Beginning in 2012, the Board of Directors agreed to present an annual award in memory of a former FDSA athlete and staff member. The award honors the memory of Matt Sloan, a Fredericton, NB native who died in September 2011. Matt was a proud graduate of the UNB Kinesiology (Recreation) program and completed his Education degree at the University of Maine Presque Isle. He believed strongly in the power of recreation to enrich lives. From his early childhood, Matt played on many sports teams and, in recent years, coached a number of school and community teams. Guided by his studies and his convictions, he worked for several summers with the Fredericton District Soccer Association and as a counselor at Camp Takajo in Naples, Maine.
The MATT SLOAN MEMORIAL BURSARY ($250) will be presented to a graduating FDSA member who best represents the ideals of an unsung hero and who exemplifies the development of the person through sport.
