About this Award

In 1997, while director of Sports Services at the University of Ottawa, Luc Gélineau created this fund to honour his parents, Thérèse and Léopold, who gave their children an all-around education by instilling in them solid human and social values. Their generosity and the perseverance they showed when overcoming life's many changes have always been a source of inspiration. The donor thanks the Alumni Association of the University of Ottawa and the Government of Ontario for their matching contributions.
