My view on the universities cutting varsity sport programs in Canadian universities

https://t.co/2ULHcPpoL6

[James Gates @jamesgatessask]

McGill cut the varsity track & field team. They made no request for financial or volunteer support. These athletes will no longer be able to compete in U Sports competitions. Reinstate McGill's varsity track & field team - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/nNkrVp5dxQ @CdnChange

[James Gates @jamesgatessask]

@mcgillu kept fundraising for track and field this fall. I donated. I received a card thanking me for my donation within days of McGill announcing the team is cut.

30 Canadian Universities make T&F programs work. 80 track athletes will leave McGill mid-degree. @McGillPresident

The A’s went 4-1 on the weekend, losing the final to a tough East Central Red Sox team. Watched a lot of great baseball plays this weekend. Here are some of Ben’s moments from today. https://t.co/XtS1yWJiRD

[James Gates @jamesgatessask]

Ben went 93 pitches over 6 innings today for the win. Jett finished the game with 3Ks. This was a good one to watch. 18U AAA Athletics beat Moose Jaw 9-2. https://t.co/bK5zc2bLUI

My first marathon in the books. 3:19:09. Pretty fortunate to have good pacers on the course, an overcast day, and @amygatessk @tracyleegates out there to give me a boost at 19k and 32k. Shout out to @ww.runclub for the year round motivation!
