It was my distinct pleasure to present this years' award for Canadian Chess Volunteer of the Year at the Canadian Open awards ceremony yesterday to Maurice Smith.

We are blessed with many dedicated volunteers across the country. Organized chess in Canada would simply not exist without their tireless efforts. Maurice serves as a wonderful example for others to emulate.

Over the past 22 years, Maurice has served as CFC President, FIDE Rep, OCA President, and more recently as CFC Treasurer. On the local chess scene, he has a long distinguished history as President of the very successful Scarborough Chess Club.

Maurice, thank you! :)
