Canada’s top promoter Joe Spinello knows more than any other amateur bodybuilder the excitement and prestige of representing Canada at the World Championships.

Left to right: Jimmy, Joe and Garry - 1989

“As a bodybuilder I have done it all, winning all the amateur shows in my home province of Quebec, winning the Canadian nationals, and competed as a pro against all the best! But the memories of my competitive career that I cherish the most was when I represented Canada at the 1987 IFBB World Championships where I won the Junior title. There is nothing like competing against the world’s best! I still get chocked up when I think back to the evening finals when they placed the first place gold medal around my neck. The atmosphere and excitement with so many athletes from so many country’s sets the world championships apart from any other bodybuilding show!”

Quebec elite athletes Denis Pedneault & Sylvia Tremblay both share the same passion and positive experiences from the IFBB World Championships as both represented Canada at last falls events. Pedneault proved without a doubt that he is one of the world’s best Bantamweight athletes finishing in fourth place against a very tough lineup. Tremblay dazzled the world stage with her artistic and flamboyant fitness routine and superb balanced physique with an impressive 6th place finish.
Spinello has always had a special passion for the World Championships and continues to preach the positive aspects of competing at the worlds!

“I am proud to promote this event in Quebec as it is the only contest in Canada that qualifies athletes the opportunity to represent Canada at the IFBB World Championships. Yes, there are a lot of other organizations out there but the only one that really counts, is the IFBB, regardless of what anyone might think of say!

I really want to raise the bar for Canadian athletes with this show. Bodybuilding has been very good to me, and I want to give something back by promoting the best possible contest to provide worthy athletes the same opportunity I had to enrich their competitive amateur career with the IFBB World Championship experience!”

Joe is correct, there are a lot of organizations out there looking to capitalize on the many years of hard work done by those who have built up Canadian bodybuilding.

But it is only through competing at CBBF events can a Canadian athlete obtain the opportunity to compete at the IFBB worlds, Arnold Amateur, IFBB North American Championships or earn a Pro card and go on to compete at Arnold Classic or the Mr. Olympia.

The Canadian Bodybuilding Federation goes back to the mid forties when Ben and Joe Weider then living in Quebec formed it. I have worked and covered CBBF national events for over 30 years and it is the only national organization with a long history and credited track record of elite champions and top-notch events.

Joe Spinello and Ben Brodeur are two such individuals who have worked hard along with many others building the sport in Quebec and Canada. A lot of the new organizations are only interested in making money with no set rules or regulations to govern themselves.

To gain competitors they dangle prize money, promise publicity, and even pro status, which is only good for their particular shows. Their bombardment of propaganda on the inter-net often confuses athletes who are unaware of the limitations of competing in these shows and are frustrated when they are turned down from competing in a prestigious show such as the Arnold Amateur by not qualifying through a CBBF event.

The Canadian Bodybuilding Federation is the only bodybuilding and fitness organization that has official and organized recognition in every province in Canada with a long history of sanctioned provincial competitions.

In its continuing efforts to raise the bar for Canadian athletes the CBBF will be adding the Bikini Model Search category to the 2010 Natural Physique Championships.

This new division is growing in popularity throughout Canada and I expect to see some of Canada’s most fit and attractive models on stage in April.

This year’s CBBF Natural Physique Championships will prove to be one of the most competitive in the Figure, Fitness, and Bikini Model divisions because the winners will receive a Pro card.

With the addition of a Pro card many of Canada’s top figure, fitness and bikini athletes will land in Laval on the weekend of April 3, 2010 all dreaming of winning that coveted Pro card that is their ticket to someday standing on the Olympia stage.
