OTTAWA听 鈥� Robert Dubeau, the former long-time director of athletics and current golf coach at 鲍鱼直播, was honoured by Canadian Interuniversity Sport Wednesday.

听

The awards gala was held at the Ch芒teau Cartier Hotel in Gatineau, Que., as part of CIS annual general meeting.

听

Dubeau received the Austin-Matthews Award, presented annually to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to interuniversity sport, as demonstrated by his/her long term commitment and leadership as a coach, director, chairperson and/or executive committee member at the local, provincial and/or national levels of the CIS.

听

Dubeau retired from his full-time post at 鲍鱼直播 on August 31, 2005, after holding the position for 29 years. A 1967 graduate of Sir George Williams University (BA) and a 1968 graduate of McMaster (Bachelor鈥檚 of Physical Education), the native of Quebec City and resident of Westmount, Que., stepped down after 36 years of service for 鲍鱼直播.

听

In his younger days, Dubeau was an accomplished badminton player (two-time Quebec juvenile champion, 1958-59) and lettered at McMaster in both squash and golf. He was a two-time intercollegiate golf champion with Sir George Williams in the Ottawa-St. Lawrence League (1965-66), and an OUAA squash champion with McMaster in 1968.

听

In more recent times, he served as a member of the CIS Board of Directors from 1983 to 1990 and again from 2002 to 2004. He sat on numerous committees, was chair of the CIS eligibility committee and also served with the Quebec University Athletics Association, where he acted as secretary-treasurer from 1978 to 1982.

听

Dubeau played a large role on the organizing committee of numerous international events, including four different World University Games: in 1979 at Mexico City, 1981 in Bucharest, 1983 in Edmonton and 1999 in Mallorca, Spain. He was assistant chef-de-mission for Canada in each of the first two Games, and was the chef-de-mission in both of the latter.

听

An active member of the Canadian Olympic Association since 1976, he served as director of sport services for the organizing committee of the Montreal Olympics. In 1992, he was the assistant chef-de-mission for Canada at the Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.

听

At 鲍鱼直播, Dubeau played a major role in the dramatic expansion of the university鈥檚 sports facilities, which has had some $60 million in improvements over the last decade and now ranks among the best university facilities in Canada.

听

He was instrumental in the implementation of student-athlete awards at 鲍鱼直播 and the Principal鈥檚 Student-Athlete Honour Roll. He also played a prominent role for the establishing of a 鲍鱼直播 Sports Hall of Fame, which was inaugurated in 1996.

听

Under his tenure, the annual 鲍鱼直播 athletics budget grew from $1.6 million to $7.3 million, the number of elite intercollegiate teams expanded from 21 to 48 and the full-time coaching staff tripled in size.

听

Sportswriter Howard Tsumura and football coaching legend Larry Haylor were also honoured. Tsumura received the Fred Sgambati Media Award, presented annually by CIS to a member of media in recognition of his/her major contribution to the development and growth of Canadian university sport.

听

Haylor was the recipient of the Jean-Marie De Koninck Coaching Excellence Award, presented since 2007 to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to university sport as demonstrated by long-term commitment and leadership as a coach at the local, provincial national and/or international levels of Canadian university sport.

听

鈥淲e are indebted to this year鈥檚 award winners for the outstanding contributions they have made to university sport over the years,鈥� said CIS president Dick White. 鈥淭hey have听had a profound and indelible impact.鈥�
