Having completed a three-year term on the VANOC board, Jarvis’s second appointment extends through to 2010. Jarvis has been a board member of the CPC since 1993, and was president from 1999 until early 2006.
Jarvis competed at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympic Games and served as the chef de mission for the Canadian team at the 1998 Nagano Paralympic Games and was an official CPC representative at the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games and the Salt Lake City 2002 Paralympic Games.
Jarvis was a member of the first National Sport Advisory Committee to the Secretary of State for Amateur Sport and the 2010 Bid Corporation Board of Directors. Based in Calgary, Alberta, he is a certified engineering technologist and the owner of Amarok Training Services.
Vancouver native Hungerford will represent the CPC on the not-for-profit 2010 Games Operating Trust, which oversees the Legacy Endowment Fund, provides operating and maintenance funding for three principle venues to be built as part of the 2010 Games, and funds high-performance programming for Canadian athletes.
“George has a passion for the Paralympic movement and actively advocates for disabled people to become active and get connected through sport. He also has the solid financial background needed for this appointment,” says CPC chief operating officer Brian MacPherson.
Hungerford won Olympic gold at the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games in pairs rowing with Roger Jackson. The two athletes were awarded the prestigious Lou Marsh trophy as Canada’s outstanding male athlete – either professional or amateur – in 1964.
A business lawyer with Fasken Martineau DuMoulin since 2000, he regularly acts for a broad range of clients. He is active in the community, having served as Chair of the Salvation Army Greater Vancouver Advisory Board, Chair of Major Gifts for the BC Cancer Foundation, Chair of Pacific Salmon Foundation, and is currently Chair of the new UBC Richmond Rowing Center. He was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1984 and appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1991.
Hungerford has a Bachelor of Arts (1965) and a Bachelor of Law (1968), both from the University of British Columbia.
