Simard replaces Theresa Hanson, who held a similar role and departed from the school in August 2023.
In a news release today, Aug. 20, the Burnaby university announced that Luc Simard will take over a similar role previously held by former Senior Director of Athletics and Recreation Theresa Hanson, who left the school in August 2023 through a "mutual agreement" between her and the post-secondary institution.
Simard comes to Burnaby from the University of Toronto, where he was most recently the Sports and Recreation Director. SFU says Simard also has more than 15 years' experience in senior management and facility and business development at municipal recreation and culture departments in Ontario and Australia.
Hanson said they talked to the NCAA, NAIA and U SPORTS — Canada's highest level of university sport — about moving the program.
