Dr. David Legg, a professor at MRU who lives in Cochrane, recently received the Gary McPherson Leadership Award, in recognition of Persons with Disabilities. He had this reaction to the honour.

Dr. Legg was particularly proud to receive this award as Gary MacPherson was a friend and mentor. Legg is currently the President of the Canadian Paralympic Committee and is on the Board of the Toronto 2015 PanAmerican Games.
