Wow, I'm terribly late on this.
I can say with complete resolve that the entire body of FIRST in Canada would not be where it is without Ian. Along with Mark Breadner, Roly Anderson, and a number of others who have already been credited for their amazing efforts, Ian has been a forerunner for so many of us growing up with FIRST in Canada.
How he keeps up with both school and FIRST
simultaneously to the degree that he does is beyond me
Congrats Ian!
