One of Richmond’s best-known pioneers has
been honoured with a provincial award.
On Wednesday, Jim Lamond was recognized by
B.C. Premier John Horgan with a B.C. Community Achievement Award. Scott
McIntyre, chair of the foundation, also made the presentation in Victoria.
“The dedication and generosity of British
Columbians like these make our communities great places to live,” Horgan said.
Lamond has made many significant
contributions to Richmond’s sports community, and continues to chair the
Richmond Sports Council of which he was a founding member. He is also
co-founder of KidSport-Richmond which ensures that finances do not prevent
children the opportunity to participate in sport.
Active in the sports community for 45-plus
years, Lamond has also dedicated countless volunteer hours to the BC Forester
Games for disabled athletes as well as the BC Summer Games and BC Seniors
Games. He is currently working on a possible Richmond bid to host the 2020
Seniors Games with city councillor Bill McNulty, another longtime Richmond
sports contributor who received a B.C. Community Achievement Award in 2004, the
second year the awards were presented.
