David
Stewart, a native of Scotland, became the Athletic Director
at Durham College in 1970 and over a twenty-six year period
was a guiding force in DC Athletics and OCAA from the time
he arrived David's long and successful career had many memorable
highlights, including the school's first ever Championship
which came in Men's Curling in 1972; the official opening
of the Athletic Centre in 1977; and the hosting of the CCAA
National Men's and Women's Volleyball Championships in 1990.
Besides his accomplishments at Durham, which also included
coaching several teams, he was also an outstanding all-star
athlete in a number of sports - football, basketball and
fastball. In 1993 David was inducted into the Oshawa Sports
Hall of Fame in the team category with the 1974 Men's Fastball
National Champion Oshawa Tony's. Durham College and its
students over the years have benefited from Dave's vision
and determination. His total dedication and enthusiasm was
evident throughout the years and through his hard work Durham
has forged a strong reputation of excellence in College
Athletics, not only in Ontario, but across Canada.
