High honours for CGC board member

John Stanton, founder of the Running Room and a member of Commonwealth Games Canada Board of Directors, was invested as a Member of the Order of Canada at a ceremony at Rideau Hall on November 17.

CGC and the Running Room are collaborating on a run in the new year to raise awareness about CGC's International Development through Sport programs. Look for more details on the 10K run and 5K walk in the January edition of the CGC Communiqué.
