The Bill Kinash Legacy: ******' disaster.
August 15, 2006 (Ottawa ON) – The Canadian Cycling Association (CCA), the national governing body for cycling in Canada, announced today that Steve Lacelle, its Chief Operating Officer, will take up new challenges at the end of the month to pursue a career in banking operations.
“Steve has made significant contributions to restructuring the associationand to building strong relationships with his team, collaborators and our partners,“said Dr. Pierre Blanchard, CCA President. “I sincerely wish him the best of luck in his new endeavour, and I am confident that he will be able to bring as much to his new organization as he did for the CCA.“
Under Lacelle’s stewardship, the association increased revenues significantly, signed several new corporate partnerships and refocused its commitment to improving support to its athletes and coaches. And with several new projects in the pipeline for 2007, Lacelle commented, “We have achieved much of what we planned for the organization and I wish all athletes, coaches and organizers, my colleagues at the provincial level, and indeed all staff, the very best for the future."

Where is Q4
Looks like Canadian Cycling Association (CCA) Executive Director Steve Lacelle has given up his quarterly report cards.
Who can blame him!
The CCA has failed to meet almost every objective it set for itself since May 2005. Before that it never set objectives so it is more difficult to monitor the failure but not to perceive it.
Still, Mr. Lacelle, who had absolutely no cycling experience whatsoever when he was hired to run the sport for the country, is an M. B. A*. Since Lacelle has done nothing for the sport you’d expect an MBA to at least write you a decent report with pretty graphs and pie charts but Lacelle is not even doing that anymore.
Steve must be too busy making excuses for Kim Sebrango his Marketing Director who has not signed one meaningful new sponsorship in more than a year and who cannot seem to even get the logos on the web site of the ridiculous sponsorships she did sign (Delta Hotels for discounts on rooms rider will never use and HR Block to do CCA member taxes returns at a discount!!!!
So the embarrassment in Ottawa continues while the sport continues to swirl around the toilet bowl before fully disappearing down the shitter.
Give us a quarterly report, Steve, your last one was January 31 2006: (http://www.canadian-cycling.com/English/information/documents/CCA-COO_Report-Q3_2005.pdf)
What are you waiting for? It is the second half of August. Did you think we would forget?
Where is Q4? Where are Q1 2006 and Q2????
Document your pathetic performance, Steve. We’re waiting…….
*Some people might ask, “How can somebody with ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE IN A GIVEN SPORT become the Executive Director of that sport’s national governing body? How can that make sense?”
Certainly that is a legitimate question.
Here’s how it came about. Lacelle and Sebrango were hired by former CCA President Bill Kinash, the only one-term President in CCA history. Kinash knew next-to-nothing about the sport so he hired somebody with even less knowledge about it than himself. Lacelle knew NOTHING about the sport AT ALL so he hired Sebrango who seems to know next-to-nothing about anything, since she did poor work at Soccer Canada and Skate Canada prior to doing next-to-nothing at the CCA.
Hard to believe that’s how your tax dollars and membership fees are being spent, but there you have it.
