NORTHERN ALBERTA CURLING CHAMPIONSHIP SOCIETY

(Legacy Funds from the CCA Season of Champions Events)


The NACCS was set up as a separate legal entity affiliated through Board Representation with the NACA.  It is not operating as a subsidiary in anyway, but has very close affiliation through it's board members and corporate objective to promote curling in Alberta.


There were two reasons for creating the separate entity to run the Edmonton 1999 Brier.


  • NACA Executive members and Past Presidents that were dedicated to the sport and NACA would be entrusted to manage the event, leaving NACA to carry on business as usual.
    • From a legal perspective the financial outcome of the event and the business conduct of the host committee members  would not be challenged through the NACA.  Simply...NACA did not have to accept any accountability, risk or liablity with the event and could not be sued nor would a financial loss on the event impact NACA.


    The Brier was a huge success and exceeded expectations.  The NACCS Board has recommended that the NACCS become a legacy for NACA and be managed by key individuals responsible for the success and representatives of NACA.


    Rational:


    • The investment of funds will require resources to evaluate, contract and manage initiatives.  Workload can not be born by NACA.
    • A separate organization is oblivious to the NACA and curling politics and influences and can protect funds earned to ensure they meet objectives of Revenue Generation for NACA and NACCS.
    • NACCS will maintain the continuity and perpetuity of the fund so it is not lost through changing executives and governance.
    • NACCS will ensure the funds are put to promotional use and revenue generation and not capital projects as was the funds generated by the 1987 Brier.
