Recognition event for
student athletes
In October 2013, the physical activity

an evening of recognition under
the banner Vivre vos rêves (Living
the dream). Student athletes who
maintained an average of at least 3.7

were recognized during a fundraiser for
both the SAPS and the CHU Dumont
Foundation. The event also included
a keynote speech by former National
Hockey League player Steven Finn,
who played in the NHL for 12 seasons
with the Quebec Nordiques and two
other teams.
