Equestrian Canada has confirmed that Director of Sport, Jon Garner, is no longer with the organization.

Garner, a former competitions manager and colour commentator at Spruce Meadows, had held the position at EC since August of 2016. EC’s former CEO, Eva Havaris, created the new position as part of the national federations mandate to “redefine EC’s role and reshape the delivery of equestrian sports in Canada in partnership with key stakeholders.”

No official statement was released as per EC’s policy of only announcing upper management staff changes (CEO and Board) while all other staff changes are dealt with as internal communications to stakeholders. There was also no information currently available regarding a replacement.
