Chris George helps establish Black North Athletic Scholarship

‘Business’ from Page 18 program. “When we created the Black North Athletic Scholarship it wasn’t just about the 5,000 dollars, it’s an internship and a dedicated mentorship program.”

He gave an example: “A young Black student athlete from Halifax gets an internship in Toronto, and they get to meet with an established Black professional like myself every month. You’ve tackled two things, the first is getting in the door, and then once you’re through the door. When I look back, it was super isolated.

“I was trying to figure it out, you’re talking to yourself about it, you’re brainstorming with your wife, there’s no one to relate to.”

Ultimately, what Chris sees is not only the responsibility of mentorship, but the opportunity.

He is energized by the numerous possibilities for growth when we diversify and elevate each other.

Maybe Chris’ faith in working together comes from his strong family background, or maybe it comes from all his years playing hockey, but what he knows for sure is that when we have respect, determination, and teamwork, the energy and possibilities are a win for everyone.

With full clarity and enthusiasm Chris said: “The energy we have is fuel. It’s the opposite of when you’re isolated and alone. . . if we’re smart about it, we should be together and strong.”
