s just a business , it couldn`t be further from the truth . We don`t have to do hold seminars , we don`t have to rent 10K venues , we don`t have to give back the best of the best rewards & awards , but I think we`ve proven our worth time and time again that we do it for the love of the sport , do it for the athletes ( including our pros ) and the time we spend away from our actual families doing what we do creates new families in the community and the sport of bodybuilding . We have been involved in this sport for over 20 years for me and 50 years for Jean and we confidently say that we do our best to ; # 1 Include all our key people and ambassadors and give them the platform they deserve , # 2 Provide education , assistance and hands on facilitation to all of our athletes , and # 3 Give back to them with gifts , door prizes and / or grab bags for attending at a minimum .
Overall , the level of respect and gratefulness we received was worth the time and effort put into this successful event . We had 38 True Novice athletes attend and over 50 have never been to a seminar so history was definitely made !
In closing , thank you to all the people who make the athlete ’ s experience fun and that much more rewarding to do J & H Events . We will continue doing what we love no matter what life throws at us , that ’ s true passion and that ’ s rare .
- Heather & Jean
