Mayor's Breakfast
Once again, the National Sport School is proud to have been part of Sport Calgary’s Mayor’s Sport Breakfast. Forty of our student-athletes were on 
hand to represent grassroots athletics, proudly reflecting the school’s Culture of Excellence to His Excellency, Mayor Naheed Nenshi, keynote speaker Carol Huynh, several high performance athletes, and key members of Calgary’s business community. Alpine skier Scott Brown and swimmer Chelsea Shaul were spectacular, co-emceeing alongside the CBC’s Doug Dirks, and speaking to the attendees about the impact of sport on their lives.
The National Sport School would also like to congratulate our colleagues from WinSport Canada for receiving the Business and Sport Excellence Award, recognizing and celebrating their outstanding, innovative and consistent support to sport.
