Lifetime Achievement Award Yves Carignan

Yves is a well-known Seniors and Canadian Masters Weightlifting athlete, both in Quebec and around the Canadian weightlifting community. His promotion of weightlifting at the junior, seniors and masters level has impressed his fellow organizers, officials, athletes and spectators.

 

Yves has been a key organizer of the 2019 World Masters Weightlifting Championships and several Canadian Masters Weightlifting Championships (2015, 2018, 2024). He represented WCHM at 12 World Masters Championships and offered his technical expertise as an official at many national and internal masters competitions such as the 2018 Pan Am Masters championships in Gaspe.

 

I have known Yves for many years of my involvement with the Canadian Masters Weightlifting both as organizationally and as one of his competitors. He is a gentleman on and off the competition scene and I admire him for his commitment and dedication to our sport.

 

Congratulations Yves on a well-deserved Award.
