Canadian masters elect 1988 Olympian as CMAA president

Canadian delegates gathered Monday in lasix furosemide Toronto for their Annual General Meeting. They chose a new leader, reports Doug Smith of Ontario, who writes: “Brian Keaveney’s term as president expired. Paul Osland was elected as the new president. Paul took the famous fall over the finish line when he was tripped in Lahti — still winning the silver in the 1500!” Paul, a 1988 Olympian for Canada who was born near Los Angeles, wrote a nice little letter introducing himself. Paul says: “My vision is for CMAA to become the ‘go to place’ for all masters’ athletes in Canada as a source of information, community networking and the development and promotion of Masters Athletics within ambien Canada . . . I look forward to serving this great community of athletes and I welcome any comments or feedback to
help us to build an even stronger organization. Please direct your feedback by email to
