Home :> Partners :> North Canterbury Sport and Recreation Trust
The North Canterbury Sport & Recreation Trust is the charitable organisation that manages and administers the McAlpines Mitre 10 Mega Sports Centre.
The Trust was established in 1982, as a partnership between representatives of the North Canterbury community, Waimakariri District Council and Rangiora High School to raise funds for facilities to provide recreational and sporting activities to benefit the entire community. Some of the Trust's earliest Trustees included former Waimakariri District Mayor, the late Trevor Inch, former Rangiora High School Principal, Colin McIntosh and sports identity, Frank Rapley. Founding Trustees Gerry Stone and George Scott are still active on the Trust.
Today the Trust is chaired by Tony Hall. Its Chief Executive Officer is Michael Sharpe who manages the day to day operations at the AMI Sports & Fitness Centre.
One of Trust's first initiatives in the 1980s was to build a recreation facility at East Belt, Rangiora (formerly the AMI Sports & Fitness Centre, now the McAlpines Mitre 10 Mega Sports Centre).
The McAlpines Mitre 10 Mega Sports Centre's commercial activities are run entirely under the umbrella of the Trust, which as a charitable organisation is committed to dedicating its surpluses and assets to the betterment of the North Canterbury community through its Charitable Objectives and Trust Deed.
The work of the Trust extends much further than simply providing gym and fitness facilities at the Centre. It is also involved with a number of community initiatives that are run both via the Sports Centre and in the wider community. These initiatives include running gym and dance classes for young people; organising the North Canterbury Sports Awards and The Biggest Loser Competition; running junior and mid-week indoor sporting events; providing a base for community health initiatives, and providing an administrative hub for a number of sporting clubs.
It requires commitment and an investment in a wide range of initiatives to build a highly productive community, in which individuals of all ages are encouraged to reach their full health, fitness and sporting potential. That's why the work of the North Canterbury Sport & Recreation Trust is so important.
