Raise a Glass to Malbec! Malbec World Day, April 17 | SaltWire #reels #shorts #wine #foodSYDNEY, N.S. — Cape Breton Capers forward Kiyara Letlow received the annual James Bayer Memorial Scholarship Award, the Atlantic University Sport recently announced.
Bayer taught education and physical education at both high school and university levels. He also served as supervisor and consultant for the Nova Scotia Department of Culture, Recreation and Fitness. During his time at Acadia University, he served as dean of recreation and physical education and as director of athletics from 1978-85. As an administrator in the AUAA and the CIAU, he was a key player in the establishment of intercollegiate athletic policy.
“Once in a while, you encounter a student-athlete that impresses you with their motivation, their dedication, their leadership, their discipline and what they are able to accomplish both in the classroom and on their field of play. In my time here, Kiyara is such a student-athlete,” said John Ryan, director of CBU athletics, in a press release.
In Toronto, Letlow has worked with The Period Purse Initiative – run out of her church with the goal to provide women hygiene products for 1-3 months – packing and distributing kits to members of the community. “While I continue to navigate my roles as a student-athlete and as a member of the community, my dedication to promoting inclusivity, empathy and positive change remains unwavering as I actively seek out ways to become involved in the community and contribute in any way possible,” said Letlow, in the release.
