Strachan and younger brother Wyatt joke around with their cousins
after the McGill-Queen's game in Montreal. It was the only time the two faced each other on the gridiron. While Wyatt ran for two TDs, Strachan's Redmen came out on top.
GET INVOLVED WITH SHLF
We are pleased to announce that the Strachan Hartley Legacy Foundation now has two active committees – one in Montreal and one in Vancouver. An incredible group of people make up the committees and are deeply committed to keeping Strachan's legacy alive and growing.
Thanks to your support, the SHLF has seen outstanding results in our first year (as of July 2008):
> Over 4000 participants in fourteen events across the country.
> More than $400,000 raised.
> Helping to provide meals, tutoring, coaching and competition to over one thousand Haitian youth every week.
> Provided 15 under-privileged children in Quebec with shoes and coaching to complete a training program and 10 km run this fall.
> Presented inaugural Strachan Hartley Scholarship to Handsworth graduate Sarah Zargarpour who is currently playing field hockey for Bucknell College.
> We are very proud of our progress so far and in the upcoming year will be focusing on deepening our impact and truly making a difference in the lives of more children
