ABOUT DAVID FORD

World Champion, 5x Olympian, Canadian Male Athlete of the Year

Edmonton born David Ford has been a member of the Canadian National Whitewater Slalom Kayak Team since 1984 and is a World Champion and five time Olympian. The world of professional athletics isn’t an easy one. It’s a full-time commitment requiring personal sacrifice and a dedication to preparation. Told at an early age that there would never be a World Champion from Canada, this planted the seed for his incredible work ethic, attention to detail, and his relentless pursuit of the ultimate goal: to compete at the very top level of professional sport.
