Craig was an honour roll student and an important member of the sports program, most notably playing basketball, soccer, tennis and badminton. In his first few weeks of starting at GNS, he was a member of the CAIS U-13 Soccer Tournament team that was runner-up in Halifax. However, he truly excelled as a golfer.

He’s now an investment adviser, and will tell you that the $100 junior membership at Victoria Golf Club was the best investment his family could make! He says, “It was a steal—I played there all the time.”

His tournament record speaks for itself:
