It is with great sadness that we have lost a long-term CMSC member and friend.

Cliodna Johnston was killed in an automobile accident near Revelstoke B.C. yesterday. This is truly shocking news to all of us and Cliodna’s family.

[UPDATE]

Cliodna’s service is planned for 2 p.m. Sunday Sept 2 at Foster’s at 3220 4th Street NW Calgary. The website is for the venue is HERE.

Cliodna’s sister Eimear, her cousin Sarah, and her friend John, are arriving in Calgary today Wednesday August 29 from Dublin and staying through until Tuesday September 4th when they will take Cliodna’s ashes back to Ireland for a funeral service there. Eimear will return to Calgary later in September to take care of Clionda’s estate.

Yesterday, Jan Turner & John Grave set up a memorial at the site of Cliodna’s passing – note the swim goggles in the picture.

 

 

Congratulations To Our Ultra Swimmers!

I would like to take a moment to shine the spot-light on two of our swimmers: Alexandra Mircovik and Curtis Edmunds.

Alexandra completed the 11.8km Skaha Lake Ultra Swim this weekend at a time of just over 4 hours.

Similarly, on the opposite side of the country, Curtis Edmunds was the first swimmer to complete this year’s Give To Live’s Big Swim. This charity swim is across the Northumberland Strait from New Brunswick to Borden-Carleton, P.E.I.

Both Alexandra and Curtis deserve a big congratulations for their excellent performances – keep up the great swimming!

 

 

Registration Update

Hi everyone,

We have just recently completed our early-bird registration for existing members and we are now looking at our waiting list to add new members to the team. The start of New CMSC Member Registrations will be on Tuesday, August 7th, at 10:00 AM. We have limited space in most of our Training Sessions, so acceptance will be on a first come basis until we are full. Potential New Members will be able to use the Registration link that will appear on our website that will direct them to the Active Works Site for Registering (this link will not be available until August 7th).

If there are any existing members who missed the early bird registration or are still having issues, please contact either myself at communications@cmsc.ab.ca or reach out to any of the other exec.

Happy long weekend everyone!
