On June 23rd, 2023, the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association (OFSAA) awarded Lana Fernley with The Pete Beach Award!
Pete Beach was a former Executive Director of OFSAA whose life was dedicated to sport and helping others achieve their full potential. Recipients of the Pete Beach Award exemplify the same dedication, spirit and love of sport that made Pete Beach a success in both his professional and personal life.
In her 23 years at Assumption Catholic Secondary School, Lana has been a role model for many students. She has displayed the ability to utilize the medium of school sport to positively influence students in different aspects of their lives.
“Sports is an outlet for students not just to have fun and be social but also to make new friends and boost their self-confidence,” said Lana. “Sports help students develop teamwork, leadership and problem-solving skills that can be useful in other areas of life.”
Congratulations Lana for this well-deserved award!
