n early March, the Fitness Business Canada team travelled to Los Angeles to attend IHRSA’s 36th Annual International Convention and Trade Show. We are proud to have one of our own, Don Longwell, founding
editor of FBC, selected for the Canadian Fitness Industry Leadership Award, which was presented to him at the Canada VIP reception (see page 8). The award is presented annually by the Fitness Industry Council
of Canada (FIC) to an individual who has made significant and longstanding contributions to the Canadian fitness industry. While Don was both proud and humbled with the recognition, the award is also valuable because it encourages and inspires others who are at
earlier stages in their careers. FIC is currently accepting recommendations for next year’s award. If you know
someone who might be deserving, contact FIC’s executive director, Trisha Sarker, at
tsarker@ficdn.ca for details on submitting a nomination.
