The Canada Games Council (CGC) and Foundation for Athlete Sport Training (FAST) are proud to announce that Simon Dunne has been selected as a recipient of a $2,000 grant for athletic training.

The Selection Committee met on March 31st, 2005 and reviewed nearly 1,000 applications to determine which 75 applicants were the most promising next generation national team athletes.
