Alpine Canada's board chair has made a personal donation of $1.3 million to national alpine, para-alpine and ski cross racers to reduce the amount athletes pay out of their own pocket to race for their country.

Dattels of Caledon, Ont., is a partner in the global equity firm TPG and chairman of TPG Asia. He’s been Alpine Canada’s board chair since 2019.“We’re still asking our athletes to put up anywhere, plus or minus, $30,000 to represent Canada at the highest level,” Dattels told The Canadian Press. “I really wanted the athletes to feel that people are focused on them. That goes at all levels from financial sport to safe sport to coaching and doing the best we can for them. There’s still lots of wood to chop here but we’re getting there.”
He was among heavy hitters from the financial world joining Alpine Canada’s board three years ago alongside Bank of Montreal chief executive officer Darryl White, former Teck Resources CEO Don Lindsay and Alberta Investment Management chair Mark Wiseman. “I think everybody could really feel that his support goes far beyond what anyone else has done before.
Cameron Alexander of North Vancouver, B.C., won his first World Cup downhill and Crawford was second in a super-G in Norway in March.
