The Community Champion recognition program celebrates individuals that inspire and uplift others through their dedication, passion, and leadership in sports. These champions are the heart of our community, fostering connection, inclusion, and resilience through their remarkable efforts. With the support of Elite Sportswear, we’re excited to launch the the program and share our first Champion! Take a look at our heartfelt interview to learn more about this story. Corrine Timmer: A Relentless Champion for Community, Inclusion, and Sport In Alberta’s track and field circles, the name Corrine Timmer is synonymous with commitment, compassion, and quiet leadership. For more than 23 years, Corrine has served the sport not as a paid professional, but as a selfless volunteer—with thousands of hours put in to help athletes, clubs, and the community flourish. Currently the President of both the Edmonton Columbians Track and Field Club and the Edmonton Track and Field Council, and a Director at Large with Athletics Alberta, Corrine wears many hats—but always with the same goal: to create an inclusive, accessible, and thriving environment for athletes of all backgrounds. What began as a personal interest soon transformed into a life’s mission. Initially drawn in by her children’s involvement in athletics, Corrine found her passion for volunteerism sparked by the powerful community spirit of the sport. Over the years, that spark has grown into a full-blown torch she carries for others—mentoring new coaches, advocating for marginalized athletes, and ensuring no one is left behind due to cost, ability, or circumstance. Among her proudest moments? Seeing young athletes return years later—not only still involved in the sport but stepping into volunteer and coaching roles themselves. It’s a testament to the culture of service Corrine has helped build.
