IAKS STUDY TRIP 2022: NEW DATES 14/15 JUNE The dates of the eagerly awaited IAKS Study Trip to Vancouver (Canada) have already had to be postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but now participants, tour guides, sports facility operators and partners can look forward to a highly informative viewing programme. On the agenda are eight high-calibre sports and leisure facilities in the Greater Vancouver area. Like the trips in 2018 (Copenhagen, Denmark) and 2019 (Hamburg, Germany), the IAKS Study Trip 2022 promises to be a magnificent experience offering a wealth of background information, exclusive insights and international networking. Meet the architects and operators of these facilities: • Edmonds Community Centre (multi-generational and multi-service recreation centre) • Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre (world-class aquatic centre for competition and recreation with inclusive and universal access) • Clayton Community Centre (futuristic community centre, combining recreation, a library, arts and parks) • Westminster Pier Park (downtown waterfront park and public space) • Hillcrest Centre (rejuvenation of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Curling Venue)
• University of British Columbia Aquatic Centre (serving athletic training, competition and neighbourhood leisure needs) • Minoru Centre for Active Living (pool, multi-purpose seniors centre and athletics facility) • Richmond Olympic Oval (signature venue of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games turned into a multi-purpose international centre for sports competitions, recreation, health, wellness, and entertainment) The participation fee is EUR 275 for IAKS members (EUR 345 for non-members) and includes the two-day tour with a coach and tour guide, lunch on both days of the event and a joint dinner on 14 June at selected restaurants. Participants make their own travel arrangements to and from Vancouver; there is the option to extend one’s stay. Registrations are open at: https://iaks.sport/event/iaks-study-trip-vancouver- canada
This is what participants of former IAKS Study Trips say: “I found the program very interesting, and your company and tour guide was an absolute pleasure“ Jens Øyås Møller from Denmark LOA Lokale & Anlaegsfonden (Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities) Photo: LOA fonden
