Panelists reflected on how major events can influence cities for years to come, not only through infrastructure and tourism, but through participation, youth engagement, and shared community pride.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Lumsden emphasized that legacy must be understood as a long-term investment rather than an immediate outcome, particularly when it comes to hosting major sporting events.<\/p>\n<p>“One of the core pieces behind this, what world cities and big cities do, is they look at these types of opportunities as a big city investment, and we should be hosting these types of things to welcome people not just to Toronto, but to this province and this country,” he said.<\/p>\n<p>“The opportunity is to talk about the legacy these things bring to your community. They’re not always immediate, and it’s not about what happened the day after, it’s about the long term. Those investments continue to pay off in how cities grow and how people connect to sport and opportunity.”<\/p>\n<p>Minister Lumsden also spoke to the broader social impact of sport, particularly for youth.<\/p>\n<p>“Sport is about creating opportunities, not only for athletes, but for young people who want to find their way through sport because it leads to so many opportunities,” he said. “It’s about building friendships and coming together.”<\/p>\n<p>Johnson touched on sport’s role in shaping both individual development and community wellbeing.<\/p>\n<div

many things on the business model, and it does even more on the personal side,” he said. “It’s not just about what happens on the field, it’s about what happens in people’s lives, the skills they take away, the friendships they build, and the discipline they develop.”<\/p>\n<p>“Time management, communication, showing up, being prepared, those are life skills,” he added. “I learned them all through sport, and those lessons stay with you long after you stop playing.”<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasized the important role sport plays in supporting mental health and social connection.<\/p>\n<p>“We need positive ways to connect people,” he said. “In a time where isolation is becoming more common, sport brings people together in a meaningful way.”<\/p>\n<p>O’Keefe highlighted NC’s own efforts to build community through athletics, nodding to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/2025\/06\/19\/nc-helps-strengthen-community-through-sport-at-welland-girls-sports-day\/\">Welland Girls Sports Day<\/a> as a local example of sport legacy in action. Taking place this year on June 6, the annual event is held in partnership with the City of Welland and introduces young girls to sport and physical activity in a welcoming environment designed to build confidence and participation from an early age. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/2025\/11\/24\/welland-girls-sports-day-honoured-with-i-d-e-a-award-from-parks-and-recreation-ontario\/\">The initiative was recently recognized with the I.D.E.A. Award from Parks and Recreation Ontario<\/a>, honouring programs that expand equitable access to recreation through inclusive design, advocacy, and community leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Niagara Parks also joined as the presenting sponsor of the Rise & Inspire breakfast. Their ongoing investment in community legacy through sport and tourism was highlighted through their upcoming FIFA World Cup festivities and fan activations, as an example of how major sporting moments can uplift communities and create lasting memories.<\/p>\n<p>In closing remarks, NC President Sean Kennedy took the stage to reflect on the role sport plays in education, student experience, and learning opportunities at the College.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:

She chides grandson-filmmaker Daniel Schubert over his choice of shirt during a visit to her Los Angeles home, but there's trauma beneath the humour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 14, Martha and her family were torn from their village in Czechoslovakia and shipped to Auschwitz. A visit to a Holocaust museum ignites painful memories, including a haunting personal encounter with one of Nazi Germany's most notorious figures. For Martha, however, the emphasis is on a tough but rewarding postwar life in Winnipeg, which she fondly recalls in this warm, intimate portrait of an unrelenting survivor.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\r\n\t\r\n\t<figure class=\"image d tb none\" >\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/edi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2026\/04\/1017789_martha_keyart_16x9.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\t<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\t\r\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sensitive Content Warning:<\/strong> This film has content that may be sensitive for some viewers.
