The Cause

 

The Canadian Athletes Now Fund is a non-for-profit organization devoted solely to raising money and awareness for Canada’s amateur athletes. Since 1997, the not-for-profit Fund has helped Canada’s amateur athletes prepare for international summer and winter games. Monies donated to the Fund go directly to Canadian athletes to support their training, coaching, nutrition and living expenses in preparation for international competition. To compete for medals internationally, our athletes require year-round financial support. Our mission is to underwrite the expenses of as many Canadian amateur athletes as possible to help them remain competitive at a world-class level.

 

Events

A series of high-end food and beverage pairings will begin the evening.  A panel of guest judges will rate the pairings and choose the top three. The guest judges are  The Honourable A. A. Coulter Osborne, Tony Aspler The renown wine critic, Kevin Brauch from Thirsty Traveller, Josee Chouinard Canadian Skater, and Stephen Beaumont author and critic on beer and food pairings.

The History

In 1612,  just outside of London England.  The first English “Olimpicks” were under way.  Robert Dover was a local lawyer who initiated the games.  Dover was a legal advocate that believed greatly in a sense of community, and felt that his profession had an obligation to those less fortunate.

 

On Oct 2nd  The Monk’s Tabletm  is proud to sponsor for the first time in Canada a version of the Dover Olimpicks that will be named

 The Bar and Benchtm  in honor of Robert Dover’s profession and his promotion of an event that has  been cited by the British Olympic Association as a precursor to the Olympics as we know them today:

 

‘The Cotswold Games began the historical thread in Britain that was ultimately to lead to the creation of the modern Olympics’.

 

Traditional, unique, and hard to find English ales will be available, some imported for the first time in Canada for this event.  Olympic Athletes will be in attendance as well as performing demonstrations on the Campbell House lawns 160 Queen St.
