Terrance Millar announced to the Board of Equestrian Canada (EC) on Jan. 3, 2017, his decision to resign from his position as a Director of EC. Terrance had served as a member of EC's Bylaws Task Force prior to his election as a Director, and played an instrumental role in the challenging process to modernize, restructure and reorganize EC's governance and Bylaws over the past 18 months. In addition to his role as a Director, Terrance also served as Chef de Mission for the Canadian Equestrian Team at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and remained as a member of the Jumping Committee (formerly named Jump Canada). Terrence intends to continue to serve as a member of the Jumping Committee. "We were privileged to have Terrance on our Board, given his long experience in the equestrian world," said Jorge Bernhard, EC President. "Terrance is well recognized in Canada and internationally through his long-standing career as an Olympian and his involvement at senior levels with Canadian jumping." The Discipline Committees represent EC's main sports operational connection. The Board and CEO recognize and value the knowledge, experience, and dedication the Committee members bring to EC. The Board and CEO remain determined to do what is needed to improve EC and find the efficiencies required to build a top-class, unified Federation consisting of a more practical and workable balance between the roles, responsibilities and accountabilities of the EC staff and those of the volunteer Discipline Committees. EC wishes to sincerely thank Terrance for his service and dedication to the Federation as a member of its Board of Directors. His knowledge, pragmatism and good sense of humour will be missed at the board table.
