Pencil drawing of Alwyn Morris, 1985,
artist unknown
Alwyn Morris (born 1957) was a gold and bronze medal
winner, with Hugh Fisher, in the kayak competition at the 1984 Olympic Games. On the podium, he held up
an eagle feather to honour his grandfather and his Mohawk heritage. Involved in the promotion of
athletics among native youth, Morris was awarded the 1992 Johnny F. Bassett Memorial Award, given
to the Canadian amateur athlete who has displayed a combination of sporting excellence and community
values that should be an inspiration to all.
