He is recipient of the Canada 125 medal as well as the Queen’s Golden and Diamond Jubilee medals and the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers.
For David, an inclusive sport system means having all the conditions in place for Canadians of all ages to participate in any sport activity without barriers. “An equal playing field for everyone. Every Canadian, young or old, irrespective of abilities should have the opportunity to participate in sports or some form of physical fitness. However, there are not sufficient resources in place as yet to facilitate this ideal of full participation.”
