A SURE SIGN OF SPRING. FLORAL PRINTS JOIN A PARADE OF BEAUTIFUL COLOURS AND PATTERNS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE AS WARM WEATHER MARCHES IN.
EDITOR’S LETTER At Last! A sunny day, a warm breeze and our unrelenting winter is suddenly forgotten. We all look forward to our summer enjoyments: Whether planting in our gardens, shopping the local farmer’s market, lounging on the dock, waking up our senses with a hike, enjoying a game of tennis, a bike ride perhaps a dip in the lake - Sporting Life brings you the essentials of spring and summer. This season’s sport inspired fashions take cues from around the world to bring an ‘easy’ style home. Brooklyn born hipster street wear style juxtaposes the relaxed silhouettes, watery prints and jewel tones of India. Vibrancy of Brazilian blues, greens and yellows. A hot punch of Caribbean colour throughout our stores grounded by shades of denim, white, travellers tan, olive and hues of khaki. More and more we are embracing high intensity workouts, cross training classes, and endurance races of all kinds to attain our fitness goals. This major trend in fitness and training apparel is as bold as the workouts themselves. Technical fabrics back up your look with performance and mobility. Similarly, our Yoga participants are benefiting from the same technologies or choosing natural fabrics for their regime. Summer wouldn’t be summer without summer camp and cottage-cool cargos, polos, breezy cover ups, rash guards and bikinis. This year, retro 80’s surf style also makes a comeback just in time for the hot weather. Beachy linens,casual dresses, board shorts, and tees in ocean blues and zesty citrus brights and shots of neon for all. Summer also means a time of excitement for Sporting Life, as we plan our opening of two new stores in Ottawa and Markham this coming fall of 2014. We look forward to continue to serve you, our loyal customers as well as introducing new customers to Sporting Life’s unique blend of fashion, active lifestyle apparel, footwear and equipment combined with our ongoing mission to deliver a unique, knowledgeable and exciting shopping experience. Sunny days are ahead – be sure to get out and enjoy them! Sincerely, Patti Russell Sporting Life Co-Founder and Director of Fashion

A FUN RUN FOR A WORTH WHILE
CAUSE!
RUNNERS COMPETING IN THE THE SPORTING LIFE 10K BENEFITTING CAMP OOCHIGEAS. ON MAY 11, 27,000 ARE EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN TORONTO.
S
porting Life Co- Founder Brian McGrath was an early Camp Oochigeas Board member. He always knew it was a great charity in need of a little help. Camp Oochigeas, otherwise known as “Ooch,” provides magical camp experiences for children with cancer. It is unlike any other summer camp. So, it makes sense that The Sporting Life 10K, is just as special. With all the net proceeds of the Sporting Life 10k Run going to Camp Ooch, the run (on behalf of the runners who participate) delivers the largest cash gift donation of any road race in Canada. A worthwhile cause, and a fun and exciting experience on Mother’s Day each spring has contributed to participation in the Sporting Life 10K skyrocketing over the the last number of years. Participation nearly doubled from 2011 to 2012, the run was capped at a whopping 27,000 runners in 2013. This year, the runners are set to hit the pavement on Yonge Street on May 11, crossing the finish line at the Lakeshore’s beautiful Coronation Park. “Camp Ooch is all about fun. It’s about kids making happy memories and taking a break from the challenges of daily life,” says John Roe, Director of Marketing for Sporting Life and the Sporting Life 10K Event Chair. Ooch is more than a summer camp for these special campers. The Muskoka camp location is the only residential camp in Ontario to offer on-site chemotherapy and blood transfusions. The Camp Ooch organisation also offers a year round ‘camp experience’ at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), plus two other regional cancer centers and of course at its Ooch Downtown location in the heart of Toronto where the same campers receive year round “ooch” treatment. “The reality is that the facilities and on site treatment needed to send a kid with cancer to camp costs over $3,500 a week, so a fun run down Yonge Street that sees the net proceeds going to help these brave kids have a great camp experience. That makes a lot of sense. Our goal is to grow this run even more so we can help send more kids to Camp Ooch”. McGrath agrees on the importance of the experience that Camp Ooch provides. “Imagine being able to go to a summer camp and still receive all the treatment you need to fight your cancer”, he says.

RIDERS SCRAMBLE TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE PACK AT THE ENBRIDGE RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER FOR PRINCESS MARGARET HOSPITAL, SPONSORED BY SPORTING LIFE.
RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER
R
iding throughout Ontario’s picturesque countryside in two days. Sure, it sounds like a lot — and it’s meant to be. But make no mistake, The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer® isn’t just for athletes or cycling enthusiasts. It’s for anyone who wants to challenge themselves for a great cause. All you need is motivation, a bike and a helmet. “An event that promotes healthy and active living while raising funds for a great cause is what Sporting Life is all about” said David Russell,President and CEO. “We support The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer® and encourage our community to take on the challenge to Conquer Cancer in our Lifetime”. “Princess Margaret is thrilled to have Sporting Life back as a sponsor of the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer” said Steve Merker, the Ride’s Chief Cycling Officer and Foundation VP. “There are two huge components to a Ride like ours that make the program successful. And those two items are volunteers and sponsors. Without either of them the Ride would not be possible. It’s refreshing to see companies like Sporting Life stepping up to make a real difference in not only our immediate community, but the global community. Princess Margaret is one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world and without the corporate support from organizations like Sporting Life and their customers, we would not be able to achieve the same level of success and therefore not be able to accelerate research at the same pace. We are very appreciative of all our Sponsors and it’s great to see the passion and commitment from Sporting Life year after year”

WHITE YOGA More information and tickets are available at www.Lolëwomen. com for $25, which includes a complimentary Lolë yoga mat.
Did you know that Toronto has the most per capita yoga studios of any city in North America? Its True! We’ve seen yoga apparel become a wardrobe staple, taking you from the studio to the street in style. Sporting Life is very committed to the practice and has searched the world to bring you the best selection of any retailer in our fair city. Brands like Lolë, Omgirl, Prana, Spiritual Gangster, Mindfulness Matters, Trina Turk and Caelum to name but a few. Art, music and Yoga…are the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of modern life! All three have the power to relax, revitalize, inspire and all converge this spring at the third annual Lolë White Tour. During the Lolë White Tour, with stops at art galleries and museums in Barcelona, Montreal, New York, Toronto, and Edmonton yoga enthusiasts will have a chance to practice their postures to the rhythms of live classical music, against the backdrop of cultural treasures. “ We are a proud partner of the Toronto stop on the Lolë White Tour, happening June 12th at the Royal Ontario Museum”. says Robyn Haliburton, Soft Goods Merchandising Manager at Sporting Life. “Lolë is a wonderful Canadian brand and is a key component in our extensive line of yoga apparel and accessories. The Lolë White Tour stop in Toronto promises to be a one-of-a-kind Yoga experience”. “It’s no secret that the ancient practice of yoga is as relevant today as it was a thousand years ago,” says Valerie Pascal, Canadian Director of Sales for Lolë. “That’s why we believe the ROM is such an appropriate venue. Yoga has become very mainstream and has a tremendous following – especially in a city like Toronto where we have seen studios welcomed into just about every community. Lolë is a big part of what’s happening today and we are so thrilled to support the White Tour and bring it to yoga devotees in our community. It really is a not-to-be-missed event! Namaste.
