No. 401-C-65 .4i Time flies fast ,daaing summer holidays and it won't be long before its back to school on Sep-. tember G. The coming school year takes us right into Canada's Centennial celebrations and there will be some special news this fall for the five lulu a half million children and teenagers attending schools throughout the country. School posters and classroom posters will announce the news irl SepteMber that all public and high sehool students from six to 18 years of age will be invited to participate in the Centennial Athletic Awards program. There will be three "compulsory" events: one minute speed sit-up, a 3.00 yard run, and a standing broad jamp. Participants in the awards program will choose one additional event out of three "opt- ioaiala" SWiiillning, skating or Cross country run. The .Centennial Commission, with the Centennial planners of 'the provinces, decided on this broad program for schools so that all children in the country 1,voil Id have the oppeatunity to; take an active part ill the Cen- tennial. (A separate program along the seine lines has been approved for . those atteading schools for retarded children.) The standards for every age, six to 18, by which particiPaats. will be judged in the compulsory events are those aeveleped by the Canadian Association for Health Physical Education and Reereas tion (CAAP11.13.)• In the optional events the swiminiag standards are those of the Canadian. Amateur Swimming Association. For skating; tae0 Canadian Amateur speed Skat- ing Association standards will be used. No Canadian standards for a cross country run have ever been developed before so the Centennial ComIlliSsion, has tested groups of school children of various ages in the Ottawa area and has set up special ones for the 1967 program. The department of education, in each province will be sending, out teachers' manuals to schools for 'the beginning of the fall term, Teachers also will receive class record sheets and each student will receive a wallet size card SO that he can keep his score during the centennial athletic events which may be run off between Sept. 6, 1966 and De- ember 31, 1967. Gold, silver and bronze Cen- tennial crests for achievement will go to outstanding athlets in the awards program. If a student does not achieve stand- ards in athletic events to merit a .gold, silver Or bronze award he will, receive a red crest for participation and at least a pas- sing mark in all events. The Commission and the Pro- vinces, in planning the Centen- nial Athletic Awards Program, selected events that would re- quire no special athletic equip- ment and that would be suitable for maximum participation. Ail administration will be handled through the provincial depart- ments of education. Teachers will conduct the compulsory events but a teacher may dele• gate anyone to conduct optional events. The planing of the program has been done with sports direc- tors of the provinces and ter- 'ritories and various Canadian sports organizations and, with the approval of all provinces and ter- ritories plus the Department of Indian Affairs, the Department of National Defence (responsible for Canadian schools overseas), and the Department of Northern Affairs (which aanunisters schoos in the territories and Arctic Islands.) So there is something special to look forward to, on and after September 6. I have been saying all along that everybody can take part in the Centennial celebrat- ions and the athletic awards pro- gram is just one of the many opportunities for school children to be involved in Canada's birthday party.
