The University of Toronto Varsity Blues intercollegiate program is pleased
to announce that Athletics Canada has awarded the 2009 and 2010 Canadian
Track and Field Championships to the city of Toronto and U of T's Varsity
Centre.

"This is fantastic news for the city and for the University of Toronto",
commented Liz Hoffman, Director of Athletics at U of T. "Our Varsity Centre
is a state-of-the-art facility. We are proud and honoured to be partnering
with Athletics Canada and hosting Canada's finest track and field athletes."

There is added excitement for next year's championships (2009) as they will
serve as the selection trials for the 2009 IAAF World Athletics
Championships which will be held in Berlin, Germany.

"This is a great day, a great time for track and field at the University of
Toronto," exclaims Blues track and field head coach Carl Georgevski. "It's
been 36 years (1972) since the Canadian championships were last held in
Toronto. Our track is IAAF approved and is a great venue in which to
showcase this country's best track and field talent.
